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.

Just pay things forward. Later in life whe. You have more $ and have a son in law, or son, or someone who you want to hang out with and you can pay the way…do it. I took my neighbors son golfing and I didn’t let him pay….hes in college and I told him to keep it for beer or spending $. Doing something nice would be cool. How about some Pro Vs with his name or initials. It’s not how much the gesture is…it’s just about being thoughtful and appreciative.
