Have you got a golfing dad? Then here’s a few gift ideas to put a smile on his face and a little extra spark in his swing this Father’s Day:
Golf Balls and Tees
Every golfer, no matter how novice or accomplished at the sport will always need new golf balls and tees.
To make your gift a little more special, choose a brightly coloured set instead of the standard white or better yet, personalise the balls with a little message or doodle in permanent marker pen so he thinks of you every time he tees off.
Socks
Every dad expects at least one pair of socks on Father’s Day so get him a golfing pair! Leading golf brands like Footjoy and Nike produce ranges that are specifically designed to keep golfers’ feet fresh, dry and comfortable for the full 18.
Umbrella
An umbrella may be the last thing you’d consider buying in June but out on the course, a golfing umbrella is just as invaluable for getting some shade on sunny days as it is for taking shelter from unexpected downpours.
Golf Glove
If you’re unfamiliar with the sport then gloves might also seem like an unusual summer gift but a golfing glove (yes, just one!) is worn by players throughout the year to improve their grip and club control and prevent the hands from getting swing sores.
Polo-Shirt
Browse through any golf clothing store and you’ll find an overwhelming selection of polo-shirts on offer. Smart, comfortable and designed for golfers, these shirts will always make a great gift.
This year, blues, greys and bright colours are on trend, but for Father’s Day, get your dad a polo-shirt in green. It’s what all Master’s Champions wear so even if your dad only competes with his buddies, he can still feel like the king of the course.
Belt
Almost every golfer that graces the pro tour circuit wears a branded belt and there are hundreds available from the sports leading brands including Callaway, Galvin Green and Oakley. Whether your dad is a traditional or contemporary kind of chap, you’ll have no trouble finding the perfect golf belt for him.
Headwear
When golfing on sunny days, a good swing means nothing if the player can’t clearly see the flags and hazards on the course so help dad play his best by getting him a peaked hat.
Much like belts, there’s a wide range of tour caps and visors from the sports major brands like Under Armour, Adidas and Mizuno available.
Vouchers
If you’re still not sure what to get dad or think he’d prefer to choose his own golfwear and accessories, then get him a gift voucher. Online golf retailer, Function 18, sell an extensive selection of golfing apparel as well as vouchers ranging from £10 to £250.
Caddy
One of the greatest gifts you can give your dad is your time and if he’s a dedicated golfer, he’d probably love a chance to hang out with you at the course and teach you a thing or two about the game. Volunteer to be his caddy for Father’s Day and enjoy some quality time together.
