Its not about sexism, there's literally books about golfing by women for women that are relevant and appreciated. She has everything she could typicly need , I'd like to get her something more thoughtful and targeted towards that crowd that she might benefit from or enjoy

I appreciate the concern but this will be all I comment on the identity stuff. Just want ideas golfers in your life who are women have enjoyed and appreciated

Considering women can and do use vastly different equipment on average (I think it's toxic masculinity that makes it so guys struggle with the "don't kill the ball" idea and often need more rigid shafts on their clubs), I think you're right to clarify and female golfer sounds a thousand times better than woman golfer.

That said, if you aren't going the gift card route, mix golf and something else and get her a golf towel (has a little ring to attach it to your bag) with some character she likes or something
