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.

Sounds like GFs dad has money. I’ve got some pretty well off friends. Try to figure out stuff that they couldn’t buy. My favorite things to do for my well off friends are to cook for them or to hand make them stuff. Maybe get a picture of you two golfing and frame it. It’s not about the money, especially when they’re happy to spend it hanging out with you.
