Written by Shelley Cain | Jun 8, 2020 9:12:00 AM

Father’s Day is around the corner, and there’s no better feeling than giving a heartfelt gift to someone you love. If you’re looking for some inspiration to help you find the perfect item, our team has curated a list of creative gift ideas for the guy who may be just as much of a golf nut as you are. 

As an added bonus, you can show even more love with purchases made at Smile.Amazon.com by designating Youth on Course as a benefiting charity through the AmazonSmile program.

.05% of your purchase will be donated to Youth on Course to help give the gift of affordable golf access to other young golfers across the country.

1.) A Subscription to The Golfer’s Journal

For the true golf fanatic, there’s nothing more coveted than an unabashed glimpse into the world of their favorite pastime. The Golfer’s Journal offers a quarterly print magazine which sheds a sophisticated light on golf’s culture, history, destinations and greatest players. A magazine subscription also includes discounts on golf merchandise and special invitations to exclusive TGJ events, so dad can do more than just read about what makes golf great, he can experience it too.

2.) An Indoor Putting Mat

Perfect for the living room, office and just about anywhere in between. Putt Out’s indoor putting green and pressure putt trainer gives golfers the chance to work on both alignment and distance control. As an added bonus, it rolls up into a small bag, so it won’t take up too much room, either.

4.) Skip the Sharpie with GolfDotz 

No more confusing his golf ball with another player’s. GolfDotz are high-resolution ink transfers that add unique designs to a golf ball. There are endless design options, so dad can add his initials, country flag, favorite animal or something with a bit more utility like putting alignment details to help make lining up his ball a breeze.

They’re used by professional golfers on the LPGA and PGA Tour, conform with all USGA and R&A Rules and are both durable and affordable.

5.) A Pocket-Sized Caddy :) 

GolfLogix is an app that can replace a GPS Rangefinder. The app even does the job of a caddy, offering three-dimensional green maps that reveal the contour lines on the green and how a golfer’s putt will break. Every shot and distance can be tracked during a round along with a player’s score - so dad can completely ditch his pencil which is bound to get lost anyways. 

GolfLogix subscriptions are $10 a month, or $50 for one year.

6.) Asher Golf’s Spring Collection Box 

Asher Golf believes that golfers across the globe should be able to enjoy the best the game has to offer, without having to sacrifice their wallet. Sound familiar? :) 

They offer high-quality golf gloves with plenty of personality, and their Spring Collection box delivers the same eye-catching, one-of-a-kind colors as each of their women’s and (coming soon!) junior lines.

7.) A Portable Speaker for His Golf Cart and Beyond 

For the music loving golf-dad, a portable speaker makes a great gift. It’s portable, durable and uses bluetooth technology which means he can tuck into his golf bag and take it along for his next golf outing, or just about anywhere else.

8.) Custom Metal Tabletop Frame

Pictures are always a nice way to commemorate your favorite moments with dad. This year, consider taking a unique spin on the traditional photo frame with a customizable table top aluminum photo print. It comes with a wooden base and its surface is scratch and fade resistant so your gift will stand the test of time. 

Check it out here!

9.) ShortPar4 Subscription 

Subscription box services have been all the rage and lucky for us, there’s now something special for golfers too. ShortPar4 makes it easy for golfers to discover new brands or rock the big names they love at an affordable price. Each month a stylist picks clothing and gear from brands like Puma, Callaway, UnderArmor and more. 

Membership is $49.95 a month, and gift card options are also available to contribute to a subscription. Which means this gift comes with great looks at an even better value.
