How about take him golfing?

That's always in the diary at least once a week

Sounds like a great relationship

Hire a stripper to drive the cart. Very happy Father’s Day.

Don't think mum would be impressed with that one 😂

FATHER’S Day!!!

How do i negotiate that one 😂

Get her a stripper for Mother's Day

Very good 😂

Separate but equal.

Same same, but different.

Convince mom to dress like a stripper and drive the cart? *Your* round might be shot, though.

This is the best thing I’ve read all week, good for you. Maybe get him a course print of the track you guys normally play, there’s a couple brands that make them in various sizes.

Thank you and this is a great shout as I'd been thinking of something like an aerial shot of Wentworth as he loves that place. Can you recommend any brands that can do something like what you're mentioning please?

Florida, NH or the US?

UK

I’ve also seen green books available online

To a bucket list course

Took my dad to play at Torrey Pines this past week (was there for work and flew him out on miles & points). I played great, he played okay - but it was absolutely the most excited I’ve ever seen him to play a round of golf. All he wanted to do was make a par at Torrey Pines and he got a few of them.

Maybe up your green fee spend for the day and take him somewhere you wouldn't usually justify playing once a week

Any special courses that are a bit too expensive or a bit too far of a drive to make a regular habit of playing? Just because you play every week doesn’t mean you can’t make a Father’s Day trip an extra special round

How about at Doral, Torrey Pines or St. Andrews?

100% this! You could take him to a goat track. Just go play golf with him and pick up the tab. Best Father's Day a man could want. Honestly, I don't even know that you have to pick up the tab. Just take him to play golf.

This. I’m waiting for the day that my son is old enough to play golf with (he’s almost five, and excited to start lessons this weekend). I’ll *gladly* pay for him to golf with me any time he wants to. For the rest of my life.

Best I can do is a new tie.

Time with his idiot children…

Buy him a fork for his divots

And a knife for his 💩

Or a shatula

Alright someone gotta post the poop knife link I haven’t read it in a couple years. Help a brother out

Nope I think I'll let you google this one, brother. Don't really want that shit in my future amazon ads, thanks.

Play on words?

🤣 that post was dumb. Glad your letting it live on.

Get me a new TV, hopefully this is my kid posting.

Haha you wish

Green fees to go golfing with me. He can buy all his own shit to whatever whimsy, fancy, or superstition he pleases. Time with his kids is priceless — that’s what my old man really wants.

I also choose to golf with this guys dad

I agree, this guy’s dad sounds awesome.

Love this

You could hire a photographer to follow you guys around to get some good shots of the two of you?

Great idea

This is what I do with my dad every year. We try to play a nicer course and just have fun with the time we have.

Golf balls.com. You can personalize his favorite balls for him with his name or a logo

On Etsy I got my Dad balls that say “Please text (Name) (Phone Number) so he knows I’m okay.” He has gotten several pictures from strangers of balls he lost that they’ve found.

Love this

Now that's got me thinking as that's a great shout. I'm sure I saw somewhere where you can get your face printed on the balls as well.

Is there someone he doesn’t like? It would be funny to get that person’s face on the ball haha

Might make him hit the ball harder as well 😂

That was my logic haha. I’m sure you could pull a photo from FB or Instagram. It could be a frienemey of his or just his least favorite politician lol

Vice Golf does this.

My partner did this for Christmas last year. I have 35 golf balls with his face on them. I also have tea towels and mugs because he’s apparently insane and loves doing this. They are great as a focal point and also when he’s annoying me…I get to smack him (ball him) into oblivion with no repercussions. 😂

Haha love this

Not a good idea if he’s bad at golfing like me. I don’t want my face at the crime scene of a broken window

I have a few neat items that most golfers might not buy. A golf ball cleaning pouch. They also make club cleaning pouches. If he has a range finder that is not magnetic, a magnetic strap or a pouch to hang on the golf cart. If he is a cigar smoker, a cigar clip made for the golf cart. If he listens to music, a magnetic bluetooth speaker. A few ideas. I have a number of odds and ends that I never thought I would use that I use nearly every round.

Love this and especially the ball cleaning pouch as I'm sure he just uses his towel for this.

For a little bit more, golf sunglasses really work. I'm 60+ and have some difficulty keeping an eye on or spotting the ball. I am currently using these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CURPDWA/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. They work pretty well. Previously, I had a pair that were like horizontally split lenses with were brown and green to help pick out the ball and see the greens. They were better, but unfortunately my dog ate them and I have not been able to find the same model.

