OT: Christmas gifts for dad

[uconnfan68]

Speaking as a Dad, nothing… spend it on your own kids, or your mother.

A new Taylor Made driver delivered on a golf cart with a full cooler driven by Halle Berry with her Co-pilot being Kate Upton.

Wrap it up!

Going away from the Taylor Made. Been using them for almost last 20 years.

Have PXG driver, 3 wood and driving iron on its way right now.

After many a Christmas together, Mrs Diesel and I set budgets and said just buy whatever you want for yourself.

I could probably swing the golf cart and Mrs Barry and Upton as long as Mrs Diesel gets to tip back a few with them too.

And @mauconnfan this 55 year old ordered some Mizuno tour golf balls for Christmas. Anybody try them?

To be left alone for like three days.

I’d take just one day, I’m not greedy.

Didn't even know Mizuno made golf balls. I''very been Srixon for about 5 years now. Currently using Q Star Tour.

Yeah, boss dad move. Tell the kids being more helpful for their mother is only gift you want.

Already have one and love it as I use it daily but I asked my daughter today to get me the bigger iron flask. Keeps ice frozen for 24+ hours.

55. Likes to do yard work, golf, play Cornhole, used to love the Celtics, likes to cook and make cocktails.

Sooo booze?

Take him to a UConn game and get awesome seats. As a dad on the Yard can’t think of a better gift than that.

You can either make or buy some kickass corn hole boards and bags. Get some high quality wood and UConn logos on them. And some good quality duck cloth bags.

Unlike me, this one never gets old.

Elvis looks like a 30 year old toddler with eyeliner on that cover.

Me too, but there was a terrible review of them in MyGolfSpy. Love how they putt though. Good with wedges too.

Latest try was Snell MTB. Gained a club or 2 in distance, but putting was iffy.

Let us know your thoughts on them. Haven’t played them yet.

No jealousy at all. Hes dead. Loosen up a bit, its not that serious.

Worry not, I was just kidding around. Happy holidays.

Same to you and yours.

I’m sure there are a lot of fathers here. Just looking for ideas on what to get my dad. What would be a good gift you guys would like? Thanks!

Having a daughter myself, how about a nice dinner with just the two of you

 

[willie99]

Dinner and a night with the kids

 

[HuskyHawk]

As a 55 year old that doesn't like yard work (who likes yard work?), and who doesn't like to cook, I wish I could be more help. On the cocktail front, is he pretty well set on glassware? Proper glasses are always nice. I just got some wine glasses for parents because we visited them and they were down to 4 of them, from a set that had 10-12.

 

[TerryBoyz]

If he likes to cook a good knife? I think there is a knife thread here.

We have to be real creative with my 80+ year old father who lives alone and has everything.

We've done carwash subscription, Netflix subscription, chromebook/e-reader, custom butcher block (linky): foot massager thingy, etc..

He's the type to just be happy with family around him.

Maybe one of those wifi picture frames where you can load up pictures to cycle through for him and add new pictures throughout the year?

I had tried the Cut and Vice and was thinking about the Snell when I tried the Srixon's. A sure fire show stopper for me is a golf ball that doesn't make a clean clicking sound when I putt it cleanly. Any sort of muffled sound or if it feels like mush is a definite no go.
