Every father who plays golf appreciates a golf-related gift on his special day. Here a few that attracted our attention and may be just what you are looking for to put a smile on Dad’s face June 17.
For years Chase 54 has been a staple in my wardrobe and the latest Unit polo is right at the top of my wish list. It is made from a breathable pinhole mesh material and Chase 54’s DryFuze fabric that pulls moisture away from the skin. Bottom line, Dad will stay dry and comfortable even in the heat of summer with a fashionable look he will love. Priced at $69, you can see the Unit polo and all the other Chase 54 apparel at Chase54.com.
Purchasing any golf club for Dad is a wonderful idea but ensuring that club is the right one to fit his swing is a difficult if not impossible task without some help. That help is readily available, and the problem easily solved with a gift certificate from the premier club fitters Club Champion. Certificates in different amounts are available online at ClubChampionGolf.com in different amounts and there are 32 locations nationwide with five more opening soon.
A round of golf can be loads of fun or excruciating because of a poor golf swing and particularly if Dad’s shoes aren’t comfortable. ECCO is big on solving at least the second problem and their latest is the BIOM Hybrid 3 golf shoe, a great combination of fit, comfort and performance. The outsole is the new three zone Tri-Fi-Grip design and the Hybrid 3 has the famous GOR-TEX waterproofing. The uppers are Yak leather for breathability and there lots of color combinations with BOA lacing as an option. Retailing for $200 at ECCOUSA.com.
Galvin Green always offers a spectrum of practical and fashionable apparel and added to their line for 2018 is the Interface-1 hybrid shell layer collection. Contrary to what some Dads will tell you, it does rain on the golf course and these latest Galvin Green pieces are soft and lightweight for durable weather protection. Each is windproof, water repellant and extremely breathable plus they look good. See all the styles and colors at GalvinGreen.com.
The gift of golf balls to Dad beats another tie—after all who wears ties any more—and TaylorMade has just the ones for Dad, their Project (a) ball for recreational players. When you order two dozen ($34.99 each) they throw in a free 6-pack with classic sayings or “Dad-isms,” the things most every father has said more than once. “Go Ask Your Mother,” “Back in My Day” and “Put Your Phone Down.” All the details are on TaylorMadeGolf.com.
Probably the piece of on-course equipment every Dad will appreciate is a laser rangefinder and the TecTecTec VPRO500 is a great choice. It has all the features he needs at an unbeatable price of $149.99 for the standard model or $179.99 for the slope model. Lightweight and water resistant there are three scanning modes that provide an accurate yardage in most any situation. The carrying case is included and details of both models plus a hassle-free online purchase are at US.TecTecTec.com
