Golfweek's 2025 Father's Day Gift Guide
Golfweek's 2025 Father's Day Gift Guide From stylish footwear to electronics, sweet-sippin' bourbon to cashmere sweaters and fitness trackers ... we know what Dads want. A few years ago, as my wife was trying to figure out what to get me for Father's Day, it occurred to her that I have been creating Father's Day and holiday gift guides for Golfweek for well over a decade, so if she needed an idea or two, those lists would probably be a good place look. As someone who writes about golf equipment and technology, I'm not against buying someone a golf club. However, I advocate custom fitting, and knowing exactly what a golfer needs can be tricky, which is why gift certificates to local golf specialty stores and pro shops are always a smart choice. In the list below, you will find plenty of things that golf-loving dads will enjoy, along with other products that most men would love to receive on the morning of June 15 before they settle in to watch the final round of the U.S. Open. Adidas Gazelle Spikeless golf shoes, $120 Combining the classic look of some of Adidas' most popular casual sneakers with a lugged outsole designed for golf, the Gazelle is perfect for relaxed days on the course that transition to extended hours at the 19th hole. Shop Adidas Gazelle spikeless golf shoes Blade and Bow Bourbon Whiskey, $50 A favorite of 2023 U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark, this bourbon smells fruity and starts with tastes of dried apricots and pears, then has a lingering finish of charred oak and spices. If Dad is looking for something refreshing after a hot 18 holes, try a Kentucky Caddie – Blade and Bow, peach iced tea, lemonade, and a sprig of mint. Shop Blade and Bow bourbon Bushnell A1-Slope laser rangefinger, $299.99 Bushnell makes the most-used laser rangefinders on just about every professional tour, and while the company makes more sophisticated models, you'd be hard pressed to find a smaller unit packed with all the features a golfer needs. The A1-Slope is accurate to within a yard from up to 350 yards away from a flag, has a powerful magnet so it can stick securely to a golf cart, is water-resistant, and provides actual yardages along with "plays like" distances. Shop Bushnell A-1 Slope laser rangefinder FootJoy HyperFlex golf shoes, $225 This new shoe blends sneaker styling with modern materials and a mixture of ground-grabbing traction elements and replaceable spikes.

And yes, you can walk around in the HyperBoot while it does all that. Shop Hyperice x Nike HyperBoot Johnnie-O 20th Anniversary Original 4-Button polo, $89 This is the shirt that John O'Donnell started the company with, a classic, 100% cotton polo with four buttons, a relaxed fit, vibrant colors, and the perfect blend of West Coast cool mixed with East Coast Prep.

Shop Lululemon ABC Slim-Fit golf pants Momentous Fuel Drink Mix, $29.95 Golfweek tried this energy drink mix at the PGA Merchandise Show and loved it. Sold in 15-serving jars, but we like the 10-package travel packs, which come in mango, strawberry lime and cherry berry flavors, because you can drop a few in your golf bag and then add the mixture to your water bottle on the course for a boost that isn't loaded with sugar. Shop Momentous Fuel drink mix Ping Hoofer Lite golf bag, $245 Year after year, Ping's Hoofer remains one of the best-made golf bags in the business.

