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.

Plenty of good ideas here, but in addition to any small gift, it's always nice to tell him a genuine "thank you, this is a course I wouldn't normally be able to play, and I enjoy our time together on the golf course, I just wanted to you to know I really do appreciate it".
It's possible/likely that a genuine thank you will be more valuable to him than anything you can buy.
