Golfweek 2021 Father’s Day Gift Guide

From cool golf gear to stylish clothing to cool gadgets and great bourbon, there is something here for every golf-loving Dad.

Father’s Day and golf have become synonymous because so many dads love to play and, traditionally, the final round of the U.S. Open is contested on Father’s Day Sunday (June 20). This year, with the West Coast time advantage as the tournament is played at the South Course at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, California, many dads have plenty of time to get in 18 holes in the morning before settling in to watch the game’s best players tackle one of the most beautiful and challenging venues in golf.

If you are struggling for ideas about what to get a golf-loving father this year, Golfweek has you covered. Check out the cool gear and accessories in the 2021 Father’s Day Gift Guide.

Seamus Golf re-releases Georgia Perennial Collection for Masters week

Adorned with flowers that holes at Augusta National Golf Club are named for, Seamus Golf re-releaseed its limited-edition accessories.

Two years ago, Francesco Molinari led the Masters after 54 holes and played in the final group Sunday morning with Tiger Woods and Tony Finau. The Italian star did not win the green jacket, but he did draw a lot of eyeballs to the commemorative head cover on his Callaway driver.

That year, Seamus Golf, a boutique accessories and ball maker, teamed with Callaway and Olivia Herrick, a Minnesota-based graphic designer who also happens to be a two-time winner of the Minnesota State Women’s Amateur Championship and the Minnesota State Women’s Amateur Match Play Championship, to offer a special series of Masters-themed head covers.

Nearly everything sold out within minutes, but now, with the 2021 Masters underway, Seamus is bringing back the Georgia Perennial Collection. It will be offered on head covers for drivers, fairway woods, hybrids and putters, as well as shoe bags, top kits and even a golf bag.

What makes the graphic unique is that it features flowers and plants that were originally found at the Fruitland Nursery, which was became the Augusta National Golf Club, and that the holes at Augusta National are named for. On the black background you will see flowers like Golden Bell (12), Azalea (13), Firethorn (15) and Holly (18). Printed on polyester canvas and lined with a complimentary yellow fleece.

The Seamus Georgia Perennial collection is available now with prices ranging from $75 for the hybrid head cover to $95 for the driver, fairway wood and putter covers. The top kit is $135, the shoe bag is $175 and the Par 3 golf bag is $495.

Golf lovers who are can’t go to the course are taking to social media and sharing all sorts of trick shots, workouts and practice sessions. However, Seamus Golf, a small brand based in Beaverton, Oregon, that has grown a cult following thanks to its unique headcovers, hand-forged ball markers and accessories posted a very different message.

30% OFF SITE WIDE // Sometime today, our Co-Founder Megan will be provided with more information on the actual design tech pack and materials to be used. We are proud of our team. They took the time to design a mask and figured out how many we can make. 5,000 in three days with our 10 sewers sewing if it were the design above. Our team is well accustomed to working on projects we’ve never worked on before. Some of our team learned to sew at SEAMUS, thus it is possible that we could to increase our workforce if that need presented itself. In the meantime, we will continue to offer a 30% site wide to all customers until we are making masks. Having taken serious steps to ensure Social Distancing, we now truly believe we are in a position to help. #farandsure

“Prototyping began last week and ended with our first production run on Friday,” a message on the company’s homepage read. “We are using our materials and constructing them in a way that each of these individuals are requesting to use as a last resort. They have confirmed that what we are making is better than what they are resorting to use.”

The masks are not made from N95 material though the company said it is seeking it and could use customers’ help on that front. Still, with masks running critically low in many areas, the Seamus masks are better than what many healthcare workers are being forced to use.

Seamus used the past week to set up its office for “social distanced production.” The company believes it can continue to make products and keep its employees through a tough time such as this. The Seamus store has been temporarily closed to allow the full team to focus and assess the situation with masks. A second production run began Monday night.

Seamus also said it would give away the masks for free to frontline workers who contact the company at masks@seamusgolf.com.