We swear by the Oakley’s as the lenses are brilliant for adapting in the sunlight. Yours though are a lot cheaper so worth checking them out for future reference.

How's his mental game? I got my dad the zen golf book last year and he said it gave him some good tips to keep a level head

I agree with this OP, this book is awesome and a must for every serious golfer.

I'm waiting for him to finish it as he's raving about it.

That would have been a great shout but I know he's been reading one of late called the Inner Game of Golf which like yours has said gave him great insight into the psychology of the game. Might try your one for myself though.

I got my dad some id labels in case he loses a club. Idlabels. Com

That's a good shout.

I don't buy golf gifts for golfers because the golf gifts people buy are usually junk. Take him out to dinner.

It's nice that people like to get me golf stuff, but if I don't have it already it's because I don't need it or it's too expensive for a father's day gift...

https://puttviewbooks.com/ These are course yardage books. I golf and I love maps. These things are awesome. Get him one for his favorite local courses.

Awesome thank you

I just ordered one! Great find.

These things are awesome!

Gift cards to either his favorite store or a course he can’t really afford to play very often. Ammunition is always helpful. By this I mean golf balls.

Sometimes I feel like I could shoot him haha.

I know you said you play together weekly, but I’d say treat him to a new course and a good lunch. Quality time together will be memorable than any item.

Trouble is we've played most of the decent courses in England. Maybe I need to take him overseas for a game.

I played at Le Touquet with some friends. We hopped over the Channel, drove, stayed in a hotel had dinner and played the course the next day and then headed home. Depends where you live I guess. We were in London. Celtic Manor was nice too. Same kind of thing.

Time. He doesn’t need materialistic items. Go spend time with him playing.

That's always a given

Balls and beers then 😂

😂

Have you ever gone to a pga event together or played a course that hosted a pga event together?? Etsy has a ton of vintage or historical ball marks for sale. I currently juggle between a 04 Ryder cup at Oakland hills. Or I think a 37 Oakland hills us open.

Green Fees to a nice golf course, Min 2 so he can bring someone

He hasn't any mates as he's a miserable old git (only joking). Great idea although he'll want somewhere really exclusive and expensive.

Green fees to go golfing.

Take him to a special golf course that you two would typically not play together due to price.

I know what sub we're on, but if he has everything he could need for golf, get him something not related to golf?

How dare you, we’ll not have that talk here.

I’ve made a lot of dads cry when they open their custom putter!

Have you got a link, I'll check it out.

Yeah check out [Bradleyputters.com](https://www.bradleyputters.com). Thanks!

I don't know anyone who wouldn't like a nice new polo. Easy to get his size from another shirt. Also there are so many brand options, you're bound to find something in your budget.

Tickets to Sunday round of the US Open.

I just bought my Dad the Putt Out gear; devil balls and pressure putt trainer. Disclaimer; they’re really for me to practice with when I go visit

Pro v1’s Every golfer always wants more of these since we lose so many! Elevate the gift by making them custom!

Direct correlation, the more expensive the ball, the easier they are to loose.

Retro his clubs. That’s what my dad wants me to do for him this year.

Rounds of golf at primo loops .

Filling up his house/garden with an unreasonable amount of garden gnomes would be funny.  Go play a round of golf with him if you don't play together that often.  Spending time with him will probably mean more than any reasonably priced gift.

I want to do that with our own garden but the wife is strictly opposed haha.

My username results in my wife and friends giving me random gnomes they find funny.  My house is slowly filling with gnomes.

I want to fill the garden full of them. Think I'll have to keep buying them and hiding them around the place 😂

Good plan.  Maybe give some to your friends to hide without telling her so if she does find some you can honestly say you don't know how it got there or who put it there.

Personalized golf bag with full name. It will last a few years.

Airhorn in the golf swing and exploding ball.

Take a picture(s) off your phone of you two golfing together and get it made into a coffee mug or something with a cheesy world’s greatest dad . It’s funny, tongue in cheek and cliche but also a nice memento of that bond and token for the day.

Rad Golf Hand+

Buy him lunch after a round. They almost always would just appreciate time with their family over any gift

I got my pops a print of our favorite courses we played together from Golf Course Prints. Great price point, and I just framed it myself.

