What do you buy a golf-mad dad who has everything?
Golfers tend to buy their own gear, and they are fussy about it. Balls, gloves, towels and tees pile up in the garage, and most of them are replaced the moment he finds a brand he prefers. A gift that goes beyond equipment stands out, which is why a personalised print works so well: it sits on a wall at home, in the study or in the clubhouse and tells his story.
The Personalised Golf Word Art Print (£9.99) is the most flexible starting point. It suits a dad who simply lives for the game and does not have a milestone coming up. Fill it with the places he has played, the friends he plays with and the phrases that only come out at the 19th hole. It works equally well for Christmas, a birthday or Father’s Day.
If you are shopping for Father’s Day specifically, our guide to Father’s Day gifts for golfers has more ideas to pair with a print.
Which golf gift suits a dad with a milestone birthday?
A milestone birthday is the easiest time to give a personalised golf gift, because the age gives the design a natural focus. There is a golf word art print for most of the big ones, each made to order with your own words.
- Turning 18: a first-club, first-round kind of gift. See the Golf 18th word art print (£9.99).
- Turning 20: the Golf 20th word art print (£9.99).
- Turning 30: the Personalised Golf 30th Birthday Word Art Print (£9.99).
- Turning 40: the Personalised Golf 40th Birthday Word Art Print (£9.99).
- Turning 50: the Personalised Golf 50th Birthday Word Art Print (£9.99).
For older dads, the later milestones give you plenty of history to write about. The Personalised Golf 60th Birthday Word Art Print (£9.99) is a popular choice, and there is a second Personalised Golf 60th Birthday Word Art Print design if you want to compare layouts. For a dad turning 70, try the Personalised Golf 70th Birthday Word Art Print (£9.99). The Personalised Golf 80th word art (£9.99) and the Personalised golf 90th word art print (£9.99) suit a dad or grandad who has been playing for decades.
If the birthday is not a round number, our dad birthday gift ideas will help you build a bigger present around the print.
What about the dad who loves his clubs and kit?
Some dads are less about the scorecard and more about the ritual of the game: the polished clubs, the bag packed the night before, the new ball on the first tee. Two prints speak to that.
The Personalised Golf Bag Word Art Print (£9.99) is a good fit for a dad who takes pride in his kit. You can fill it with the clubs he swears by, the courses he has carried the bag round and the people who have shared a buggy with him.
The Word art print of Golfball (£9.99) is a simple, graphic option that suits a home office or games room. It works well if his style is minimal and he would rather have one clean design than a busy one.
Is there a golf gift for a golfing mum, wife or daughter?
If golf runs in the family, you may be buying for more than one player. The Word art print of a Female Golfer (£9.99) is designed for women who play, and it pairs nicely with a print for dad if you are giving gifts to a golfing couple. For more ideas, read our guide to gifts for women golfers.

What words to put on a golf print for dad
This is where a personalised gift earns its place. Generic golf words look fine, but the details only your family knows are what make him stop and read it. Aim for a mix of facts, places and in-jokes. Here are three example word lists to borrow from.
For the club stalwart
- His name and his nickname on the course
- The name of his home club
- “Captain’s day” or the year he played in the club championship
- His lowest round, written as a number
- His regular fourball, first names only
- The 18th hole
For the dad who golfs with his kids
- The names of every child (and grandchild) who has caddied or ridden in the buggy
- The first course you played together
- “Mulligan” and any family rules you have invented
- The drink he always buys at the turn
- Something he says after every bad shot
- “Best dad, best swing”
For the milestone birthday
- The year he started playing and the year he turned the age on the print
- Courses on his bucket list, and the ones he has already ticked off
- A hole-in-one, if he has had one, with the date
- Qualities friends would use about him: patient, competitive, generous, loyal
- Names of his oldest golf friends
- A line from his wedding speech or his favourite saying
If you are stuck, ask his playing partners to send you a word or two each. It often turns up the details he never mentions himself.
How it works

FAQ
What is a good golf gift for a dad who already has every club and gadget?
A personalised print is a good answer because it adds something he cannot buy for himself: his own words. A word art print filled with his course names, his best scores and the jokes from his Saturday fourball becomes a gift that is entirely his. Prints start from £9.99 as a digital download.
Can I get a personalised golf gift in time if I have left it late?
Yes. Every print can be a digital download that arrives instantly, from £9.99. You can print it at home or at a local print shop the same day, and you see a free preview before you buy. Framed and unframed prints are posted, with framed prints shipping within 3-5 working days in the UK.
How much do personalised golf prints for dad cost?
Digital downloads start from £9.99, and so do unframed prints. A framed A4 print starts from £22.99 and a framed A3 print from £30.99, so there is an option for most budgets.
What words should I put on a golf print for my dad?
Use things only your family would know: his nickname on the course, his home club, his lowest round, a favourite hole and a catchphrase he says after a bad shot. Add the year or his age if it is a milestone birthday. Specific details always read better than generic golf words.
Is there a golf print for a milestone birthday?
Yes. There are golf word art prints for the 18th, 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th and 90th. Each is personalised with your own words, so the age is built into the design.
Do you offer golf prints for female golfers too?
Yes, there is a word art print of a female golfer, handy if you are buying for a mum, wife or daughter who plays. You can also read our guide to gifts for women golfers for more ideas.
