No matter what you choose, know that every golf gift on this list will help dad play better and longer and, of course, show him how much you care—about him and his game.
Inspired by the brand's classic tailored pants, these new performance shorts capture the same versatility and comfortable fit in one sleek design. The signature fabric delivers a lightweight feel and modern mobility, with a classic look and texture. Designed with an 8-inch length for all-day wear. (SPONSORED)
Lightweight, with the perfect amount of stretch, these soft, cotton-based jersey polos are designed with a distinctive herringbone weave that wears like a solid with a hint of texture that dad can take from the course to the clubhouse. (SPONSORED)
This small but mighty version of the classic "Roadie" hard-sided cooler still packs all dad's favorite essentials, cans and wine bottles, but in the brand's most portable design to date. It's your perfect companion on the golf cart, paddle board or kayak, plus it's convenient and lightweight enough to carry to the beach, dad's favorite fishing spot and more. (SPONSORED)
Winner of best new product at the PGA Merchandise Show, “The Caddie” is the first portable GPS golf tablet. The device is loaded with 45,000 courses worldwide. It boasts a built-in magnet and can keep track of dad’s advanced analytics all through his round. With the flyover feature, dad can see an entire hole before he even steps up to the tee box. Plus, he can keep score with the digital scorecard, track wagers with his friends and play built-in multiplayer games like Match Play, Wolf, Stableford and more. The Caddie automatically calculates everything at the end of the round, so dad can skip the math and focus on his game, allowing him to experience the course in a whole new way. (SPONSORED)
This bespoke putter makes for a handsome gift and addition to his golf bag. With a variety of true wood inlays to choose from—maple, tamarind and African blackwood, to name a few—it offers a softer feel for a more controlled contact. Due to the natural wooden artistry, no two putters, like no two golf dads, are alike.
Unlike other sunscreens on the market, this formula doesn't just dry sheer, it is sheer. Transparent from the sleek packaging to application, this makes for non-greasy, non-messy, non-sticky—but absolutely protective—sun care that's just as safe for lounging as it is for tirelessly hitting the range at high noon.
The always cool California-based brand is taking on the baggy golf pants trend with these fashion-forward, slightly oversized trousers made for the course—though they look just as impressive off the fairways. Available in this misty seafoam, as well as a windy blue, shell-dipped yellow and a snazzy all-over bird motif.
There's a lot to admire about this package deal offering a powerful speaker for tunes, vibes and audible data, as well as a detachable GPS (no phone or subscription required, we might add) that also functions as a remote. It's all magnetic for easy access, plus you can use the speaker to charge your phone. There's a golf, home and party mode—and a host of other features—in this sleek, weather-resistant design.
In addition to its suite of golf specific travel bags and accessories, Club Glove recently rolled out this designed-for-golfers-on-the-go tote to make adventuring seamless. The stylishly elevated backpack is complete with a laptop compartment, padded arms for comfort and military-grade durable nylon.
This ultra-lightweight polo is designed for all-day wear and comfort, made to move with your performance on the course and look pulled together off it. The stay-in-place collar adds a refined silhouette, and the bold floral, designed in collaboration with Akshay Bhatia, stands out on the greens.
While most golf bags are ambidextrous, designed to work just as well for right- and left-handed players, this "lefty" edition is specifically designed for the left-handed golfers in your crew, making sure all pockets and zippers are placed for easy left-handed access. And for the right-handed among us, don't fret, the signature design is still available in a slew of colors with all the same perks, just in reverse.
For a splash of summer all year round, this peppy golf towel is designed to safely and thoroughly keep clubs shiny, dry and clean so dad's style—and game—suffers no compromises. The birds of paradise are a sure thing for nature-loving dads, but in case that's not the way he rolls there are plenty of other prints to choose from.
Help dad recover more quickly so he can feel better sooner, resulting in longer and more comfortable time on the course. This pair of stimulating pads reduces pain, increases circulation, improves flexibility and soothes sore muscles. It's remote-control operated and works all over the body, so wherever dad needs relief most.
Seen on pros like David Duval, Padraig Harrington and Vijay Singh, the Japanese-crafted eyewear brand delivers feather-light frames with crystal-clear lenses in a variety of crisply cool styles including these bronze, rimless shades. They're prescription-compatible if that's what dad needs, and the conscientious design eliminates pesky pressure point or pressure headaches so dad can focus on his game.
An epic gift for any golf dad, this remote-controlled cart will propel dad's game into the future. He can use it as a bag caddie or push cart, and it can also serve as a snack cart—thanks to the hard-sided built-in cooler—summoned with the easy touch of a button. It even includes a speaker to keep the vibes going, making dad most popular among his foursome. And don't worry, the charge lasts well beyond a round, if not two.
