Father’s Day will be here before you know it. But finding the perfect gift can be a little daunting. If your dad is a golfer and has a passion for the course, we are here to help. There is no better time than Father’s Day to give your Dad a memorable gift for the sport he loves. Plus, with the 111th US Open at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland there is plenty of golf inspiration and excitement to last into the holiday weekend.
First of all, fashion on the course is a must! Color coordination is everywhere this year. If your dad is like my own, his wardrobe may be a few decades or months behind the trend. Forget about the oversized mercerized cotton polo and double-pleated khakis, dressing down for golf is no longer the passable attire. The technology available in most fabrics today allows golfers to play to their full swing potential without constraint and stay cool longer in breathable, more comfortable clothing. Just be sure to review the sizing guides provided, because each vendor is different and some styles nowadays are pre-shrunk for instant wear and gratification.
Puma Golf Apparel is a great resource for new fresh colors. They don't have to be bright effeminate colors like pink or orange. But the more color the better. Get your dad out of his comfort zone and try a little something new, slightly bold that you would like to wear. Check out professional golfers' outfit scripts like
Rickie Fowler this weekend at the 2011 US Open. He has a colorful flare for daring fashion statements but for fun, more stylish than the average player.
In Adidas Golf Apparel, belts, hats and other small clothing accessories are very popular. The good news about the
Trophy 2.0 Belt, you can easily change your Adidas buckle to a multitude of colors available. Don't just take our word for it,
read what others had to say about 'em too.
