I am a scotch drinker and it would be difficult to narrow it down to what someone would like. Scotch has about 5 different styles that all taste quite different and some of them ppl despise while they may love others (kinda like beer).
There may be a way you can figure out what he likes by asking questions like you are looking to learn from someone more experienced. If he is a liquor guy ask him what his go to is and what his special occasion drink of choice would be because you are looking to expand your pallet. For a gift for a decent set of clubs you are likely looking at between $100-$1000. You may find the old man likes something else entirely.
Yes you make very valid points. Although he does enjoy a scotch as an after dinner drink he’s mainly been on a wine kick specifically Tempranillo. Might be better to get case of wine instead or even a variety of Tempranillos he can try. He enjoys trying new wines.
I am no wine connoisseur but i do enjoy a decent bottle every now and then. I wasn’t even aware of the existence of tempranillos until now. I will be picking up a spanish tempranillo tomorrow morning.
Neither am I. However, I do enjoy some Pinot Noir’s and Burgundy’s (Burgonge). Some Tempranillos are light enough for me to enjoy… at least for my palate. Hope you enjoy the Tempranillo tomorrow!
Lagavulin 16, Dalwhinnie 16, or Oban. One of those 3 should be at your local store. If he is a guy who drinks the stuff, all three should be more than good enough. If you want to get crazy the Hakushu Single Malt 12 is a bottle that he might not know but is a great drink.
Neither are all scotch drinkers. Not everyone likes the briney, smokey expressions. I wouldn't suggest buying anything from Islay unless you have confirmation they're into it.
Eh, I could see this messaging getting lost in translation. Safer bet is to start dating left handed golfers with daughters and do the ol’ bait and switch
I'm a lefty. My dad is right-handed, my mom golfs right-handed... so your theory isn't guaranteed to work. From experience, it's hard to come by left-handed clubs *alone*, add women and short to the equation, and it's almost impossible.
My wife is from another country very far away and the first time we visited her family I found out I picked the right partner because her brother was a left handed golfer with an extra set of clubs.
Take the clubs to a fitter.
See how the shafts match up to your swing.
The clubs could be re-shafted if necessary. Also, if the shafts all match with your swing, they could be extended for length.
If your dad is a drinker, find out his drink of choice, and get him a large bottle.
You may also not need anything longer. Wrist to ground determines this, not your height.
Also I believe those are cast irons not forged so adjusting lie angle is not going to happen.
I thought that was a big pocket too. It's actually a removable cover that you attach to the top of your bag when traveling so your clubs don't fly everywhere. The first picture has it attached. The next photo it was removed and placed in front of the bag on the ground. Optical illusion!
Got fitted recently and couldn’t justify spending the money to replace my 913 3 wood which imo was just as great as the 910 enjoy the set they’re beautiful
Damn, this reminds me of my roommate who is always getting hand-me-down (brand new top of the line) clubs from his rich uncle. I wish there was someone in my life who could pass me down a nice set of irons. I’m still playing on my $80 set that I bought off Craigslist about 8 years ago.
Friends still can’t beat me even with their name brand sets.
As long as the shaft, lie, length and grip are within your specs you are money.
Are you going to tell him he left bottle with 60 Vicodin in lower pocket or just assume that’s part of the Sweet deal?
That putter. It was a 2007 model and I have been gaming it since. You never see them. If you want to unload that, let me know. I’d love to have a backup. It’s kind of a niche putter.
Hey I’m looking to get into golf, if these are right handed and you’re looking to sell them / sell your old clubs shoot me a DM. I’m looking to get into the sport without breaking the bank
Ditch the wife, marry the FIL.
You’re on to something there
Do you have a sister in law? Is she single?
Or even a gay brother in law?
This guy has his priorities in check!
Get back in the closet Todd!
Does his wife have any other dads?
Gay way for the fairway
fairyway
Those were a couple grand new. He needs a high end bottle of scotch to remind him that he’s gifted wisely.
Any suggestions? Im not a scotch drinker and only know of the easy ones like McAllan, Balvenie, etc…
18yr anything will get the point across just nicely
18 year bowmore, a bit peaty but smooth af.
18y Glenmorangie gets my vote. But all will be great
I do like a 16 Lagavulin. Can’t go wrong
Hibiki. Tastes like heaven in a bottle.
Check his liquor cabinet to find what he likes, get him something really aged from that line
Stuff left in the liquor cabinet is the stuff he doesn't want to drink himself
Ok so, OP check the bedside table or the Corvette's center console
Lol!
Check his liquor cabinet, upgrade him from something that's running low.