Canada ex-PM Justin Trudeau turns heads with ‘funky' Adidas Gazelle shoes at King Charles' historic speech
Justin Trudeau certainly made a memorable entrance at the recent royal proceedings in Ottawa. The former Canadian Prime Minister attended King Charles III's historic Speech from the Throne not in traditional formal footwear, but rather in eye-catching turquoise and orange Adidas Gazelle trainers—an unexpected twist that quickly became the talk of the event. While trainers might be perfectly acceptable in casual or informal settings, their presence in the Senate chamber—especially during a ceremony graced by royalty—was decidedly unconventional. Trudeau's footwear choice sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with some questioning the appropriateness of his relaxed style in such a formal context. Britain's King Charles III speaks with Former Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau as he attends the State Opening of the Parliament of Canada, in Ottawa, Canada Yet, while Justin Trudeau's shoes dominated headlines, the real focus was King Charles III and Queen Camilla's significant two-day visit to Canada—the King's first since ascending the throne in 2022. At 76, and undergoing cancer treatment, Charles' decision to travel to Ottawa was widely interpreted as a powerful gesture of solidarity during a period of political tension. The visit followed a series of controversial remarks by US President Donald Trump, who suggested that Canada might one day become the 51st state of the United States—a notion firmly rejected by Canadian officials. Prime Minister Mark Carney extended the invitation to King Charles to open Canada's 45th session of Parliament, making the monarch the first to do so since Queen Elizabeth II in 1977. Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney stands next to Britain's King Charles III after the King delivered speech from the throne in the Senate in Ottawa, Ontario, Carney has been clear in his message: 'Canada is not for sale now, not for sale ever.' This sentiment was echoed by Canada's envoy to the UK, Ralph Goodale, who described the King's visit as a reaffirmation of Canada's sovereignty and strength. During his address, King Charles highlighted Canada's resilience and independence, declaring, 'The true north is indeed strong and free.' His speech, delivered in the Senate chamber, began with a land acknowledgement and emphasised the country's unique identity and enduring sovereignty—subtle yet pointed reminders of Canada's stance amid international pressures. King Charles III smiles as he arrives at the Senate Chamber for the State Opening of Parliament during an official visit to Canada King Charles' heartfelt words resonated with many Canadians. 'Every time I come to Canada … a little more of Canada seeps into my bloodstream, and from there straight to my heart,' he said. The King also held private meetings with Carney and Governor General Mary Simon, underscoring his role as head of state for Canada and 14 other Commonwealth realms. Back to Justin Trudeau's footwear: British Vogue recently praised the Adidas Gazelle as a timeless classic, noting its '70s-inspired design and understated style. In an April 2024 feature titled 'Why Our Obsession With Adidas Gazelles Shows No Sign of Fading,' fashion writer Joy Montgomery called the shoe a 'fashion trainer' with lasting appeal. However, such casual chic does not always align with royal protocol. Social media users were quick to comment. One tweeted, 'Justin Trudeau's shoes, today, at Parliament! Also in Parliament today – King Charles,' while another joked, 'Retirement runners perhaps..?' Dimitris Soudas, former communications director for Stephen Harper, expressed his bewilderment simply with, 'I don't know what to say.' Canada's former Prime Ministers Stephen Harper and Justin Trudeau speak next to Margaret Trudeau ahead of Britain's King Charles delivering the speech from the throne in the Senate in Ottawa As the ceremony unfolded, Justin Trudeau was seen deep in animated conversation with Stephen Harper, his longtime political rival. Though the topic of their exchange remains unknown, their lively gestures suggested a spirited discussion. In the end, while the royal visit reaffirmed Canada's sovereignty and international standing, it was Trudeau's bold fashion statement that ensured the event captured headlines far beyond the Senate chamber.

Trudeau turns heads with odd fashion choice at King Charles' historic speech
If diplomacy is theater, Justin Trudeau walked onstage in costume to greet royalty. The former Canadian prime minister made a head-turning entrance at Tuesday's regal proceedings in Ottawa, attending King Charles III's historic Speech from the Throne, not in the expected leather brogues or polished Oxfords but rather in a pair of turquoise and orange Adidas Gazelles. A sartorial choice that might fly in more casual settings, perhaps less so in the Senate chamber, especially when royalty are in the room. While Trudeau made headlines for his choice of footwear, King Charles III and Queen Camilla were in Canada for a significant two-day visit, his first since becoming monarch in 2022. The king, 76, is currently undergoing cancer treatment and has kept a limited schedule, but the decision to travel to Ottawa was widely seen as a symbolic gesture of support for Canada during a time of tension. 6 Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's shoe choice was critiqued online following his attendance at King Charles III's historic Speech from the Throne in Ottawa. via REUTERS 6 Trudeau wore a pair of turquoise and orange Adidas Gazelles. via REUTERS The visit follows repeated comments by President Donald Trump suggesting that Canada could become the 51st state of the United States, remarks that were publicly rejected by Canadian leaders.

While the ceremonial aspects of the visit drew attention, the event reinforced Canada's current position on the world stage and the role of the monarchy in reinforcing that status. Fashion-wise, Trudeau's sneakers were at least en vogue, literally.

'Every time I come to Canada … a little more of Canada seeps into my bloodstream, and from there straight to my heart,' he said. Meanwhile, Trudeau found himself seated next to Harper, his old political rival, and the two were seen in animated conversation, hands flying. It is unknown what they were discussing. To quote a different king, 'Well, you can do anything, but stay off of my blue suede shoes.'
