Father’s Day Gift Guide 2024: Best Golf Gifts For The Golfing Dad
13.05.2024 - 13:13 / forbes.com
Prime golf season is just kicking off, and if your Dad plays, Father’s Day shopping just got a lot easier.
But there’s one important rule—don’t buy clubs. I’ve been writing about golf gear and travel for more than 25 years, and while there is always a hot new driver, I rarely recommend buying hardware as a gift, because golfers are very particular, and in addition to brand and style preferences, chances are good that you don’t actually know what stiffness shaft Dad uses or whether he has custom length, loft, lie or his favorite style of grip. If you absolutely feel compelled to gift Dad a new driver or putter, get him a gift certificate and let him pick. But if you want to give something more personal, these are the Best Golf Accessories you can get Dad for Father’s Day this year, and this list is researched, curated and only includes items I can personally vouch for and recommend.
If Dad loves great steak, seafood or cooking, see my Mail Order Gourmet Gift Guide here at Forbes, and if he is an active traveler—including golf—check out my Best Luggage for the Active Dad gift guide.
In golf it is hard enough to execute what you want to do, but many amateurs compound this by hitting shots without really knowing what it is they want to do. Dad might not always hit the ball the perfect distance, but his chances of success are better if he at least knows what the distance he needs is. That’s why I still use a laser rangefinder every time I play—in addition to GPS—and all the Tour pros and best players in the world do the same thing. Even the best GPS can’t tell where the flag is on what can be a huge green and when you want the precise distance, only laser will do. The best players in the world turn to Bushnell, which has long been the technology leader and Number One rangefinder brand on the PGA Tour. The new Bushnell Pro X3+ is their best model ever.
All of Bushnell’s better models can account for slope, adjusting the actual yardage to a “plays like” yardage due to uphill or downhill elevation change (this function can be turned off for tournament play). But the Pro X3+ goes further and accounts for wind speed and wind direction, often even more important than elevation. It locks onto flags more easily than other brands I’ve tried, thanks to Bushnell’s Pinseeker technology and Jolt confirmation. It’s fully waterproof (IPX7) for rainy days, has integrated magnetic mounting to keep it handy on the upright bar of the golf cart (and a case that clips onto the golf bag if Dad prefers walking), has a protective rubber housing to safeguard drops, and a range of 600+ yards—more than a golfer ever needs. It can connect with the Bushnell golf app, and uses a long life CR2 battery, which I have found much preferable
