BOSTON – Golf is more popular than ever right now. And with the U.S. Open final round falling on June 20th – Father’s Day – golf will definitely be on the minds of dads around the country. Meaning you can become the favorite child when you give your father the gift of golf.
RAIN GEAR – Galway Bay
If your father dreams of traveling to play in Ireland, Scotland or at Bandon Dunes, he’s going to want to bring quality rain gear. Galway Bay’s (galwaybaygolf.com) premium rain jacket and true-to-size rain pants have been named “Best Rain Gear” for two straight years by MyGolfSpy’s panel of reviewers.
The brand’s rainwear stands apart in the industry with lightweight, breathable fabrics that allow golfers to stretch and move freely while staying warm and dry. New for 2021, Galway Bay has improved on its ultra-waterproof Hydro-Flex 32 fabric, making it lighter and stretchier for better freedom of movement. Designed by expert tailors and using 100-percent waterproof/breathable materials, Galway Bay’s outerwear feature a softer, quieter fabric than typical rain gear and rubberized waterproof zippers.
Galway Bay’s All-Weather Pants are available in standard fit, as well as a tailored waist and inseam fit with a more fashion-forward, tapered leg. They feature belt loops, a seven-inch zipper and nine-inch-deep pockets. Designed to look like and be worn as golf slacks – eliminating the need to dress in layers – they optimize comfort, fit and style like no other rain pant ever has.

GOLF TRAINING AIDS – Swing Align
Let’s face it. The gift every golfer wants is lower scores. With the Swing Align training aid, a more “connected” swing from a proper set-up position is achievable as is a more stable and powerful move through the ball.
Swing Align was designed to help golfers set up square and hit shots solidly by providing a strong visual indicator they can use to line up square to their intended target. The device uses muscle memory to develop a repeatable golf swing with more power and accuracy by keeping their arms and body synchronized when rotating.
On Swing Align’s website, you’ll find seasonal offers and instructional tips from Golf Digest Top Young Teacher Devan Bonebrake who says Swing Align is the best device he’s seen for improving Alignment, Connection and Rotation, three of the most important elements that contribute to good impact.
Swing Align Goal Post
If you want to give you dad the gift of consistent putting, then Swing Align Goal Post is a simple-yet-effective and compact learning device. It attaches easily to most putter heads, to supply instant feedback on the quality of each stroke as your father develops consistent aim, alignment, path and a square face at impact. The Goal Post rewards a square putter face and center-face contact. If the putter face is open or closed, the ball contacts the posts on the takeaway or return stroke and veers off-line, providing immediate and correctable feedback.
To make aiming the face even easier, the adjustable alignment rod attachment hovers above the ball and face of the putter. The combination of three aiming lines (the center alignment rod and the heel and toe posts) will maximize your dad’s vernier acuity — his ability to easily see when multiple line segments become even the slightest bit misaligned. Aiming his putter face square to his intended target line was never easier.