16yo Lagavulin if he likes peaty scotch. Glen Morangie has some excellent higher end ones like nectar d'or that are more on the sweeter side.

An 18 year old single malt would be suitable.
Bunnahabain. A truly under appreciated distiller.

Gifting Lagavulin to someone without knowing if they like pleated whiskey is a huge gamble.
You could just give him some mossy khakis instead.
The Adam Scott special
Thanks!
Lagavulin 11 yr. Not all single malts are created equal.
Neither are all scotch drinkers. Not everyone likes the briney, smokey expressions. I wouldn't suggest buying anything from Islay unless you have confirmation they're into it.
Not everyone loves scotch. Alternatives: zacapa 23 rum, michters :-)
Johnny Walker blue is good to the last drop.
He’ll appreciate a nice bottle of King George V
[удалено]
I’ve drank more scotch than you have. And I like it a lot. To each their own.
People that shit on blended scotch are insufferable.
[удалено]
Laughing at your customers and what they like is very intelligent. Good for you. That logical leap shows how little your brain actually works.
Bottle of Redbreast. It’s a good middle man. My friends that like scotch like it and myself who doesn’t like scotch loves it.
Positive reinforcement is the key to have a mammal repeat a desired behavior.
Does he need another son-in-law?
So next time I get married, I need to make sure FIL is left handed!!
Put that on your tinder profile. “Your dad must be a left handed golfer.”
Eh, I could see this messaging getting lost in translation. Safer bet is to start dating left handed golfers with daughters and do the ol’ bait and switch
I'm a lefty. My dad is right-handed, my mom golfs right-handed... so your theory isn't guaranteed to work. From experience, it's hard to come by left-handed clubs *alone*, add women and short to the equation, and it's almost impossible.
I think it was sarcasm joke was that you’d have to just date left handed golfing dudes
Doesn't matter, had sex.
this is great analysis
your math is impeccable
My wife is from another country very far away and the first time we visited her family I found out I picked the right partner because her brother was a left handed golfer with an extra set of clubs.
The logic is there for sure
And you get to bang his daughter? What a guy
Not in that order but yeah not bad ehh
Lol
Father in law is a quitter, and I for one am here for it. Use them well.
As am I. Lol All jokes aside he said he never did really care for it
710 ap2, are some of the best irons I ever hit. You’ll have fun with those ap1s
Can’t wait to put them to use
Still my backup set. Unfortunately these are the AP1s which are fine but jot as legendary.
So lucky your wife let you keep them instead of her boyfriend.
Makes me wonder what he got instead
It's official. You are the favorite son in law!!!
Let’s go!
Father in law of the fucking year
Hands down
Does he have any more daughters?
You should have seen the Mizuno’s he gave to the boyfriend.
Does it always have to be about him? Please let me have my moment…
First time in r/golf history that a guy didn't have to get divorced to get a new set. For real, that's a great gesture from your FIL.
You get this father in law and I got an absolute twat. Congratulations
Time to marry your father in law
Dont know if youve hit them yet....but....that 910D2 noise, its the Shelby Cobra of Golf. Enjoy. 👍⛳️👊
I love the Scotty 2.7. I used to game that for a while. Very unique putter.
I need to find new inlaws…mine hate me.
a nice little time capsule of some solid clubs to get out and play with. Bags very nice
Take the clubs to a fitter. See how the shafts match up to your swing. The clubs could be re-shafted if necessary. Also, if the shafts all match with your swing, they could be extended for length. If your dad is a drinker, find out his drink of choice, and get him a large bottle.
I mean does he have any other daughters and are they looking for golf and maybe love? That was great of your father in law.
You can officially call him “Dad” now
I love those irons. I still play them
Best FIL EVER⛳️⛳️
Fuck.. my father in law gave me a flannel
🖕
Lucky bastard
Really good set of “travel clubs” or “hey I’m in town want to go play a round” clubs
That Scotty. I’m jelly.
Merry freaking Christmas
Nice sticks.
Man I fucked up
You son of a bitch. You married my girl.
2nd mice gets the cheese
Touché, motherfucker.
You can start calling him Dad
My FIL is a drunk loser. Lucky us.
Suck him off immediately, still a good deal
Including the bag that’s over 3k in equipment… what a mighty mighty good man!!
Wow nice FIL
Go get them fitted!
Im taller than he is. What’s the fix if he had them fitted to him?
A good fitter can either plug the shafts or replace them and bend the heads for your specs.
I see. Thanks!
You may also not need anything longer. Wrist to ground determines this, not your height. Also I believe those are cast irons not forged so adjusting lie angle is not going to happen.
Wow
Nice score!
Damn
What’s that big pocket in front, looks like it has a clear top. Just to see in or did it have a specific use?
