Dads who golf can be surprisingly picky. Between the gear, the gadgets, and the endless talk about their short game, it’s no wonder choosing the right gift feels like navigating a bunker. If you’re hunting for a solid Father’s Day gift for a golf-loving dad, you’re already on the right course (pun intended).
There’s a vast range of clever, useful, and downright fun golf gifts out there—whether he’s into perfecting his swing or just chasing a good excuse to get outdoors. And with a whopping 3.8 million Aussies playing golf in some form last year, it’s clear this sport isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
⛳ Golf Gift Buying Tips for Dad
Not sure what to buy for your golf-obsessed dad? These tips will help you choose something practical, personal, and perfect for Father’s Day.
- Watch His Game (Or Listen for Clues)
Please pay attention to what gear he uses or complains about. If he’s mentioned a dodgy old putter or has his eye on a specific brand of golf balls, that’s your green light. - Prioritise Practical Over Gimmicky
Gifts he can use on the course tend to go down better than quirky novelties. Think items that suit his playing style, like gloves, balls, or gadgets that improve his game. - Add a Personal Touch
Personalised gifts feel extra special. Whether it’s his initials on a towel, a custom headcover, or a framed keepsake from a memorable round, the thought does count. - Look Beyond the Course
Golf doesn’t stop when he leaves the green. Golf-themed gifts like mugs, socks, books, or even a home putting mat can keep him smiling off the fairway, too. - Know His Size (Or Keep the Receipt)
When buying apparel, shoes, or gloves, ensure you have the correct size. And check that returns are easy, just in case he’s picky about fit.
