Dad probably doesn’t need another coffee mug. He probably doesn’t need another tie, either.

But if he loves golf, there’s a good chance he’d appreciate something that helps him make better decisions on the course, avoid a few hazards and maybe even save a few strokes along the way.

That’s where GPS golf watches come in.

Modern golf watches do far more than tell time – they provide yardages to the green, hazard information, course maps, scorekeeping, shot tracking and fitness monitoring, all from a device worn comfortably on the wrist. Some even offer virtual caddies, green contour data and personalized game-tracking tools.

For golfers who enjoy technology and spending time on the course, a GPS golf watch can be one of the most useful Father’s Day gifts available.

Here are several GPS golf watches at Worldwide Golf worth considering this Father’s Day.
