Michigan Golf Journal June 2019

Christmas comes twice a year in the golf business; there’s the actual holiday season at the end of calendar year and then there’s Father’s Day. Because we’ve entered the heart of the golf season in Michigan, it’s the ideal time to get something for the golfing dad, too, that he will put into play on his next league night or the outing he’s been looking forward to for weeks. Plus, just like the Christmas holiday, golf deals can be found everywhere. Here are a few gifts to consider for dad this Father’s Day: FootJoy Contour Fit Golf Shoes FootJoy’s tag line is “The #1 Shoe in Golf,” and for good reason. FootJoy has offered quality footwear for decades, from their entry-point GreenJoy model to the shoes that set the industry standard for waterproof and comfort, the DryJoy. A 2-Year waterproof shoe usually costs over $100, but the FootJoy Contour Fit is now available for under $50. With the additional cushioned fit and enhanced support features, you’ll keep dad’s feet comfortable and dry on the course regardless of the conditions. Special sales price available at Maple Hill Golf. Instruction There is some aspect of dad’s game that he’d love to improve. But, like many golfers, he’d rather spend time and money on the course than at the range. Getting him an hour of good instruction is the gift that will keep on giving. It can help him cure his slice (saving him money on golf balls) or fix the chipping yips that keep him from breaking 80. Teaching and PGA professionals in your area are easy to find (your local course can help you find a quality instructor) and package deals that include more than one lesson are often Michigan Golf Journal Gift Givi g Ideas What to Get for Dad?
