Just
for
dad
C
hances
are
your
dad
was
one
of
your
first
golf
partners,
and
maybe
the
per-
son
who
introduced
you
to
the
game.
If
you're
lucky,
you
still
play
a
regular
round
with
pops.
Given
all
that
he
has
given
you
when
it
comes
to
golf
–
not
to
mention
all
the
other
parental
chores
he
has
dutifully
per-
formed
over
the
years
–
it
seems
appropriate
when
shopping
for
the
perfect
Father's
Day
gift
to
seek
out
the
best
in
golf
equipment,
apparel
and
accessories.
While
a
dozen
balls
or
a
new
golf
shirt
might
be
obvious
choices,
Josh
Tully,
the
Ecommerce
Manager
for
Worldwide
Golf
Shops,
offered
some
other
unique
suggestions
for
a
memorable
Father's
Day.
Most
of
the
products
are
available
at
your
local
World-
wide
Golf
Shops
retailers,
but
Tully
pointed
out
that
the
company's
website
has
the
widest
variety,
including
some
items
that
may
not
be
carried
in
every
store.

to dad's ears
Technology becomes more and more
ubiquitous in our daily lives, and the golf
course is no exception. Golfers have bene-
fited greatly from improvements in GPS
units and rangefinders, not to the mention
launch monitors that measure every aspect
of one's swing and have made game im-
provement so much more accessible to the
average player. If pops perhaps enjoys a few
tunes to accompany his round, Worldwide
Golf Shops offers a selection of portable
bluetooth cart speakers. "The extreme 18
speakers have been pretty popular – they're
durable and water resistant, and feature up
to 15 hours of play time. Plus they fit easily
into a golf cart cup holder or can be clipped
onto your bag," Tully said.

Planning a golf buddies trip with
dad? If you and your dad want to have
the best experience, you'll eschew
rental cubs in favor of bringing
your own sets along for the jour-
ney. And of course you'll want to
protect them so they're in great
shape when you arrive at your
destination. There are plenty of
options for travel bags and
travel covers, from hard-sided
to heavily padded and those
with wheels to lightweight
cases for easy carrying
through airports. The op-
tions have improved
greatly in the last handful
of years, with a focus on
protection, durability
and ease of use. "ogio
has some really great
travel bags on the mar-
ket right now," Tully
said.