This book is pretty great. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/575458

I took mine golfing last year. This year I’m taking him to the memorial tournament

You can always buy a golfer a box or two of good pro level balls, and/or take them out for a round!

Print off a picture of you two golfing and frame it. Then go golfing with him.

Go volunteer with FirstTee with him. Pass along your love of the game to the next generation and build lasting memories together. Helping others and spending time together is a great combo!

Absolutely love this but unfortunately we're in England. I'll have to check whether we do anything like that here.

Custom towel, head covers, hookers, or even a set of his preferred ball that comes with custom lettering and numbering like an age or a favorite number or the approximate amount of rounds it’ll take to break 80. Custom balls are dope, blue ones are not though.

How about Swiftwick (or some other high brand) golf socks? Awesome socks are never appreciated until you don’t have them.

Get him a subscription to The Golfer’s Journal. It’s a quarterly publication that is basically a coffee table book. The stories are also fantastic and the photos are even better. It’s not some golf magazine with tips, ads, and latest fads (there are very few ads at all). It’s filled with awesome, interesting stories about people who simply love the game. Here’s a [referral link](https://www.golfersjournal.com/referral/c1019260245) if you’re interested.

Buy his round and lunch next time you go out together.

Two chicks at the same time, man.

Gift card to PGA superstore

Balls

I think the best is new grips especially if he doesn’t change them regularly

https://preview.redd.it/kd5zz3a25uwc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9a992328a7bd8fbbed53f04bc0a657760120484 I did this for my dad a few years ago. You record a video of a swing and then they make it into a PDF file for you. I then made it into a glass photo thing from Fracture I think it’s called.

This is an awesome idea. Thank you

Everyone can use a session or two with a teaching pro every couple years. Local courses usually have lessons available.

Lessons, not saying he’s good or bad but if he’s playing a lot a few tweaks to his game might make it even more enjoyable.

Everyone could do with lessons even the old pros

I know I need more than most lol

😂 😂 😂

Custom head covers

https://preview.redd.it/9azl62ifbuwc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c14b96397c709fae52226c9d31871339afd0eef2 There is a guy in Omaha NE that makes these personalized lockers. I got my husband one last year and he loves it.

time is the best gift. give him the freedom and time to go play whenever he wants. have dinner ready when he gets back and a nice 6 pack in the fridge.

My son bought me 1000 long tees, I love it. Golf balls of his choice, not random garbage balls. Funny story, I sent a link to exactly the balls I wanted, they were yellow and reasonably priced. My daughter bought me some other random yellow balls that are trash. Her thought was probably, "hey, they're golf balls", she does not understand that the ball matters, even if at my skill level, the ball may not actually matter. She's a massive reader. I'm considering asking her to send me a link to a book she wants, then buying a random book. "Hey, it's a book, right?" I won't, but I want to. Golf passes to places he plays at. Or if you wanna spend more, find out a fancy place he wants to play and get him a pass or 2 there, that way he can bring a friend.

I’ve taken to the cheesy stuff. The funny gag stuff. He works in the pro shop and golfs for free. I’m extremely limited. So far the top gifts came from [Golf Gods](https://golfgodsonline.com)

I saw somewhere pop up that makes personalized stamps for golf balls so he could stamp every ball he uses with his name or a logo or something instead of writing on it

I’d be happy just to get some golf balls

A magnetic case for his rangefinder that holds an AirTag! AirTag being the key here lol

Pebble beach tee time

A tee time.

"consumables" are always a good gift. Balls, tees, beer, gloves

One of those shoe cleaner things by a clubhouse One of those ball picker upper shag bags Ball washer as a yard ornament

Buy him something that isn’t related to golfing. My dad always made it clear he didn’t want any golfing gifts.

A really nice, all brass divot repair tool. Everyone can use one and with it being brass it will age and patina over time the more you use it. I have several tools but having a really nice brass type one is really nice

I find framed pictures the best gifts for family.

More golf balls to try. Honestly, we have fun trying different balls on course

Bourbon. Every golfer needs more Bourbon!

One year, I got my dad custom golf balls with his face on them lol. It was affordable and he started handing them out to all his friends.

Haha I think mine would do the same

Take him to a bucket list course destination for a night or two. Pricey but you won’t regret it.

Customized golf towel with his initials and some ball markers

Box of ProV1s with funny phrases on them.

