    A gift card.

    Buying people stuff for hobbies you know they’re into sounds great, but the thing with gear of something you’re an enthusiast in is that you know your needs and preferences, and other people don’t. Unless she’s told you “this is my dream putter” or something, there’s a good chance you’ll get something she doesn’t really want and might feel obligated to use.

    Exceptions are things like lessons if you know they want them, books on the subject, maybe, or a well researched starter kit for a hobby you know they haven’t actually started but want to explore. But most other stuff, they have their own preferences on. Either talk details, or think about doing something different, IMO.
