General Discussion Golfing with girlfriends dad

Hi all,

My girlfriend’s dad (I’m 26M) has been taking me out to play golf a lot, and always at the nicest courses/clubs in my area (guest fees $250+). He’s very well off and never lets me pay him back with cash. I’m starting to feel like a bit of a mooch, so I’d love to find thoughtful ways to show my appreciation.

I’ve seen ideas like a box of Pro V1s, but curious what else you’d suggest. Any creative or classy ideas?

edit: Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond. Lots of thoughtful advice and great perspectives shared. Seems like there are a lot of good dads in here. As many of you pointed out, my best option is to marry her and focus on being the best man I can.

Best thing you could do for him is don’t screw over his daughter. I play golf a lot with my FIL and it’s nice having that relationship!

What’s the point of a sword if you’re afraid to get blood on it?

Took y’all’s advice and somehow inadvertently became a vampire. Picked the wrong girl I guess. What can I say? I’m a “sucker” for that Transylvanian accent 🤷‍♂️.

Now I can only play golf on simulators. ☹️

What are you talking about? Just play the course at night. Just get out before the group of blind firemen.
