Just because football season's starting doesn't mean you have to give up on golf season just yet.

No matter where you live, whether it's Big Ten or SEC country, the six weeks from the end of August through September can deliver some beautiful weather for golf or football. Why not embrace both?

We've gathered up some affordable golf trinkets that would be perfect for that late-summer/early-fall tailgate, whether it's for a football game or after a round of golf at your personal 19th hole. Buy them for yourself or as a gift for your favorite golfer.

This repurposed iron has been transformed into a Golf Club Bottle Opener by Uncommon Goods. Each one comes with a certificate of authenticity and is one of a kind. We like the idea of popping open a cold one with a 1 iron. We can't hit one, so we might as well find some use for it.

Who doesn't love a good putting challenge? The ExacMe golf putting mat offers a thick, wrinkle-resistant putting surface that can be used indoors or out, plus a carry case that lets you take it on the run. There are three holes - small, medium and regulation sized - to aim at for putts ranging from those pesky two-footers to hard-to-make eight-footers.

This golf ball-shaped mold is perfect for making balls of ices for golfers who drink whiskey or even for kids sipping on a Coke, too. Just fill the dishwasher-safe mold with water and let it freeze. Pro tip: Make a dozen or more right away to store in a plastic baggy in the freezer so they're ready for your next gathering.

For those whiskey snobs ... we mean lovers ... who don't want their favorite drink watered down with melted ice, these Golf Ball Whiskey Chillers will do the trick. They sell as a pair with a velvet carry bag.

What we like from this two-glass set from Uncommon Goods are the wooden coasters that hold a golf ball. To keep your whiskey sipper guessing, why not change out the golf ball from time to time? One week, it's a Pebble Beach logo ball, the next it's Bandon Dunes. We'll toast to that.

Since it's fall, golfers never know if they'll need sun protection or something to block the wind. The Vigor sun sleeves can keep you warm or protect you from UV rays. If you've never worn removable sleeves, you've never experienced just how functional they are. They're better than trying to swing with a bulky sweatshirt or pullover. The stretchy nylon and spandex fabric keeps you from sweating.

If you're wearing a polo from the golf course to the tailgate (or vice versa), you want it to be fun and festive. Nobody does that better than Tipsy Elves. Shop for more styles here.

Football weather means it's time for pants on the golf course. Durable Outset pants from Nomatic can be worn on and off the course and still feel comfortable and functional. The four-way stretch, polyester thread is warp-knitted to create flexibility without using spandex or elastic. The material also has an eco-friendly coating to repel liquids and stains. No more fearing the ketchup-and-relish debacle while eating a hot dog in the golf cart or at the tailgate.
