Father's Day Golf Gifts: A Golfer Dad's Personal Wish List of 5 Items

GOLF.com contributor Josh Sens draws up a candid Father's Day wish list — five items he'd genuinely like his grown kids to gift him. The picks range from practical gear upgrades to recovery tools, with a dose of self-deprecating humor throughout.

Sun Mountain Pathfinder PX4 Push Cart

An updated version of the popular Pathfinder 4, the PX4 folds and unfolds in two steps and weighs just over 17 lbs. The new single-piece handle enables one-handed pushing and steering, while the redesigned console accommodates balls, scorecards, and a phone. Dual umbrella holders and extendable front axles round out the practical improvements.

Titleist Vokey SM11 Wedge

After losing his go-to 56-degree wedge, Sens looks to Vokey's latest iteration. The SM11 features grooves that are 5% larger by volume, heat-treated for longevity, and engineered for enhanced spin. For golfers focused on improving SG: ATG, this kind of groove performance upgrade is a legitimate consideration.

Theragun Elite

Muscle soreness accumulates with age, and Sens makes no apologies for wanting targeted relief. The Theragun Elite pairs a quiet brushless motor with Bluetooth app integration, offering personalized post-round recovery routines built around your activity data. Portable and effective — a strong case for treating recovery as part of the performance stack.

Personalized Titleist Pro V1s (2025)

With an estimated 1–3 billion golf balls lost worldwide each year, replenishments are always welcome. The 2025 Pro V1 delivers improved ball speed, more iron and wedge spin, and a softer feel. The personalization option adds levity — Sens prefers a cheeky phrase over printing his name near hazards.

Del Campo 1776 Socks

Breathable fabric, cushioned heel and toe, athletic fit. Father's Day socks have endured as a gift staple for good reason — they're genuinely useful, on and off the course.

Strokeslab's Take

Beyond the gift-guide framing, the wedge and ball selections reflect real performance logic. SG: ATG data consistently shows that greenside spin and control are high-leverage areas for scoring improvement — the SM11's groove upgrades are worth paying attention to, not just as gear churn.
