Okay okay I’ll post this! I’ve gotten a lot of emails asking my “expert” opinion on Father’s Day golf gifts. I’ve put together a small list of fun stuff you can get dad. But if you are one of my offspring, don’t get them for me. I already have them!
Bridgestone Golf Balls & Beer – About $10
Bridgestone Golf has a great Father’s Day combination box which includes Michelob Ultra beer and some Bridgestone Golf e6 golf balls. In the link from the previous sentence, you can watch the video interview I conducted with my buddy Brandon from Bridgestone Golf, who explains what I affectionately call the “Free Beer” package.
Tattoo Golf Switchblade Divot Tool – $25
I can’t mention golf Father’s Day gifts without including one of my favorite companies, Tattoo Golf. I really love using my Tattoo Golf switchblade divot tool. The product is solid and works great, but of course the best part about it is the skull and golf club cross bones on the unit.
Kikkor Golf Tenny Clayburn Golf Tennies – $115
A very unique golf Father’s Day gift would be a pair of Kikkor Golf’s shoes. My review of the Kikkor Golf Tenny Clayburns covers these cool treads. Kikkors are very comfortable, perform surprisingly well, and bridge the gap between Vans and golf shoes.
Book – 101 Winning Golf Tips – $12.95
If you want to help out dad with his golf game, gear may not be the answer. Perhaps dad needs some tips on how to play the game. Golfweek’s 101 Winning Golf Tips covers almost every type of golf shot a player may encounter on the course, and how to execute it.
Hexcaliber Golf Ball Compression Measurement Device – For the dad who you thought had every golf gadget there was – $150
Think your dad has every golf gadget ever made? I’d be willing to bet he doesn’t have a Hexcaliber. The Hexcaliber checks the roundness, size and compression of golf balls. Now dad can see if the balls he fishes out of the lake on hole #7 are good or waterlogged.
Nike Machspeed Black Driver – $300
Money is no object for dad this year? Then I’d look into picking pops up a new driver. My Nike Machspeed Black Driver Review might influence your decision a bit. With extremely light components, dad can swing this club faster and gain more yards. With the completely adjustable club head, the club can be perfectly setup to match dad’s swing.
Frogger BrushPro – $19.95
I’m fairly sure I’ve included the Frogger Golf BrushPro in every Father’s Day gift guide I’ve posted. The BrushPro is perhaps THE most used golf accessory I have. I love this thing and it keeps my iron grooves nice and clean. I use the BrushPro before every iron shot. It is part of my pre-shot routine!
Gentleman’s Vice – $26
I covered the Gentleman’s Vice last year before Father’s Day and this unit is still a very original pick for a gift for dad. The Gentleman’s Vice is a combination cigar cutter and green repair tool with built in ball marker. The unit is very solid and comes with a nice carrying case.
Bushnell neo+ Pocket Golf GPS – $145
I haven’t reviewed this unit yet, but I really like the Bushnell neo+ mini golf GPS. No it isn’t a GPS for mini-golf, it is a miniature sized GPS for golf which fits easily in dad’s pocket or on his belt.
Loudmouth Golf Shorts
Summer is here and you want to stay cool and look cool. I definitely look cool in my Loudmouth Golf Hot Dog (on a stick or with a stick) golf shorts. They’re very comfortable and help keep me cool on the course, in more ways than one.
HOGWire – Golf Industry News
Great list of items Tony!
I love the LoudMouth Golf Shorts, but I don’t think I can pull that look off. Anyway, I like and want the 101 Winning Golf Tips and I am bookmarking this page and throwing the Father’s Day hint later today! Thanks for the idea!
The LoudMouth Golf Short looks very funny 😀 I wouldn’t be catch dead wearing that 😀 but I believe the Bridgestone Golf Balls & Beer is a perfect Father’s day gift thanks
