GolfWRX Father’s Day gift guide

Dad deserves the best. That’s why we’ve put our heads together and come up with six Father’s Day gifts that are sure to keep him smiling until next Father’s Day. Skip the tie, and get Dad on of these cool gifts that will make him the envy of his Sunday foursome.

Adidas Samba Golf Shoes

Adidas is bringing new meaning to the term “foot wedge” with its new Samba Golf shoe. The company’s legendary soccer shoe is now available in golf form, complete with a high traction outsole and spikes that will give Dad firm footing from any lie. It’s a great way for Dad to show off his soccer spirit on the course. Even if Dad’s not a soccer fan, this extremely comfortable classic looks great with pants and shorts, and is available in enough colors to match any outfit. Click here for the Adidas Golf footwear site, where limited edition styles are currently on sale.  Price: $100 to $120.

Back 9 Varsity Headcovers

Dad may or may not remember the days of Arnie’s Army, but regardless, retro is in – especially with golf head covers.  Back 9 creates some of the best retro-styled head covers around.  Their Legend Series has many colors and styles to choose from, including the new Legend Varsity Collection (pictured). They’re available in several attractive color combinations including blue, black, green and red. Unlike the ones Arnie used, they’re ultra-soft with plenty of padding.  And for a few extra dollars, you can have them monogrammed (up to 15 characters). Price : About $30 each. back9usa.com

Callaway upro mx+ GPS

Callaway is jumping back into the GPS arena with the long-awaited upro mx+, an updated device with all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a GPS.  If Dad is a technophile, this is the device for him. Its strongest feature is the ProMode, which will give a realistic aerial look at a hole using actual photography. Accurate yardage to hazards and other on-course targets are also calculated. It’s very lightweight and uses a slick touch-screen interface. In testing, the on course experience for us has been great.  We particularly like the simple, one-handed operation. From Callaway Golf: http://www.callawayuxplore.com/upro

Matrix Shotmate One Touch Mini GPS

Think a typical GPS is too complicated for dad?  You may want to consider the Matrix Shotmate.  With virtually no learning curve, Dad can master it in just a few clicks.  Attach the tiny device to your hat, belt or bag and click the button.  The Shotmate knows what hole you’re playing and responds with the yardage to the center of the green (there’s a Meters mode, too). Click the button again and you can enter “tracking mode”, which will allow you to track distance on your last shot.  In practice, it works very well.  It can really speed up a round, since there are not screens to look at and not confusing functions to learn. Best of all, perhaps, is the $150 price tag.  From Matrix: http://www.shotmategps.com/

PING Nome 405 Adjustable Length Belly Putter 

If Dad needs help with his putting, a belly putter might be a good place to start. Belly putters anchor the putter to the body, removing certain variables that make it easier for some golfers to hole the crucial they need to beat their buddies. If Dad’s belly has gotten bigger in recent years, you don’t need to worry about what length might fit him. PING has created an adjustable belly putter that conforms to USGA rules and easily transitions from 37.5 inches to 46.5 inches, a range that will fit nearly every golfer. It’s available for $299.99 at Golfsmith.

TaylorMade ATV Wedges

Buying wedges for a golfer can be tricky. Things like bounce angle, loft, camber and sole relief complicate the process. But TaylorMade believes they’ve made the process much simpler with its ATV wedge – a club the company claims lets golfers play any shot from any lie. In testing, we’ve found that the 56 to 64 degree lofts truly shine around the greens. Give Dad a gift he’s be able to enjoy every time he tees it up. ATV wedges retail for $119, and can be purchased through TaylorMade’s website, http://taylormadegolf.com/TaylorMade/ATV-Wedge/DW-JN785,default,pd.html.

GolfWRX’s Father’s Day Gift Guide (2026)

Published

on

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.

As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.

Let’s get to the gifts.

Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo

We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.

Buy here.

STR8-Strip Grip Tape Remover

If your dad is an equipment aficionado and tinkers with his clubs, this tool works wonders. Removing grip tape has never been easier, just put a little head on the tape and the STR8-Strip peals it right off the shaft without any damage.

Buy here.

Why Golf: Putting Thing

When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green. This also provides some competition for your kiddo to see who will unload the dishwasher or do the next chore around the house.

Buy here.

OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes

Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!

Buy here.

Therabody Theragun Relief

A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.

World Cup golf apparel

Something for the soccer dads. Embrace the World Cup fever this summer on the course with custom gear to support the nation of your choice.

FootJoy Pro SL spikeless golf shoes

Give the old man a break and save his feet with the Footjoy Pro SL Men’s Spikeless Golf Shoes for some added comfort on the course.

Bushnell Wingman 2 GPS speaker

Combine all the hits as well as some game improvement with the Wingman 2 Golf GPS Speaker by getting audible distance readings from 38,000+ courses worldwide through the Wingman 2 remote or speaker.

Personalized Titleist Pro V1 golf balls

The No. 1 ball in golf is a safe bet, and the Pro V1 fits the largest chunk of the bell curve if you don’t know what ball pops plays. Add personalization for a, well, personal touch!