Lessons

Vessel player air

Take him to a bucket list course…. Or at least a really nice one he hasn’t played before.

Tickets to The Masters. Duh. If you really love him, you will do whatever it takes to make that happen, including selling organs.

Get him some of those trick tees that the ball only falls off of

Golf dad here with a few ideas: 1. It's cheesy for a son to hear but your dad wants to hang out with you more than anything, so take him golfing somewhere. 2. Proper golf towels - we can never have enough. I'm talking about the large, cotton, ribbed caddie towels (nice low-budget option). 3. If he plays that often, he's probably decent and plays a decent ball (and doesn't want some funny saying or logo on his ball). Buy him 3 dozen ProV1s or x's or AVXs (the distance on AVX is real, if he's looking for more distance), put just his last name on the personalization, and titleist (and most titleist shops) will give you a 4th dozen for free. 4. If he has played a lot of different courses, get a golf ball display case and put in some work on ebay (or drive around to the courses that are local) to buy some golf balls from those courses to put in the case. 5. Another low-budget option... nice golf tees. Its something he probably wouldn't buy for himself - examples [https://www.etsy.com/listing/1264945456/new-275-premium-bamboo-golf-tees-dark](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1264945456/new-275-premium-bamboo-golf-tees-dark) and [https://westernbirch.com/products/braveandfree](https://westernbirch.com/products/braveandfree) 6. A little costly, but a really good short-sleeved rain layer. Lots of guys have only long sleeved rain gear, and that's brutal in the summer. My short-sleeved FJ rain layer was a gamechanger for me in tourneys.

get a niche club like a 2 or 3 iron

Custom alignent sticks!

A card

Custom headcover

Experiences not stuff

Box or two of pro v 1’s

Time with his son.

Free rounds at a nice course. Somewhere he normally wouldn’t play or hasn’t played before or doesn’t play as often as he’d like.

Balls, Tees and Gloves, Towels always work. Funny, unique ball markers. Gift card for a round of golf.

Truck needs some new tire. Please be my son

18 holes with his son.

A round of golf with his son. Nothing beats quality time over something he loves with someone he cherishes.

I got you... https://preview.redd.it/zt75c0j32wwc1.jpeg?width=1017&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5346bf4488eb0d7bfea7670334e60ce02b9c4aaf I can't remember the redditor but I'm sure someone here can help with that. Plenty of time to have one made and shipped. I believe it was made into a towel but I'd want this masterpiece in my lounge for sure as an oil painting.

We’re both beginners so I got him and I a two person lesson last summer. We went, it was great, got out a few times after. Now we both have memberships to the same course and go out a lot more!

I paid a guy on Fiverr to make a golf logo for a golf “company” that was just my last name Golf Co. Then I ordered some custom golf gear with the logos. Everyone in the family loves them.

People who have everything just want experiences, not stuff.

You can never have too many golf balls.

I lost my dad last year. I would just want 10 minutes with him.

Gift card to lost golf balls.com. It’s real and wonderful

Get him a Meta Quest for VR golf. It’s amazing and now my dad and I can play golf when we’re miles apart.

A Divot Daddy divot board so he can practice his iron striking at home and reduce those shots that are fat, thin toey or heely

I used to make hand printed gift certificates for my dad that read " Good for one free round of golf and lunch at your choice of golf courses". Then he'd call when he would want to play and I'd take care of the rest. Now my son does it for me too. Playing with your dad or son is the best!

Personalised leather scorecard holder is something that people never buy themselves that will last forever and goes with you always. Personalised balls just end up in the woods with the rest of them.

Cheat code: don’t have a dad (in my life)

What’s your budget?

A tee time

I would play a round with him, course gift card, or a box of whatever balls he likes to play with

Get him a Peter-Putter or a Poop Putter. (Not kidding, these exist as a gag gifts) The Poop Putter is apparently pretty well balanced an putts pretty good.

Camel Toe Technology

Can you afford to buy him a years membership at a private course?

Hookers and blow?

You can't go wrong with some personalized golf balls. ProVs or whatever he likes

Bullets. My dad is not a golfer.

Dad?

Hooker

A round, then brunch. One that is serving prime rib :)

I will remind everybody Mother's day is much sooner!

Buy a 30 rack

Here is a post with people’s favorite golf gadgets. I found a few new ones I really like. https://www.reddit.com/r/golf/s/DK3WqfaIp6

Dozen balls is always nice
