26 Golf Gifts for Dad He's Guaranteed to Love
These gift recommendations for golf-obsessed dads come straight from a golf-obsessed dad
Dads. You gotta love 'em. Sometimes, you also gotta help 'em. For golf-obsessed dads, that could mean helping them elevate their on-course style, making sure they always have enough balls to get through their Saturday round, giving them better tools to practice their game off the course, or simply equipping them with accessories that will make them think of you.
As a golf-obsessed dad myself, I hand-picked this list of the 25 best golf gifts for dads that he's sure to love.
Wiley X Founder Golf Sunglasses
The Founder sunglasses from Wiley X are a great gift for a few reasons. They don't move around on your face, which makes them ideal for the golf course. They're also lightweight and comfortable, so he'll love wearing them off the course as much as on it.
PUTTR Smart Putting Green
The PUTTR Smart Putting Green solves a bunch of problems dads face. First, it gives him the opportunity to practice on his own schedule. Second, it makes practice putting — which up to this point has always been exceptionally boring — exhilarating.
The PUTTR gamifies putting practice, using the built-in 80 frames-per-second camera and the PUTTR app to help him train the best putting stroke of his life. Compete against personal benchmarks, friends, or other PUTTR users globally in drills, challenges, tournaments, and 50-plus games. Think Peloton, but for putting.
Kid Caddie
For dads with young children, playing golf can quickly become a low priority. The Kid Caddie, however, makes golf accessible for parents with young kids. That's because the Kid Caddie turns your stroller into a push cart.
I recently took my 2-year-old for a 9-hole stroll using the Kid Caddy, giving my wife some much-needed quiet time, getting our little one outside, and working some bonus golf into my week. This is a gift for dad that will end up making everyone happy.

YETI Rambler 18 oz Bottle
For dads on the go, this 18 oz YETI Rambler is the perfect gift to help him stay hydrated on and off the golf course. It's the perfect size to fit in most cup holders, yet still holds enough liquid to get him from one water cooler to the next on the course. The vacuum insulated bottle, available in 30 different colors, keeps drinks cold and hot all day.
Bag Boy Nitron Push Cart
Sometimes dads with limited free time have to choose between excercizing and playing golf. That's where this Bag Boy Nitron auto-open push cart comes in. Did you know the average male can expect to burn more than 1,400 calories by walking 18 holes while using a push cart? That's some serious excercise, and the Nitron is the perfect sidekick. I've been using the Nitron this golf season and the auto-open (and close) feature could not be eaiser to use, it seriously takes less than two seconds to get it unfolded and ready to load up.
PXG Allan Putter
It remains to be seen whether the new category of zero torque putters will be a generational breakthrough, but it's sure shaping up to look that way. Rather than giving the new Allan putters either a face-balanced or toe-hang profile, PXG built these putters to stay square to the path of the putting stroke, regardless of the shape of that path, without any effort from the player.
In my early testing of the Allan putter, I noticed a boost of confidence from being able to select a line, then focus all my attention on speed while I stroke the putt.
Perfect Hands Golf Swing Speed Trainer
I gained 23 yards off the tee in just 8 weeks training with Perfect Hands
How do I know Perfect Hands Golf is a great gift for dads? First, because I am a dad, and second, because in just a few minutes per day, I gained 23 yards off the tee in just eight weeks training with Perfect Hands Golf.
Most dads with younger kids at home don't have the time to dedicate to improving their golf games. With Perfect Hands Golf, I can honestly say that anybody who can carve out 5-10 minutes a day can improve their game quickly and drastically.

Blue Tees Ringer Handheld GPS
The Ringer is a handled GPS from Blue Tees Golf, and it's perfect for golfers who don't want to reach for a rangefinder a few dozen times during their round, but still want accurate distances to the green and hazards. The Ringer also offers a host of other cool features, like a digital scorecard and stat-tracking and shot measuring.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, the Ringer is magnetic, so it easily and securely mounts to a golf cart or any magnetic mount (I use one to mount it to my push cart), so he'll never have to worry about pulling it out of his pocket during the round.

The Golf Father T-Shirt
Dads love puns, and this dads who golf will really appreciate this Godfather-themed Golf Father t-shirt.
Cigman CT-1000 Rangefinder
I love this Cigman CT-1000 rangefinder because it packs all the features of premium units but checks in at a budget price. You get a strong magnetic mount, slope-adjusted distances that can be toggled on or off, plus deadly-accurate measurments. I compared this rangefinder against one that costs about three-times as much, and from close to 200 yards, the measurments were consistenly within a yard of each other.

Shot Scope V5 GPS & Game-Tracking Watch
In my opinion, the Shot Scope 5V GPS watch is the best game-tracker available today
I do not play golf without a Shot Scope watch on my wrist, and in my opinion, the Shot Scope V5 is the best game-tracking device availalbe today. It seamlessly tracks and plots every shot on the course, and delivers a sea of digestable data. The best part is, unlike essentially every competitor, there are no subscription fees ever.

Ghost Golf Scottie Belt
Dads aren't known for nailing the fine details of their outfits, on or off the course, but nothing can help pull together the perfect outfit than finishing it off with the right belt.
