Titleist Golf Balls
Save $8 Among the hundreds of deals and price drops associated with Amazon’s sports-themed Deal of the Day today, a diamond of a deal lies hidden in the rough. That diamond is actually a dozen diamonds, and it’s Titleist golf balls. The V1 and the V1x sets (the only difference is softness) are down a paltry $8, but seeing as that’s the lowest price either set has ever been on Amazon, the drop is welcome all the same. It’s likely this will be the easiest stocking stuffer decision of the year. —Will Price
