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. The ControlKnit+ strap on the side provides extra lateral support, while StratoFoam in the midsole provides extra cushioning. Shop FJ HyperFlex golf shoes HyperIce HyperBoot, $899 The collaboration between Nike and HyperIce was one of the stars of the 2025 PGA Merchandise Show because after you put the boots on, they provide a warming massage, promote circulation and enhance both your warm-up routine and cool down after exercise. 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 Johnnie-O original four-button golf polo Lululemon ABC Slim-Fit Golf Trouser, $109 Signing Min Woo Lee and Max Homa during the off-season proved that Lululemon is serious about making functional, smart-looking golf apparel for men. The ABC Slim-Fit Golf Trouser features stretch elastic panels on the waistband, water- and abrasion-resistant fabric, provides UV protection (SPF 40), and a slim, modern fit. 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. This model boasts a four-way top, nine pockets, and comes in loads of different colors and patterns. The zipper rangefinder pocket, padded and convertible shoulder straps, and cart strap panel are among the details that make this bag outstanding. Shop Ping Hoofer Lite golf bag Ralph Lauren Washable Cashmere Hooded Sweater, $348 Cashmere is not only luxurious, but also highly functional for golfers because it is so light, compressible, and warm, making it perfect for early-morning rounds or layered under a shell on rainy, cold days. This top will be as at home on the course as it will be in stylish lounges and restaurants. Shop Ralph Lauren Washable Cashmere hoodie SkyCaddie Pro X4 Golf GPS, $349 plus subscription The size of a smartphone, this GPS device features a 4-inch, full-color LCD touchscreen display, actively changes yardages to hazards, the green, and other course features, and takes advantage of SkyCaddie's 35,000 proprietary, verified course maps. The 18-hour battery life means the Pro X4 will last longer on the course than Dad. Shop SkyCaddie Pro 4x Ultimate Ears Miniroll speaker, $79.99 This Bluetooth speaker can pair with any smartphone and features a 12-hour battery life, making it ideal for the course. A rubber clasp on the back allows the Miniroll to be affixed to your golf bag or golf cart, and when there are more than one Minirolls in the area, PartyUp mode allows them to sync and play the same song. Shop Ultimate Ears Miniroll speaker Whoop 5.0, $199, $239 or $359 per year Worn by Rory McIlroy, Nelly Korda and scores of professional golfers, Whoop is the official fitness wearable of the PGA and LPGA tours. The new 5.0 strap has a battery that lasts up to 14 days while it continuously monitors your fitness, recovery and sleep patterns.

Styled By Niamh: Designer Doireann Healy on celeb clientele and her surprising greatest fear
Fashion designer Doireann Healy is quite the character. A native of County Kerry, Doireann lived in rural Kenmare until age five, but spent her formative years in the Cork Gaeltacht area. However, despite a childhood spent in the countryside and being surrounded by farms and fields as far as the eye could see, in adulthood Doireann developed a fear of a staple farmyard animal. Begley & Bowie sweater €120Adidas Gazelle sneakers €120 'I have a huge fear of cows,' Doireann laughed. 'I grew up in the countryside and I was never afraid of them until I read some articles in recent years about how dangerous they are and now they terrify me.' Fear of bovines aside, Doireann's immersion in nature was to prove her inspiration for her clothing brand Begley & Bowie – which is named after her two beloved pooches. Despite Begley & Bowie being a relative newcomer to the Irish fashion market, Doireann has amassed quite the faithful following and counts actress Amy Huberman and presenter Angela Scanlon among her celebrity clientele. Begley & Bowie Tily bomber jacket €315 Light grey flower slogan tee €42 'My pieces have been worn by Amy Huberman, who purchased at one of my first pop-up shops in Dublin,' says Doireann proudly. 'And Helen Cody, Muireann O'Connell, Triona McCarthy, Sabrina Hill, Nadia El Ferdaoussi and Emma Doran have all bought some of my pieces.' Doireann hails from a large family and when she was young she flitted between school in Cork and family time at her uncle's bar in Kenmare town. And despite developing her love of fashion design at college in Dublin, Doireann found herself returning to her old stomping ground of Kenmare – where she now sells her fashion brand just doors away from her uncle's pub in the picturesque town. 'I am from Kenmare as my mother was from here and she was from a large family of eight, so I have lots of cousins and family here,' she says. 'We moved not far over the border when I was five to the Cork Gaeltacht, where my dad was from, so all of my education was through Irish. We were over and back all of the time and I started working summers here in Kenmare at 16 and – voila – I'm still here.' From the Gaeltacht Doireann went to Dublin to study art and design and it was here she caught the fashion bug. 'I qualified in interior design, which I still love, but art and fashion were also huge loves of mine. 