The post 5 golf gifts I’ve asked my kids to get me for Father’s Day appeared first on Golf.

Unlike my father, who never touched a golf club and didn’t think his progeny might want to either, I tried to get my kids into the game. Mission un-accomplished. Both are grown and neither plays. But I love them anyway, and I think the feeling is mutual.

In that spirit, I’ve drawn up a list of 5 golfy items they might consider giving me for Father’s Day.

Sun Mountain Pathfinder PX4 Push Cart

Sun Mountain Pathfinder PX4 Push Cart

An update of the Pathfinder 4, the PX4 has many of the same winning features, plus several updates. Like the Pathfinder 4, the PX4 folds/unfolds in two easy steps and has built-in storage. The new single-piece handle allows the cart to be pushed with one hand and the updated console tray has dual-umbrella attachments. The two front wheels extend to accommodate larger bags (a 5mm Allen wrench can make this adjustment). This cart includes a drink holder. Details: All-new accessory console holds balls, tees, cell phone, scorecard, etc. For additional storage, the cart has a mesh basket and a velour-lined valuables pouch. Dual umbrella holders allow an umbrella to be placed on either side of the console. Bags are secured to the cart with adjustable length bungee cords. E-Z Latch System allows the cart to fold in two easy steps. Extendable axles on the front wheels to accommodate larger bags. Weight : 17.2 lbs Wheels : 4

With age comes wisdom. Or at least an understanding of one’s limits. Though I’m still capable of lugging my own bag, I feel better — and play better — when I wheel my clubs around. This fresh update of the Pathfinder does its job without calling attention to itself. It’s lightweight, easy-folding and furnished with all kinds of helpful extras, including a new console for balls, scorecard, cell phone and such. It also has a single-piece handle that allows you to push and steer effortlessly with one hand.

Over the years, I’ve developed what I think of as a decent short game, the Darwinian result of missing tons of greens. Recently, though, my chipping hit a setback when my trusty 56-degree wedge went missing. My old wedge was a Vokey. I loved its look and feel. This latest iteration has a similarly sleek profile, along with deeper spin-milled grooves. Each one is 5 percent larger by volume, so they’re easier to clean and more effective at imparting spin. They’re also heat-treated, which makes them longer-lasting. Of course, that only helps if you don’t lose the club.

It’s been estimated that 1 to 3 billion golf balls go missing around the world each year. Because I plan to keep contributing to the count, I could always use replenishments. Pro V1s have long been my preference, and these days, you can get them personalized. Though I’d never want to print my name on golf balls — why leave evidence of my ineptitude in streams and woods wherever I play?  — I like the idea of a cheeky phrase. Dad Bod Distance. Warning-Track Power. World’s Best Dad and Worst Golfer. My kids can choose.

Cliché? Maybe. But socks are a Father’s Day staple for a reason. Simple and affordable, they’re essential items on and off the course, so much a part of life that we take them for granted until we run out of our last good pair. Del Campo’s are made out of breathable fabric, with a cushioned heel and toe for comfort and an athletic fit. I like the version with a smiley-face logo, but they also come emblazoned with an American flag, just in time for July 4th. What more could you ask for in a Father’s Day stocking stuffer?

Don’t fret if you still can’t decide on what to buy your dad, father-in-law or husband for Father’s Day. If they happen to be a golfer — even an occasional one — we have you covered.

While there are some things I certainly am not qualified to do — don’t ask me to change the oil of your car — as a dad, golfer and golf writer, I feel supremely confident I’m a good source to write this piece. Below are five items I actually want for Father’s Day, all of which any golf-loving dad would be thrilled to receive as well.

Golf Travel Bag

I’m still lugging around the same golf travel bag I’ve had for years and am in need of a major upgrade. Although what’s great about investing in a quality travel case for golf clubs is that it’s something you rarely need to replace. Club Glove is one of the most respected brands in this space, and this one even comes with a handy stiff arm, an additional line of defense to keep clubs safe when they get stashed under airplanes.

