Give Dad a golf weekend to remember: Dunning Pique Telekon Polo Shirt ,Puma Golf Argyle Tech Polo, J. Lindeberg Rubi RF JL Pique Polo,

The 111^th U.S. Open Golf Tournament is kicking off this Thursday, and if your dad is a golf fan, he’s probably been gearing up for it already. With contenders such as Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson, Zach Johnson and Lucas Glover competing this year, it'll surely be a  big weekend for your golf-loving dad.

With father’s day and the U.S. Open all this weekend, we think a gift of golf gear will be the perfect icing on the cake for his double-whammy weekend. We’d also suggest perhaps taking dad out for a round of golf this Sunday to really top off his special day.

With golf season fully upon us, and the PGA THE PLAYERS Championship taking place next week, we thought it’s only fitting to feature some of the latest and greatest in golf gear to get you prepared for months of perfecting your strokes.

Here are some great golf essentials for men and women to kick off the season:

-The perfect polo shirt:  Nothing epitomizes the classic golf look quite like a clean, crisp polo shirt. The Nike Method Polo Shirt for women and the Nike Colorblock Polo Shirt both feature their famous Dri-FIT™ technology that wicks away moisture. And if you’ve ever played a round of golf under a beating sun, you know just how important it is to wear breathable fabrics on the course.

-Cool and comfy golf shorts: Shorts are essential during the warmer months, and even more so on the golf course. Capri shorts are a great option for the lady golfer. Try the Nike Tech Long Sport Short with its handy cargo pockets. For men, pick a pair of shorts that are roomy enough to allow for a full range of motion. The Nike Core Plaid Short has a relaxed, casual feel that’s perfect for summer. Of course, both feature the same Dri-FIT™ fabric to keep you focused on the game and not the heat.

-Lightweight, sporty golf shoes:  Comfort is key when it comes to golf shoes, but it certainly doesn’t mean they can’t be stylish. The sleek PUMA Sunny for women is a great option if you’re concerned about the possibilities of a sudden spring shower. For men, the Ecco Golf Biom has the same anatomical last and super lightweight comfort of the regular Biom Natural Motion series, with excellent traction that’s essential on the course. It also has a water and stain-resistant upper treatment, which comes in handy after a full 18 holes.

Boss Hugo Boss reminds men across the world that golf is a gentleman’s sport. Their line of European-inspired patterns, cuts and fabrics are sported by great golf pros such as Henrik Stenson, Pablo Larrazabal and Oliver Wilson. Have all of your golfing buddies complementing your refined sense of style with the stylish Veeh pullover from BOSS Hugo Boss. The wool fab provides a warm, comfortable wear and can be machine washed – perfect for the avid golfer. Compliment it with a Vily v-neck sweater vest and you’ll be hitting the links in style. Put the shirts the pros are wearing in your closet so you can impress your mates at your next skins game.
