Father's Day Golf Gift Ideas
Father's Day means two things, gifts and the US Open. If your father is a golfer, your life just got a little easier. I am frequently asked what people should get as gifts for golfers and when Father's Day comes around, I get even more questions. Without keeping you waiting any longer, here are a few suggestions on what to get your father.
(The new SkyCaddie SGX)
GPS/Rangefinder: I'm noticing an upward trend in popularity of these devices and it makes sense. The GPS devices can give you hole by hole instructions with the touch of a button. They can also track your score as well as stats to help your fathers game improve. I recently picked up the SkyCaddie SGX (pictured above) and I'm hooked. It was easy to use and accurate. I can't believe I played golf without one before and I'm looking forward to using it again.
If you fear your dad can't handle the technology but still want to help him improve his golf game, you can go with a Rangefinder. These point and shoot devices will give you the yardage to the pin in just the click of a button. Point, click and get your yardage. It's that simple. The prices for GPS and Rangefinders will vary from $199 to $500 so make sure you do your research before buying one and look to see if they are on sale!
Golf Apparel: When it comes to fashion on the golf course, my dad is a few decades months behind. What can I do to get him out of wearing tube socks on the golf course? Buy better socks for him. Whenever I recommend a golf shirt to someone as a gift I usually hear "he has a lot of those already". Of course he does, HE'S A GOLFER! Golfers like golf shirts. The style and technology of golf shirts is always changing so it's always a great gift. If you're looking to make the shirt extra special, find one from his favorite golf course or a dream course like Pebble Beach or Augusta National. A unique golf shirt will be something he is proud to wear and use, you'll be a hero! Price for golf shirts range but you can find a great shirt for $45 and some from great golf courses throughout the world upwards of $100.
