GIFTS FOR DAD: Our Best Picks for the Perfect Father’s Day Gift

Father’s Day really snuck up on us this year.  With the buzz created by the 2019 PGA Championship and Koepka’s record performance (winning 4 out of the 8 last majors he’s competed in), it was hard to remember that Father’s Day was barely a month away.

Fortunately, Golficity’s got your back in case you’re still scrambling for something to give Dad, no matter what’s in your budget.

Gifts Under $100

Custom Titleist Golf Balls

Coming hot off Mike & Frank’s Titleist ball fitting (Podcast Episode 273 Here and YouTube Video of the Fitting Here), it’s evident that every golfer can benefit from the clear performance advantage that Titleist golf balls provide.  No matter whether Dad’s an AVX, ProV1 or ProV1x player, every golfer appreciates a fresh box of Titleist pearls.

And in case you want to go the extra step, make sure to check out Titleist’s personalization service to personalize his favorite ball with a creative message or something he’ll get a kick out of.

Callaway SWING TECH Apparel

Every golfer can benefit from a few new bits of clothes.  Fortunately, Callaway Apparel’s SWING TECH Collection not only features tons of great looking polos, pullovers and shorts, but they’re also uniquely designed to allow you to maximize swing speed and move with minimum restraint.  I was really impressed with how incredibly comfortably everything from the SWING TECH Collection was, and with Callaway Apparel’s recent release of the Big & Tall variants, everybody has the opportunity to play with some of the best looking, feeling and performing golf clothes on the market.

Stitch Golf

Every golfer appreciates a little bag swag, and one of the easiest ways to change things up is ditching the OEM headcovers.  Freshen up Dad’s bag and give him something to show off to his playing partners with some high quality and unique Stitch Golf headcovers.  No matter whether Dad’s a more conservative guy or prefers something a little loud, prefers a traditional knit headcover or a leather with a cool pattern or just wants to shield his clubs from the alignment sticks in his bag, Stitch has something for every dad.

And if Dad’s already decked out with some great headcovers, also make sure to check out Stitch’s other great stuff, including their golf bags, shoe bags, travel bags, apparel and other accessories.

PuttOUT Training Devices

As much as we all want to carry it 300 yards off the tee, at the end of the day, you drive for show and putt for dough.  As a result, it’s much more realistic (and valuable) for an amateur golfer to really develop and hone in their flat stick to help avoid the dreaded three putt.

The PuttOUT Pressure Putt Trainer is, arguably, the best putting training aid out there.  With the Perfect Putt Micro-Target enabled, the Pressure Putt Trainer not only teaches golfers to master speed control, but it does so in an addictive manner.

But PuttOUT’s not done.  In fact, if you want to become a Flat Stick Wizard, the PuttOUT Pro Golf Putting Mat—which allows golfers to work on putts ranging up to 7 feet—and the Mirror System—which allows you to work on alignment and positioning with the help of a reflective base, magnetic putter guides and a stand-alone 2 inch putting gate—and PuttOUT will have you walking it in like Kevin Na.

Gifts from $100 to $250

Shot Scope v2 Stat Tracking Watch with GPS

In the field of golf tech, shot tracking systems are leading the way.  Indeed, the Shot Scope v2 not only provides golfers with GPS distances to hazards and the pin, it also records every shot in the background (after installing in just minutes).  Once Dad’s done with his round, he can upload the data to the Shot Scope dashboard to confirm his score and review where he’s missing and/or dropping shots, develop a practice plan to attack his weaknesses and, ultimately, shave a few strokes off his handicap before the end of the 2019 season.

In addition, the Shot Scope v2 can be used anywhere in the world, which is great since vacation rounds are a great way to pick up some medals and increase his chances of winning some prizes after he enters the Golficity Leaderboard Code: GICITY.

TRUE Linkswear Shoes

There’s a good chance Dad’s been rocking his golf shoes for so long that there’s a few missing spikes, one of the laces are torn and/or the inside might be growing mold.  Do him a favor and help him enjoy peak golf season by treating him to a pair of TRUE Linkswear’s. Regardless of whether you want to arm Dad with a pair of waterproof shoes, like the Originals, or something super lightweight that he can wear in the summer or just while casually walking around, like the Knits, TRUE has something for everybody and every scenario, even on and off the course.

Chippo

Cornhole.  Horseshoes.  Kan Jam. Paddle Board.  Doesn’t matter, none of these are the ultimate beach, tailgate and/or backyard golfer game.  Chippo takes the best aspects of all these games and allows you to practice your short game in a fun way that even non-golfers will be begging to pick up a wedge and dunk their next shot.

Gifts Over $250

Titleist TS Driver

With the recent release of the ultra-light TS1 driver, Titleist now has a driver for every golfer in the Titleist Speed Project lineup.  Making everything better is that you can check out Titleist’s website for Titleist Thursdays and make sure Dad gets fit for the TS driver that helps keep the ball in the fairway and booms it past his playing partners.

TITLEIST TS2 & TS3 DRIVER FITTING

The new Titleist TS2 and TS3 drivers are officially here and these bad boys are all about SPEED! So, this week Frank and Mike head back to the Titleist Regional Fitting Center at Sleepy Hollow Country Club to meet up with master club fitter Kevin Sprecher for a full TS Driver workup.

Garmin Approach G80

In the event your dad has a new set of clubs, with some awesome headcovers, plenty of golf balls and some great looking clothes, we have the 2019 “Hail Mary” gift: the Garmin Approach G80.  What makes the G80 the “if all else fails” option is that we can bet that most dads don’t own a launch monitor.  And while Garmin is most well-known for its great GPS watches and handheld devices, the G80’s pièce de résistance is its integrated launch monitor—which can be used indoors and outdoors—that provides club head speed, ball speed, smash factor, swing tempo and estimated distance on the full-color 3.5” sunlight-readable touchscreen display.

Add in more than 41,000 detailed color golf course maps worldwide, Touch Targeting that provides you with distance to that intermediate spot and then the green, PlaysLike Distance that factors in slope and PinPointer that shows you the green’s location on blind shots, and Dad will be ready to take on any course around the world.