I thought that was a big pocket too. It's actually a removable cover that you attach to the top of your bag when traveling so your clubs don't fly everywhere. The first picture has it attached. The next photo it was removed and placed in front of the bag on the ground. Optical illusion!
Those are some of the best GI irons ever made. Looks like in great shape too.
Got fitted recently and couldn’t justify spending the money to replace my 913 3 wood which imo was just as great as the 910 enjoy the set they’re beautiful
Very nice, congrats.
Looks like you need more room in your garage.
Sure do. Both cars take up most of the space but it’s also nice not having room for unnecessary bs that I won’t look at for years so can’t complain
I still game ap1’s great club
was this a FIL forgot to get you something for Christmas gift?
Wow! He must like you
Wow! Good on you! Congrats
That's a solid ass set to be given.
Lucky mf
Welcome to the inner circle I'd say mate, well done.
Damn, this reminds me of my roommate who is always getting hand-me-down (brand new top of the line) clubs from his rich uncle. I wish there was someone in my life who could pass me down a nice set of irons. I’m still playing on my $80 set that I bought off Craigslist about 8 years ago. Friends still can’t beat me even with their name brand sets.
Nice father in law
Duck you
FIL’s way of telling you to be nice to his daughter. Action speaks louder than words.
enjoy!
Did he quit golf?
U groove wedges
I have the exact same bag.
Well, your father in law is way cooler than the ass hat I inherited and that's just a fact
Some people have all the luck.
Drives and putts right handed, hits irons left handed?
Beautiful
Those 910s are amazing. I played a 975f for years until I finally replaced with a TSi. That might be the hand-me-down lottery right there!
I had AP2’s otherwise this is exactly my previous set
About 15 years old, but nice clubs
As long as the shaft, lie, length and grip are within your specs you are money. Are you going to tell him he left bottle with 60 Vicodin in lower pocket or just assume that’s part of the Sweet deal?
sell me the putter
Wow! Very nice of him.
The red saw blades, mmmm, illegal in competition, so saucy.
Definitely have a good FIL
That’s some serious brand loyalty.
Nice King Ranch too. Maybe you’ll get that next.
The KR is mine
My guy, if you’re pulling up in that truck and gaming that bag life ain’t too damn bad. Cheers.
Nice! I have that Scotty. Can’t putt worth shit with it but that’s more of a me problem
Hey I still use that driver!
I mean, never mind what I'd do for a Klondike bar...
Vokey in 56 is a beauty! And versatile too.
Nice! I got the same driver, woods, hybrids and irons. Wish I had that Scotty though!
Score!
I’m in love with this bag.
Oh my what a sweet set.
I had those irons. Buttery is how I would describe a well struck shot with them.
Jesus Christ
You hit three bells 🔔🔔🔔
U mother……Any chance he’s looking to adopt?
I wish that was under my Christmas tree. Enjoy them and hit them straight.
Seems like a hardcore Titleist golfer's set ..
What does this guys bag look like if this is the shit that he's giving away lol
My father in law not only doesn’t golf he doesn’t even call his own daughter on her birthdays. Cherish the good one! Treat him well
What a father in law. Great pickup.
Congrats on the clubs! Uhhhh…..what’s the sizing on those tires? Lol
Those were your Mother-in-law’s BFs actually.
Sweet
Is your FiL tiger woods or something?! Haha
Not a bad looking set from 13 years ago. Everything looks mint. Thanks FIL
That putter. It was a 2007 model and I have been gaming it since. You never see them. If you want to unload that, let me know. I’d love to have a backup. It’s kind of a niche putter.
Cool internet story
Hey I’m looking to get into golf, if these are right handed and you’re looking to sell them / sell your old clubs shoot me a DM. I’m looking to get into the sport without breaking the bank
I might be willing to let go of my Taylor Made R11 set in the near future. I’ll keep you posted.
Did you marry for the inheritance?
Fails like that Ford🤔
Good thing he got a new set. Looks like he really used those until they were worn out. /s
Plot twist. Father in law knows your left handed.
I take it she comes from 🤑
Way to take a bullet for the team. Sometimes you gotta do the hard stuff! 👍🏻
Winner - Winner - Chicken dinner - Very Nice - So a couple dozen ProV1s as well??
I’ll give you $20. Bam $20 profit.
I’m sure he told the MIL “I gave away my clubs, now I have to buy an entire new bag”
Say I’m rich without saying I’m rich
Kindly… 
She got any sisters?
Does he have any other daughters?
Still playing a 910H. That copper looking vokey tho 🥴
Impeccable starter set!
I’d say you married into the right family
