Industry Releases Top 10 Father’s Day Golf Gift Ideas for 2012As Fathers Day approaches, the Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI), has released what could be a very useful “Fathers Day gift ideas” top 10 golf gifts list. The ASI is the largest media, marketing and education organization serving the promotional products industry. This year, to honor Father’s Day, the agency has focused on golf gift ideas.

“On Father’s Day, dads everywhere get crazy neckties, Greatest Dad coffee mugs and – if they’re really, really good – new and unusual golf accessories for that special day on the links,” said Timothy M. Andrews, president and chief executive officer of ASI. “Advertising specialties like the ones on this year’s ASI Top 10 list are easily branded by companies and charitable organizations to reward tournament winners and advertise a brand, club, group or greens. Everyone scores.”

Coming up with Father’s Day gift ideas is often a struggle, especially for the man who has everything. While many fathers enjoy golf, finding a unique and new golf gift idea is not always that easy after a few years.

Below are some of the best golf gifts that ASI has identified for Father’s Day gifts for 2012.

1. Golf bag, from King Par. A lightweight, multi-pocket golf bag with retractable legs is the perfect high-end gift for executives or as a prize for tournament winners.

2. Oversized umbrella, from Windbrella. Provides great coverage and features vents to prevent the wind from turning it inside out. Easily imprinted with a school or company logo.

3. Golf Cover keeper, from Eisinger Smith Inc. Ingenious design prevents this cover keeper from disappearing like a missing sock on laundry day.

4. Spotless swing 3-in-1 towel, from Pro Towels Etc. Comes with a carabiner so it easily attaches to any golf bag loop. Three surfaces: inside for muddy clubs, a grooved towel for irons and the outside surface for hands and faces.

5. Ball marker, from Tin Cup Products. Amateurs can make like the pros and use a similar felt-tipped marker and tin cup to mark their balls.

6. Hook/slice correcting ball, from Polara Golf. This clever golf ball can correct hooking/slicing tendencies by 75%, which means straighter drives from the tee box.

7. Divot tool set, from EMT. The switchblade-action divot repair tool comes in a gift tin and includes three ball markers that adhere via a magnet. Totally customizable.

8. Shot glass, from Crown Products. Made of food-grade silicone and will not break, even if it’s run over by a car. Turn over to reveal a dimple on the bottom that can be used as a golf tee.

9. Wristlok bracelet, from Fey Promotional Products Group. Perfect for golf outings, comes with removable tabs that can be used for a drink or to participate in contests like longest drive.

10. Cap with ball marker, from Headwear USA. Cap features a unique magnetized ball marker.

While some gifts listed are brand specific, your gift ideas for dad should not be limited. Use this list to help give you some good ideas for father’s day golf gifts and branch off from there.