'I had always been drawing and illustrating since my early teens. I'm very into the visual and always have been since I was a child. Sweater and linen skirt both Begley & Bowie 'I studied screen printing in Dublin and worked with textiles including Irish linens in Belfast. I originally released those illustrations as art prints and then progressed to textiles. I now work with all types of textiles.' Like many fledgling designers Doireann was producing, selling and packaging her designs from her home – but Begley & Bowie quickly began to go global, so she decided that her brand needed a home of its own outside of her Kenmare pad. 'I opened my store in July 2021. The brand was selling worldwide and customers coming to Kenmare would message to see if I had a store – and I hadn't a base. 'At this stage I had a lot of Irish stockists too so I needed a space, and I found a premises that I loved and I opened the store the day before my collection launched in Brown Thomas Dublin.' The quirky, playful nature of Begley & Bowie combined with the eye-catching colour palette is what make Doireann's designs stand out in a very crowded clothing marketplace. 'I think because Begley & Bowie is full of colour and joy that my pieces suit every age. I design both children's and adult clothing and customers – particularly in Ireland – love colour. 'I also design a range of Irish linens with a neon pop, all made in Dublin, and they are very popular too particularly with US and French customers.' 'I tend to see colour everywhere and I notice colour combinations that work in everyday objects and places. 'I'm hugely into nature and I walk Reenagross here everyday in Kenmare and I feel like I see a different pop of colour every time. 'At the moment the purples of the rhododendron have filled the woods as they are in bloom and the contrast with the green is stunning.' Of her own style Doireann is a mix-and-match, splish-splash kind of dresser. Quirky, free spirited and blended beautifully with her bubbly personality. 'I'm very particular about clothing and my style. I love colour but nothing too chaotic or loud – just beautiful pops of colour,' she admits. 'I am also very into the quality of my pieces and I would rather purchase one good piece than a few that won't last or wash well. I love to mix styles too.' Summer Lovin' Adidas Gazelle sneakers €120 Summer is here – and that means free flowing skirts, daisy duke denim shorts, loose fitting tees and lots and lots and lots of colour. Summer should be the easiest time of the year to dress your best (there's no need to dither over whether it's a duffle or overcoat kind of day). It's easy-peasy summer breezy dressing of simply jumping into a skirt, shorts or linen trousers with summer sandals or scruffy sneakers and off you pop – looking like Little Miss Sunshine herself. Although that said, this is Ireland and while we have just enjoyed some unseasonably sun-filled weeks, rainy spells are upon us. So investing in a fun raincoat will not only add an extra dimension to your daywear it will also keep you dry and can be scrunched up and stuffed into a bag when the sun reappears. Stereo-Stripes The commonly held sartorial belief is that that vertical stripes are slimming while horizontal stripes can be unflatteringly fattening. However, to quote that dapper dresser himself Donald J Trump 'fake news, fake news'. The contrary is in fact true, and horizontal stripes are more flattering. And if you don't believe me, then trust the science… The stripes fashion myth was debunked back in 1925 by a German psychologist Hermann von Helmholtz. And hey, who wouldn't trust a guy called Hermann when it comes to fashion choices. Known as the Helmholtz illusion, Helmholtz's explanation of the illusion was that a filled out area looks longer than an unfilled area of the same size. So rock those horizontals – the more colourful the better – with pride. Say it with pride I am a sucker for slogan tees, though I actively steer clear from any slogan tees beating the 'be kind' or 'Save the planet' blah blah nonsense. I prefer instead to have my style say something with a bit more individuality and depth. These Begley & Bowie slogan tees are bright, bubbly and bespoke. Come GAA final season, ditch your county jersey for something with a bit more swag like a Begley & bowie county name tee. My other all-time favourite slogan tee website is Truffle Shuffle which have an eclectic range of 80's cartoons like The Care Bears – right up to today's hit movies like Lilo & Stitch. Jeepers Sneakers Big chunky platform trainers appear to have – pun intended – run their course. Instead, petite plimsoll sneakers are back en vogue. The slim sneakers are more ladylike and far less chunky and can add that girlie touch to any outfit. Erica Stoll, the wife of champion golfer Rory McIlroy, exemplified this type of style when she was course-side cheering on Rory when he won the Masters at Augusta. While Rory took home the green jacket, Erica's sartorial win was a simple, yet, standout pair of Golden Goose trainers. At €490, Erica's particular pair of runners are pricey but there is a vast range of affordable similar type runners to choose from like Doireann's pink Adidas Gazelles.

