If you have a father who enjoys playing golf or simply enjoys art, golf sculptures and other decorative items, then don't look further for the ideal Father's Day gift. Like most golf enthusiasts who love all golf gifts, your special father will also love an artistic touch to the game. Although, before you think this article will give you the same old ideas of gifting golf balls and golf tee times or a t-shirt... then wait! We have gathered some brilliant Father's Day golf gift ideas that you may have never have thought of.

Golf Landscape Lithographs
Limited edition prints of original golf paintings that are signed by the artist are quite valuable, but far less expensive than original oil paintings. Since original golf art paintings tend to be very pricey, the next best thing to an original is a canvas reproduction that looks just like the original at a very affordable price. Perhaps the most well known golf artist is Graeme Baxter who has hundreds of different golf art lithograph prints of famous golf courses.

Giclees of Golf Paintings
You can also gift your father a Giclee of his favorite golf course painting. Giclees are a fine-art printing method which can be done on cotton canvas or artist textured vinyl using inkjet printers. Most artwork is either printed on paper or canvas; which canvas reproductions are amazingly similar to the original and are used primarily in museums. If you want to gift your father a Giclee of golf landscape, then again the most well known the golf art of Graeme Baxter.

Golf Themed Stained Glass Items
Golf art is not limited to paintings and prints. You can find something nice for your father among stained glass items with the golf theme. Take for example golf theme stained glass table lamps, pool table lights, artistic panels, and boxes. There are hundreds of artisans that provide golf art and decorative items which makes it a little more difficult to choose from, but they are all available online.

Golf Sculptures
Sculptures and statuettes related to golf can be a great gift for your father if he loves the game of golf. Artisans use a variety of materials such as bronze, acrylic, resin, porcelain and wood. Some popular subjects for golf statues are caddies, golf bags, Victorian golfers (men and women), golf swings, etc.

Hope these interesting and unique golf gift ideas will help you to gift something special to your dad this year on a Father's Day. Show him how much you care for him and share the wonderful world of art for him to enjoy for years to come...
