We’re now smack in the middle of the golf season and what exactly does that coincide with? Father’s day.
You may have a golf-mad dad who’s always at his local club, eager to play every day and desperate not to miss out on socializing at 19y hole then! Your dad might finally be ready to take up golf after threatening you to do it for years and need to nudge him in the right direction. Or it could be somewhere in between. Whatever the scenario, here at AMERICAN GOLF, we want to help.
We have come up with a wide range of products to suit all budgets and to cater to different scenarios. But we are quite sure that if your father is as keen on golf as we are, any of these gifts will be warmly received on the third Sunday in June.
Best golf gifts for fathers day
Benross HTX Steel Golf Package (£399):
If your dad is talking about taking up golf for the first time or getting back into it after a while away, perhaps due to work or family life, this Father’s Day gift will give him the perfect incentive to get back on the track.
This 16-piece set from Benross really ticks all the boxes. Includes 11 putters, from driver through to mallet shaped putter and comes with a great Benross golf bag perfect for placing on either a cart or golf cart. The bag also has a double lifting handle that makes it easy to transport from the car, locker, garage, or wherever it is kept. To complete the package, there are three vintage wooden covers to put on those clubs to keep them from getting knocked over when they’re in the bag.
You might not see your dad much again if you get him this package and he’s really into golf, but we’re sure that’s something you’ll be happy to accept!
Wilson Ultra XD Steel Golf Package (£349):
This is another bundle that would make a great Father’s Day gift for a dad who’s new to the game or a complete novice, as it offers everything he could want.
The Wilson Ultra golf set comes with a driver to hit the ball off the tee, along with a fairway wood and hybrid club, six-iron clubs to a sand wedge and a blade-style putter. To round it out, there is a very cute black and yellow tote bag. This lightweight bag has a carrier attached to it and a large shoulder strap making it easy to carry around the field instead of needing a cart or cart. There are also headcovers included for the driver, spiral wood, and hybrid putter for added protection.
Another thing to keep in mind with this set of bundles is that the clubs are also available for left-handers, so this would be ideal for left-handed beginners.
Under Armor Men’s T2G Print Golf Polo Shirt (£44.99):
Now we all know it’s important to look good on the golf course. But sometimes all our parents need to nudge the right direction in the fashion world!
That’s where this polo shirt from Under Armor comes in. It comes in two very stylish colors—either a little white and blue check with a blue collar, or a little black and white check with a black collar, both finished with the Under Armor logo. Both shirts are also available in sizes Small through XXL.
This polo shirt will work well with shorts or golf pants, while looking good enough to be dressed up on and off the course.
Men’s Adidas Jacquard Golf Polo Shirt (£44.99):
Perhaps now you feel that your dad needs a bold dash to improve his golf wardrobe. If so, this adidas jacquard polo shirt fits the bill. The iconic adidas 3-Stripes provide the sporty element dad can feel comfortable in, while the intricate design brings fashion to the track.
This is available in two very colorful patterns with an all over coating print design – a combination of light blue with flecks of navy for one or a fusion of coral (bright orange) with flecks of gray across the pattern to complete the look for the other. Available again from sizes Small all the way up to XXL, this polo shirt definitely stands out from most of the colorful golf polo shirts available in the market.
New Balance Men’s New Foam Resistant Waterproof Spiked Golf Shoes (£124.99):
To play golf, golf shoes are essential. Your dad may have had the current pair a long time ago and they are starting to creak at the edges or just don’t look as good as when he first got them. Then New Balance waterproof spiked golf shoes would be a very good upgrade. It’s available in sizes from 7.5″ to 11.5″ and comes in three different color combinations—predominantly white with blue and red trim, navy with a hint of white and red, and gray with charcoal trim.
Since these shoes are spikeless, they can be worn away from the golf course (once you’ve cleared up any patches of grass or mud, of course). So if you fancy your dad wearing these to go out to the shops or grab a cup of coffee or a drink, they would make an excellent gift.
Skechers Men’s GO GOLF Torque Victorious Waterproof Spiked Golf Shoes (£99.99):
Unlike New Balance shoes, this pair of Skechers golf shoes are high-top, so they can only be worn for golf. They are lightweight in design so they are not like the heavy and cumbersome golf shoes of the past. The faux leather upper is very smooth and easy to wipe off, so there’s no excuse for your dad not to keep it looking nice and clean!
