Father Day Gifts
You may be wondering why this paragraph is headed Father Day Gifts instead of Father's Day Gifts.
The reason is that apparently more people search for "father day gifts" than search for "father's day gifts". I guess they just can't be bothered typing the 's. So I'm using that term to help those people to find my "father day" gift suggestions.

"A wonderful compilation that reflects who he was as a person, as a golfer, and as someone who believed in giving back. He was a champion at each turn, and it was an honor not just knowing him and competing against him for nearly 60 years, but also being his friend." ―Jack Nicklaus, from the foreword.