Club Glove Train Reaction System (TRS) Club Traveler 2025 Golf Travel Bag

The Club Traveler is a standard-sized, lightweight golf travel case, that will stand up to the rigors of airline travel. Formerly known as the “College” Traveler, this premium, padded and collapsible golf travel bag is equipped with a padded clubhead area, scratch-resistant interior lining, and shock-absorbing wheelbase to keep your clubs safe during transit. Arrive at your next destination with confidence.

Golf Balls

Golfers always need golf balls, so you can’t go wrong here. These are the ones I typically buy — I like the feel, price point and the Triple-Track Technology — but there are tons to pick from. If you are unsure what golf balls they use, a good rule of thumb (usually) is that the better they are, the more likely they are to buy a more expensive ball.

Callaway E•R•C Soft Triple Track Golf Balls

Our Longest Ball with Soft Feel Features & Benefits: More Ball Speed & Soft Feel: Engineered with our Hyper Elastic SoftFast™ Core, optimized for faster driver speeds while maintaining a softer core for enhanced greenside feel. Hybrid Cover for Exceptional Feel, Control, and Spin + Long Distance: The softer multi-material construction maximizes distance while providing outstanding feel and short game control. Grip Urethane Coating for Increased Greenside Spin: A specially designed coating system with high-elongation paint enhances control and spin for improved performance around the greens. High-Speed Mantle for Enhanced Ball Speed and Control: The advanced mantle layer creates more efficient energy transfer, offering increased greenside wedge spin and greater distance. TRUVIS® Technology for Increased Focus and Visibility: The Truvis pattern is specifically designed to maximize visibility and improve focus during play.

Rangefinder

Rangefinders are a golfer’s best friend, which is ironic because we often leave our best friends behind. I’ve lost several rangefinders over the years, mostly due to leaving them in carts when I’m done with rounds. I like this Blue Tees model because I’ve owned one before and was happy with it, but also because it’s at a great price point that won’t break the bank. Even better, it’s currently 26 percent off the original price, meaning you can get it for under $200. Even if the person you are buying for happens to already have a rangefinder, they won’t hate the idea of having a spare, just in case.

Launch Monitor

This is more on the expensive end and best for a golfer who dedicates a little more time to their game than the weekend warrior, but a launch monitor can be a really helpful (and fun) item for golfers trying to get better. While pros might spend $14,000 on Trackmans to carry from one tournament to the next, there are several smaller, less expensive items that can fit in golf bags. These gadgets are handy because while we might think we can hit our 7-irons 170 yards or so on the driving range, that might not always be the case. A trusty launch monitor can give you more accurate information.

Launch Master Launch Monitor – IZZO Golf GPS Unit

The Izzo Golf Swami Launch Master boasts advanced sensing capabilities, capturing both your swing and ball flight data with utmost precision, resulting in the most accurate readings and comprehensive swing data available. While other competitive models merely detect your swing data, the Swami Launch Master goes above and beyond by also sensing ball flight data for more comprehensive information. Experience unrivaled data accuracy when it comes to pivotal ball striking statistics, such as swing or club head speed, ball speed, carry/total distance, and smash factor. Moreover, this cutting-edge launch monitor comes equipped with a high-visibility LCD screen to display all shot stats with clarity and includes optional audible readouts. and the adjustable stand allows for optimal viewing angles. The Launch Master is compact and highly portible for use indoors with a hitting net or outdoors on the practice range. Includes hard shell carry case.

Chipping Net

There are two reasons I think this is kind of cool. One, it’s easy to set up and take down in the backyard and might actually get me to practice my chipping. And two, the different pockets to aim at might make for a fun game to get kids involved. Because you know the drill: the more kids want to play golf, the more we get to play golf.

The post 10 things I learned from playing golf with my dad appeared first on Golf.

With Father’s Day this weekend, it got me reminiscing about my time playing golf with my dad while growing up.

He was a really good player, and actually played on the PGA Tour for a summer — back when you could basically drive around and try to qualify each Monday. That summer, he actually qualified in seven out of 11 attempts, and had the chance to play courses like Pebble Beach, Riviera, and Harding Park.

