The 2014 Fathers Day Golf Gift Guide

Warning! There are only a few days left until Fathers Day! If you are like me you found the funny card already but the perfect gift still needs to be purchased. Ok, I need to be honest with myself, I have been procrastinating.

Every year I put together a Father's Day Gift Guide on the hottest selling golf products. This part of my job is a huge win/win. The research aids in my pursuit for the perfect gift for my dad. And in some respects is a giant hint for my kids.

If your dad is a golfer he should be thrilled with any of the gift ideas below. If you are not a golfer, I labeled them so you can use your dad idiosyncrasies to identify the perfect gift.

For any "Golfer Dad": Bushnell Tour Z6 Jolt

If you have golfed with your dad and he still paces off every shot then he might be in need of a range finder. If you dad has one that was purchased a few years back than it is time for an upgrade. The Bushnell Tour Z6 Jolt provides readings lightning fast (5x faster) and more accurate than before - down to a ½ a yard. A range finder will eliminate all the guess work out of golf yardages and speed up his game.

For the "Gadget Dad": GAME GOLF

If your dad is "Mr, Gadget" look no further. This will be right up his alley. GAME GOLF, which consists of a small, lightweight device worn on the player's belt and individual sensor tags that attach to the butt end cap of each club, records every shot played during a round of golf using GPS and motion sensing technology. By simply tapping the GAME GOLF sensor tag to the device worn on the waist, the GAME GOLF device automatically records course, location on the hole, club used and club distance. After the round, the golfer simply uploads the data via computer to GAMEGOLF.com for post-round analysis, which can also be viewed via a mobile app or web platform.