Available in pristine white or navy blue and in sizes 7 to 11, the golf shoe sports an S logo on the heel. They also offer all the comforts of other Skechers shoes—a comment most customers make and something essential to keep in mind, since golfers are on their feet and in their shoes for up to five hours at a time.
Bushnell Tour V6 Golf Rangefinder (£329.00):
This looks like a camera at first glance but is actually a rangefinder and, more importantly, a piece of technology that could change your dad’s golf game.
A rangefinder is a handheld device used to measure distances to distant objects, in this case the distance from the golf ball to where the pin is on the green. The Bushnell rangefinder has improved speed and accuracy, which means your dad, or any golfer, can point in the direction they want and get the information they need faster than ever before. It also has a magnet that allows it to stick to your golf bag, so you don’t have to worry about where to keep it during your round.
This technique should help your dad, but don’t forget that he’s the one who still has to hit the ball, so he can’t solve everything!
Garmin Approach S62 Golf GPS Watch (£449.99):
If your dad is a total pro, he’ll probably be happy to get a chance to use technology when he’s on the golf course.
This is exactly what he can do with this Garmin GPS watch. Available with a white or black strap to accompany the black face, this device helps you see how far you are from the flag on any given hole. The watch has access to 41,000 golf course maps available in full color at the touch of a button, so your dad should be able to use it wherever he plays. He will never need to guess about how far his ball needs to go again because this watch will tell him the exact yardage.
Callaway Golf Warbird 2.0 12 Golf Ball Pack (£17.99):
No golfer will ever turn their nose up in front of a bunch of golf balls. They will always get used to – and get lost – at some point and any golfer will always want to have a good supply of balls at home or in their golf bag.
For those who aren’t as familiar with golf as your dads, John Rahm, the Spanish golfer who recently won the US Championships in Augusta – the first men’s major event of the season – uses Callaway golf balls, so your dad will be in good company with this one! And if you really want to impress him, you can say that these Callaway Warbird balls are specially designed to help the ball fly far into the air, and trust me, your dad won’t mind hearing that!
Srixon AD333 12 Golf Ball Pack (£22.99):
Again, another box of a dozen golf balls, which would always be welcome. If you’re looking for a small gift or you’re not sure about making a larger purchase, golf balls are a very safe bet. In fact, we can’t play golf without them!
These golf balls were perfect for my dad when he was golfing too, because they also come in yellow which my dad prefers due to declining eyesight because they are specifically designed to stand out visually. If you know that your father prefers yellow balls, then this will be an excellent gift.
They have proven so popular with customers who have already purchased and used them that the manufacturers state they have made a golf ball that provides exceptional distance for tee shots and excellent control on short putts – a combination every golfer follows!
Callaway Warbird Golf Stand Bag (£129.00):
For a Father’s Day gift that will be well received and won’t break the bank, look no further than a brand new golf bag.
The old one might be a little fraying around the edges or you might just think your dad deserves a treat. In this case, the Callaway Warbird bag is a great choice. It comes in black with the signature white Callaway letters on the side, letting other golfers know exactly what kind of bag your dad will have.
Practically speaking, it is lightweight and comfortable with a double strap so the weight will fit on both shoulders as it is carried around the golf course. It also has a high-mount automatic stand system for added stability. In simple terms, this means that it does not fall over, and can be placed upright, so that it does not get wet or dirty during play.
TaylorMade Select Plus Golf Stand Bag (£129.00):
Apart from only 18 holes, this golf bag from TaylorMade is very much like a golf backpack because it offers so many useful touches. If your dad is active and athletic, the TaylorMade golf bag could be right up his street.
With a four-point adjustable backpack-like strap, he can find the exact point at which the golf bag sits comfortably on his shoulders as he carries it around the golf course. This combination of balance and comfort is designed to ensure that the bag does not weigh down the player, the longer they stay on the court. There is an extra large rain and travel cover – perfect for keeping clubs dry if it starts raining, for protecting them in the trunk of a car, or if stowed on an airline when taken on a golf vacation. To make sure nothing is left to chance, there is also a loop for hanging a golf towel and a holder for placing a golf umbrella.
This golf bag is available in three colors: black with simple, unremarkable gray lettering, a stylish mix of black and red, and a mostly navy bag with red and white sections to provide a pop of color. Overall, the TaylorMade Stand Bag really does make a great gift and a Father’s Day golf gift to remember.