After that summer of playing, he returned to Western New York to get into the car business, eventually settling down to run his own dealership in Geneva, N.Y., which is where I grew up.

We played a ton of golf together as I grew up, and having his guidance and support were amazing — and a big reason why my love for the game grew.

To celebrate Father’s Day, here are 10 things I learned from playing golf with my dad

My favorite dad moment on the course was playing in Ireland at Ballybunion, where I had a hole-in-one and he made about a 50-foot putt for a birdie. When he made that putt, it was like magic for both of us — and something I’ll never forget.

Since my dad I played so much golf together, I was able to learn a lot from him — and I’m sharing 10 of my favorite lessons below.

1. Quality time

Quality time on the course was certainly one of the benefits of playing so much golf with my dad growing up. He was quite an accomplished player, so just simply watching him play was a lesson in itself.

2. Understanding that hard work pays off

So much of golf reflects life, and one of the lessons I learned from my dad on and off the golf course was the value of hard work. He lived this in his professional career, and used that same mentality on the golf course, too.

My brother and I watched him work hard and put in the time to build his business, so this trait was instilled in both of us. It was a reminder that, even if you’re not the most talented at something, by outworking others, it can lead to great results.

3. Patience

I don’t think I ever saw my dad get mad on the golf course, and that’s really saying something — since we all know how frustrating golf can be. Having a front row seat to witness his calm demeanor was a great life lesson, and continues to help me practice patience in my own life each day.

4. The willingness to always help

My dad was always there for me whenever I needed him. If I was ever having trouble with my game, I could call him and he would be right there. Knowing that he’d be there gave me great confidence — both as a golfer and in regular life.

5. Learning that the short game matters

My dad was a great short game player and a fantastic putter. The course where we played had really tricky greens, so they were fast and undulated. I learned the value of a good short game and being a great putter, witnessing firsthand how dialed in his distance control was.

He rarely 3-putted, so watching him putt so well motivated me to put in extra work on this area of my own game.

6. The art of scrambling

Even when he missed a green, my dad’s approach wedges, chipping, and pitching were also really good. On the rare occasion that he’d get into trouble, and I’d think I could beat him on a hole, he’d always seem to scramble his way back to a par.

7. Building confidence in myself

There’s no question that one of the greatest lessons I learned from my dad was developing confidence in myself. He was the master of positive reinforcement and support — and since he believed in me, I needed to always believe in myself.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t get frustrated or doubt myself, but my channeling his support, I was able to dig myself out of tough situations.

8. How to play in bad weather

Most golfers only play when it’s sunny and warm out, but where I grew up, bad weather was a constant during golf season. I remember plenty of days when we got soaked from the rain and still kept playing — which forced me to be a good bad weather player.

Developing these skills helped me as I went to play in college at Furman, which allowed me to focus on the controllables and not worry about the weather if it wasn’t perfect out.

9. The world is a big stage

Even though I grew up in a small town, I’ve always followed in my dad’s footsteps and looked for adventure.

Not only did this lead me to Furman for college in South Carolina, but, upon graduation, I turned pro and played in events all over the world — such as South Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia, just to name a few.

10. Other sports help (and should be fun)

While my dad loved golf and got my brother and I into it, he was also supportive of us regardless of the sport we were playing. As an added bonus, my dad rarely missed many, if any, of our games or matches. He was there to cheer us on, and always encouraged us to do our best and just have fun.

PING Prodi G Junior Irons

Forgiving Irons A lower center of gravity generates more ball speed and gets the ball in the air easily. Efficient gapping ensures that juniors have an iron to cover every distance they face, and the 17-4 stainless steel heads are perimeter-weighted for extreme forgiveness. Lightweight Shaft & Grip Because Prodi G is engineered to fit a range of ages and abilities, Ping has optimized two shafts for length, weight and balance to match juniors’ varying swing speeds. They’re equipped with a light, 45-gram, Lamkin ST Junior grip.
