Ideas And Patterns To Make A Gift For A Golfer

[Jaymack]

I don't know much about this sport, but my father is an avid golfer. Does anyone have an idea/pattern for a father's day golf related gift that I can make with leather?

I live with an avid golfer, he's often bugging me about a leather putter head cover. The style would depend on your father's putter style. I'll see if I can find a few pics to give you an idea. Dont know how your pattern making skills are.

A google search here shows several styles, you'll need to know where the "handle" attaches to the putter head

you can't go wrong with head covers for his woods. Nothing fancy, but just a tube shape will be the best. Fitted are a pain and unnecessary.

They are considered "old fashioned" but if you try to get them now they are VERY costly as only a few companies still make them and they charge an arm and a leg for them.

Herrington, Orvis, etc have them sometimes but they can run $200-$400 for a set of 4! Use chap or garment leather and I think that you will be all in for around $50.00 and your time.

Yesterday I saw on a Coach sale a small leather case/pouch for golf balls.. I think they held 3-4 balls. Cylinder shape with small zipper on one end. Could easily be done with a flap/slip closure.
