In Product Reviews by Rob Spellman

Father’s Day 2018

Lamkin Grips – From $7.99

Lamkin has always been known for great grips but in 2018 they launched a slew of new innovations.  We’ve had a chance to try them all and still have a hard settling on a favorite.  The new TS1, SONAR, and Comfort PLUS grips feature Lamkin’s latest innovations designed to optimize performance, comfort and durability while benefiting from unique characteristics appealing to a wide range of players.  If Dad hasn’t had his clubs regripped in the past year, new grips from Lamkin would make the perfect gift.

Craftsman Golf – From $9.99

Craftsman Golf is based in China but has a flair for producing great headcovers geared towards the American golfer.  I’ve been using a set of their Stars and Stripes headcover set for the past several months and have gotten a ton of compliments.  After several months of use, I can stand behind the quality and durability of the headcovers.  With prices starting at $9.99 you won’t find a better bargain this Father’s Day.  If Dad is a Marvel fan, right now you can get an amazing deal on their American Shield headcovers.

Uther Golf – From $17.99

Uther Golf is a great story about a Canadian golfer named Daniel Erdman.  David is a self-proclaimed golf nerd from Toronto.  He started Uther Golf with the hopes of creating a premium towel that would set the precedent for all golf towels that followed.  His fresh designs are a breath of fresh air and the high-quality towels are made to stand the test of time.  With a generous selection of cool designs, you’re sure to find a towel that’s just right for Dad!

Wilson Golf Duo Soft Optix – From $19.99

Last year Volvik dominated the golf ball market when they introduced the world to the first matte finish golf ball.  Golfers around the world fell in love with Vivid, so much so that Volvik struggled to keep the shelves stocked.  Entering 2018, Wilson took their very successful line of Duo Soft golf balls and created the Optix line which features a matte finish.  In our opinion, the Wilson Duo Optix outperforms the Vivid, all while being more than $10 less than the competition.  Give Dad a dozen Wilson Duo Soft Optix this Father’s Day and add a little color to his game!

Dune Jewelry – From $25

Want to get Dad a sentimental gift that won’t break the bank?  A custom gift from Dune Jewelry won’t break the bank but it’s sure to melt Dad’s heart.  Dune Jewelry offers several functional golf pieces such as custom divot tools and ball makers.  The sentimental part comes in when they add sand or grass from Dad’s favorite golf course or special location.  Starting at $25 you’ll be able to give Dad a handmade piece he’ll cherish forever.

Tyson Lamb Crafted – From $28

Tyson Lamb is more known for his putters, ball markers, and divot tools than t-shirts but chances are you wouldn’t be able to pick any of those up for Dad this Father’s Day.  Lamb Crafted can’t make enough putters and accessories to keep up with demand.  However, you can get Dad a t-shirt!  Featuring some of the cooler designs on the market, if Dad likes to stand out from the crowd Tyson’s “Not Made In China” t-shirt will do the trick, get em while you can.

Seamus Golf – From $29

What says Happy’s Father’s Day more than a unique hand forged ball marker?  Seamus Golf based out of Oregon features artisans handcrafting uniquely original accesories that adorn a golfer’s lifestyle.  You’ll find great designs to choose from and several options for customization, make his Father’s Day special with a piece from Seamus Golf.

Mission Belt – From $29.95

Mission Belt is the first item to make our Father’s Day Guide 2 years in a row.  I got my first mission belt back in January of 2017 and still find myself wearing it 9 out of 10 times when I go play golf.  It’s a great company with an even better mission, thus the name.  However, it’s all about the product!  Hands down my Mission Belt is the best belt I’ve ever owned, no matter if I’ve lost a few pounds or heaven forbid put on a few extra pounds, either way, I always get a perfect fit with the Mission ratcheting system.   Starting at $29.95 you would be hard-pressed to find a more functional gift for Father’s Day that Dad will enjoy on and off the course.

Under Armour Tuned Sun Glasses – From $99.99

Who doesn’t love a good pair of sunglasses?  This year we found several great glasses that work on and off the course.  Starting at $99.99 the UA glasses are the most economical of the choices on this year’s list.  The UA Tuned Lenses provide Dad with advanced color definition allowing him to read the course more precisely and to easily identify and track the ball while in the air.

PEAKVISION – From $130.00

Under new ownership, PEAKVISION has reentered the market stronger than ever.  PEAKVISION sunglasses come in a variety of styles including the AV1, which can provide Dad with the classic aviator look that’s perfect on or off the golf course.  Even Jack Nicklaus only trusts PEAKVISION to protect his eyes from harmful ultra-violet rays.  If Dad loves that aviator look, then PEAKVISION is the only way to go.

Oakley Prizm Golf – From $153.00

Rounding out our group of sunglasses for Dad this year are the Oakley Flak Draft with Prizm lenses.  Oakley Prizm is a revolutionary lens technology, grounded in decades of research that has turned eyewear into essential sports equipment.  If Dad loves that classic sports look to his shades, Oakley is the answer.  Available in two golf specific lens options: Prizm Golf and Prizm Dark Golf; either lens will help improve Dad’s performance.

FootJoy Tour S – From $249.99

This year if Daddy needs a new pair of golf shoes, you won’t find a better option than the all-new FootJoy Tour S.  Building upon their repetition as the best shoe manufacturer in golf, FootJoy doesn’t disappoint with the all-new Tour S.  Style, Comfort, and Performance come together to make this the best golf shoe on the market.  Trust us, Dad will love a pair!

Bushnell Hybrid – From $399.99

Just when we think Bushnell can’t top themselves, they roll out another great product.  The new Bushnell Hybrid Laser Rangefinder and GPS gives Dad all the information he could ever want about that next shot.  If Dad doesn’t already have a rangefinder this will be the perfect gift!

Wilson C300 Irons – From $799.99

Now, I know what you’re going to say, “Wilson Golf?”.  No really, I’m speaking from first-hand experience, these new Wilson C300 irons are the real deal.  Since the PGA Show back in January, these have been in the bag, they replaced my set of TaylorMade M2 irons.  I’m hitting the ball cleaner than ever and couldn’t be happier with the performance of these irons.  If it’s time for a new set of irons, Dad will love the look and feel of the C300 irons from Wilson Golf.
