Best Gifts for the Dad Who Isn’t the Greatest Golfer

Best Gifts for the Dad Who Isn’t the Greatest Golfer

It’s one thing to love golf and another to be good at it. If your dad struggles with distance off the tee, three-putts most greens and/or posts double bogeys more frequently than pars, you came to the right place. These are the best Father’s Day gifts for the man who isn’t the greatest golfer but still loves the game. Here’s an added bonus: If you save him a few strokes, you’ll quickly move to “favorite kid” status. 

GrooveIt Brush

The GrooveIt club cleaning brush is a simple accessory that works really well. It has heavy-duty nylon bristles that clean grooves. If your dad takes a little extra grass and dirt when he hits his shots, the GrooveIt will clean things right up. 

Perfect Practice Roll-A-Putt Putting Mat

The Perfect Practice mats have been around for a while and are known for offering a professional-grade putting surface and quick and easy putting practice. The Roll-A-Pull model comes with a really simple roll-away base so it can be laid out while watching golf or working and then quickly put away.

The auto ball return makes practice easy and the track lines make it more effective.

TaylorMade Tour Response Golf Balls

Golfers who struggle go through a lot of golf balls. The TaylorMade Tour Response is not only a great value but it will also help your dad keep the ball a bit straighter. The soft feel and urethane cover also provide some additional greenside control. 

Don’t worry about distance with the Taylormade Tour Response. They took care of that with the high-energy core. It’s a great balance of distance, control and affordability. 

Rapsodo MLM2PRO

If your dad loves technology, the Rapsodo MLM2PRO is a portable launch monitor that offers real-time data on swing and ball flight.

Why is this a great Father’s Day gift? You may actually give your dad the motivation and data he needs to get better at golf! 

The MLM2PRO has an easy-to-use app and even allows for video playback.

PING G430 Hybrid

PING G430 Hybrid Review

The PING G430 hybrid was the most forgiving hybrid of 2023. It is high-launching and has fast ball speed and adjustability.

The hybrid is a go-to club for golfers who struggle because it can be used from the tee, on approach shots and from the rough with ease.

If your dad is still wrestling with that treacherous 3-iron, you’ll change their game with the PING G430 hybrid.

Garmin Approach S70

The Garmin Approach S70 is a golf GPS watch that can help your father with golf course management. The watch offers a high-resolution display, detailed course maps and precise distances.

The Garmin Approach S70 also offers fitness-tracking capabilities. The great thing about this watch is that your dad can choose how involved he wants to be with the data and tech available to him.

Barstool Sports The Dad Hat

This one deserved a spot on the list. A classic dad hat design with an adjustable strap. It’s Father’s Day, after all!

RLX Lightweight Printed Polo

Even when you don’t play well, it’s worth looking good on the course. The RLX Lightweight Printed Polo is made with a combination of recycled polyester and stretch material to make it really easy to swing.

It’s also a moisture-wicking polo so your dad will stay dry on the course. It’s available in a few colors and the golf tee motif is kind of fun.

It’s not your classic “dad shirt”—it’s more of a modern look that combines style and performance. 

Orange Whip Trainer

Whether used as a warm-up tool or to improve range of motion and flexibility, the Orange Whip Trainer encourages proper swing tempo and balance. It’s a very simple training aid that can help golfers of all swing levels build muscle memory and consistency.

Your dad can keep this one in his bag and “whip” it out when needed. Although it’s not guaranteed to take strokes off his game, it won’t hurt his swing. 

Bushnell Wingman View GPS Speaker

The Bushnell Wingman View GPS Speaker can help your dad’s golf game by providing accurate yardage to the front, middle and back of the green. However, the real benefit here is that the Bushnell is a fun accessory to have on the golf course. 

It has a built-in magnetic cart mount and impressive sound quality for playing music or even taking phone calls. The LCD screen is convenient for getting yardages but you can also set it up to give you audible distances, and you’ll get access to the Bushnell app. 

Therabody Theragun Mini

The Therabody Theragun Mini is a great tool for deep muscle treatment. It has three-speed options and QuietForce Technology to help ensure it’s not loud while being used. 

Muscle recovery and relaxation after a long struggle on the golf course are important. The Therabody Theragun Mini will help reduce soreness and that’s something any dad will appreciate! 

FootJoy Tour Alpha

The FootJoy Tour Alpha is our favorite 2024 golf shoe for stability. Golfers who may not be very good at the game tend to lack the stability that professionals have. The good news is that with the Tour Alpha, stability is taken care of for you.  

Your dad will also benefit from the great traction offered in the Tour Alpha. This spiked golf shoe is really built to help keep golfers confident on their feet. 

Final Thoughts

Golf is not just for good players. In fact, more dads are out there struggling on the course than dominating. Any gift on this list will be a hit this Father’s Day but don’t forget to schedule a tee time for you and dad to get a few holes in together if you can. That’s the gift he’ll likely appreciate the most.
