More on buying for the golf dad
Golf is the category where novelty gear does the most damage. A serious player reads a comedy headcover as a statement about how seriously you take the thing he takes seriously, and he plays weekly, so it is not a small part of his life.
The safe ground is consumables and accessories rather than equipment. Balls, gloves, tees and towels get used up and replaced. Clubs are fitted to a swing and chosen after a session on a launch monitor, so buying one as a surprise is genuinely difficult even with a large budget.

Nobody plans a gift in advance because nobody remembers the date until it is too late to post anything. We will email you before Father’s Day and before Christmas, with the shortlist already narrowed and the delivery window still open.
