Father's Day Gift Ideas
June 2012
Father’s Day can be a special day for golfers. We all have fathers, after all,
and many of us learned the game from dear ol’ dad. Or maybe you are dear
ol’ dad and are passing your passion for golf on to your children. Golf gifts
on Father’s Day can be something really big (rangefinder, new golf bag);
something simple (a day on the course, new golf shirt);
or something small (a golf App or ball marker). No
matter the size or expense, all types can carry special
meaning. Take a look a few of the gift ideas we found
and check them out online or at your local golf retailer
and make this a great Father’s Day for your dad.

SkyGolf - SkyCaddie SGXw
SkyGolf, maker of SkyCaddie, the #1 Rangefinder in Golf, introduces the next
generation SkyCaddie – the new Wi-Fi-enabled SkyCaddie SGXw. With its new
wireless capabilities, the new SkyCaddie SGXw provides the convenience of “on
the go” access to the most accurate and up-to-date course maps in the game while
eliminating the known issues with courses preloaded in other rangefinders. Preloaded
courses are “out of date” before the device is sold and can be risky and unreliable.
The SkyCaddie SGXw connects wirelessly to SkyGolf’s vast library of precision
courses via Wi-Fi at home, the office, the golf course or hotspot for fast, easy course
downloads. For wireless access “on the go,” the SGXw can even utilize
many smartphones to gain Internet access as a “personal hotspot.”
Only SkyCaddie mappers walk every course using
sub-meter, survey grade equipment to record
critical distances to hazards, layups and green
targets for the most complete and reliable distance
information available to amateurs. A Tour Caddie
would never trust distances derived from aerial
images or flyover and neither should you.
Creating a fun and easy way to comply with
the USGA Rules of Golf to mark your ball just
got a whole lot easier. Tin Cup Products Golf
Ball Marking Stencil allows a golfer to create
a personalized ball mark by tracing the logo or
design of their choice with a fine-point Sharpie
pen. The patented, 100% made-in-the-USA
stainless steel cup stencil comes in nearly 100
existing designs, including the “Father’s Day
Special,” which is a great way to celebrate
dad. Other best-selling models include the
Jolly Roger (skull and cross bones), Luck
of the Irish (shamrock) and Five O’Clock
Somewhere (martini glass), as well as the
dozens of collegiate and patriotic designs.

Every year the equipment editors at Golf Digest Magazine publish a “Hot List” of the best
of the best golf gear. For the 2012 Golf Bag Hot List, the editors received 65 entrants from
which they granted 20 awards. Two of the Gold Award bags are the Sun Mountain KG:2
carry bag and the C-130 cart bag.
Doesn’t Dad deserve the best this Father’s Day? If so, you can’t go wrong with a new
golf bag. If “Dad” is a walker – the new for 2012 KG:2 is an excellent choice offering all
that golfers have come to appreciate about Sun Mountain lightweight stand bags plus
more -- more pockets, more hand-holds and more style. KG:2 features a four-way top
with full-length club dividers, three integrated top handles and a new lift-assist pocket
handle, eight pockets (including a new
mobile phone specific pocket), and a
cart-friendly bottom.
If Dad is a cart golfer than the C-130 is perfect for him. Golf Digest says “Every feature
on the cart bag is practical and always in the right place.” Maybe that’s why the C-130 has
been Sun Mountain’s most popular cart bag for the last five years.
