From the golf course to the little league sidelines, Shed Rain’s heavy-duty golf umbrella makes sure rain doesn’t ruin all the fun.

(They literally tested it in a wind tunnel!)It’s made with UPF 15 material to make it useful on sunny days as well.

If he’s like most dads of a certain age, chances are his grooming habits involve a bar of Irish Spring and a splash of Old Spice.

Pickleball > Shuffleboard. And though the tennis/ping pong mash up has become a total sensation across all demographics, it’s really found favor with the older crowd. A shorter court and wiffle ball style ball (which doesn’t move too far or too fast) means less running and exertion.
