QwowiGolf’s 2009 Father’s Day Gift Guide
Over the next couple weeks I’ll be rolling out a handful of reviews of golf products; each and every one of which I think would make a totally awesome father’s day gift. The stuff in this year’s guide is so cool it almost makes me wish I had a couple of ungrateful kids of my very own. Of course, I should mention that, while I think everything on this list would make a perfect gift for that golfing dad (or grad) in your life, there’s absolutely no reason why any of these golf goodies wouldn’t make a nice gift for that other special someone; you.
Check back often as new stuff will be added every few days. I’ve gone out of my way to make sure there’s a good mix of the affordable (under $20), the high-end ($300) and some stuff in between. Keep in mind, this isn’t some quick little list full of marketing garbage information. I’ve personally thoroughly tested (although you’ll see the word “tested” does leave some room for interpretation) all of the items in this guide, and they wouldn’t be here if I didn’t think they were good enough for dad.
PUMA Swing Crown GTX
What: High-performance, ultra-light, turf grabbing spikes with classic PUMA style. Seriously sexy golf shoes.
Why: The lightest, most comfortable golf shoe I’ve worn; EVER! Doesn’t dad deserve the ultimate in comfort and style? Hell yeah he does!
Cleatskins Golf Shoe Protectors
What: Slip-on protection for your golf spikes.
Why: Dad will never forget his shoes if they’re already on his feet. Golfskins can also increase the life of your spikes and help keep grass, dirt, and other golf course ingredients out of your car and home.
Columbia Windcheater Full Zip Jacket
What: Super lightweight and comfortable wind & rain jacket.
Why: Help dad stay dry on the golf course. The Columbia Windcheater is remarkably lightweight, but even more remarkable is the way water beads and rolls off the jacket.
A Bottle of Faldo Wine
What: A bottle of wine from the Australian winery of famed Brittish golfer, Nick Flado
Why: Your golfing dad will love the link between one of his favorite drinks and one of golf’s all-time greats. Faldo wine is the perfect way to celebrate a great round, or to help forget a bad one.
