  • Father’s Day is coming up pretty quick! We’re here to tell you what gift to get for good ole dad that he’s really going to appreciate.

    Dads (men) have a tendency to get a little set in their ways as they get older, yet like all men they still wish to be hip and cool. That’s what mom is for, to keep them with it as best she can, and to make sure they don’t leave the house in a state would be”¦.well”¦.less than desirable. These gifts will help keep Dad on the cutting edge!

    For Dad On The Links ““ X1R Remote Control Caddie

    Odds are that Dad likes to golf, and despite his age, all boys still like to have their toys. The X1R is not only one of the most high tech golf caddies out there, it looks like it too! The standard version is completely controlled by remote, from up to approximately 50 yards away. Running on a rechargeable battery the X1R will last you all day on a single charge. The X1R features a lightweight, highly compact design for ease of transportation.