Wet Phones in Rice Can Be More of a Problem Than Solution
Summer is full of beach vacations and lounging near the pool. But if you drop your phone in some water, it could result in an expensive trip to a phone store. While many smartphones are water-resistant, that doesn't mean they're waterproof so it's still important to dry out your phone. Here are a few ways to get your phone dry after dropping it in water or getting it dirty, and hopefully these tips can help save you from having to buy a new phone. None of these methods are guaranteed to work, however, and while there's a lot of anecdotal evidence, there are very few scientific studies on the subject. The most recent study we could find was from 2014 by Gazelle, a company that buys and sells used and broken phones. According to that study, the make and model of phone were found to influence whether a phone could return to working order, with Android phones typically faring better than iPhones. Phone manufacturers agree that removing your phone from water as quickly as possible helps to minimize how much water comes into contact with your device. That means you have a better chance of saving your phone but don't put your phone in rice after removing it from water because that could damage it. Here's what you should do if you drop your phone in water. If you follow these instructions and your phone won't turn on, or it turns on and has some issues, you should take it to an associated phone shop to see if they can help. What Apple and Samsung recommend The two biggest phone manufacturers have some tips in case you drop your phone in water. Apple says that many iPhones are splash, water and dust resistant when tested in controlled lab environments, but these resistances aren't permanent. If your iPhone gets wet, it might display a warning that there's water in your phone's charging port. If you see this warning, or your iPhone comes into contact with water, lotions, soap or other potentially hazardous material, here's what Apple says to do: 1. After removing your iPhone from the material, turn it off and dry it with a soft, lint-free cloth. 2. Tap your phone gently with the charging port facing down to get excess water out of the port. 3. Place your iPhone in a dry area with good circulation and wait at least five hours. Pointing a fan at your iPhone's charging port might help the process. After five hours, try turning your iPhone back on and plugging it back in. If you're still having issues, you can try the other methods mentioned in this article, or you can take your phone to an Apple store for further assistance. Apple also says don't put your iPhone in rice. "Doing so could allow small particles of rice to damage your iPhone," the company writes online. Drop your smartphone in water? Don't has similar instructions for drying your phone: 1. Remove your phone from the water, turn it off and dry it off with a dry towel or a clean cloth. 2. Place your phone in a well-ventilated area or in the shade with cool air from a fan. Samsung doesn't specify a length of time to wait, though. Samsung says even after you've followed these steps that there might still be water inside your phone so you should bring it to a Samsung Electronics Service Center. Both manufacturers also say if you drop your phone in a liquid other than clean water -- like soda or pool water -- you should quickly rinse your phone using tap water before drying with a towel and then air drying. Apple and Samsung say to never use a heating source, like a blow dryer or oven, to dry off your phone. The heat could damage it. Silica gel beads could help You could also try silica gel. According to Gazelle, silica gel beads are a good option to absorb moisture out of phones. Silica gel beads can be found in those white packs labeled "Do not eat" that many products come packed with. You can save these packs from packages you've received, or buy packs through online stores like Amazon or companies like Dry & Dry. Once you have your silica, here's what to do after dropping your phone in water: 1. Get your phone out of the water and turn it off. 2. Dry the outside of your phone with a lint-free towel. 3. Place your phone in a large container. 4. Fill the container with your silica gel beads and seal the container. 5. Gazelle recommends waiting 72 hours to let your phone dry. 6. Remove your phone from the container and try turning it back on. Other household items might help If you don't have silica gel beads on hand, you could try other household items. Gazelle found couscous and instant rice both work well as drying agents. Follow the steps in the above section, but replace the silica beads with either of these, wait for the same amount of time and then try restarting your device. Gazelle also tested conventional cat litter, oats, chia seeds and uncooked white rice but doesn't recommend these products because they leave behind debris that could damage your phone.

It may be rare to see them in Parliament, especially with a classic blue suit, but sneakers have crossed over into popular culture from sport, reaching wide appeal. It seems the low-profile trainer has never gone out of style. In early 2024, British Vogue placed the Gazelle among the 'fashion trainer' phenomenon — an 'obsession' that wasn't fading anytime soon. While the former PM may be a little late to be sporting Gazelles, his fashion choice certainly got noticed on X.
