Appearance on Sam Crenshaw's Sunday Morning Show 92.9 The Game

I join Sam on Sunday, June 12, 2016 to talk some Father's Day tech gifts and then some tennis in part 2.

Have a listen to both parts and then the gift guide is below:

Even though Dad may say he doesn't want or need anything for Father's Day, we beg to differ and Rick is here with some golf and travel gift possibilities...


1.  Callaway’s Customizable New Chrome Soft Golf Ball – $39.99 per dozen

·         Put Dad’s Name on his favorite new golf balls!

- The balls are great!
·         Fast Ball Speed Off The Driver   
Callaway’s new Dual SoftFast Core™ is engineered for the best tee shot dad can imagine.
    Your message can be in one of four colors to choose from: black, red, blue and green.
    Your message can be as many as three lines (20 characters per line), so haikus are still in play.

If dad is "king of castle" let him control it with one remote. Logitech, the leading authority when it comes to remote controls has hit a home run with their Harmony Companion. Control home entertainment and automation devices using an easy-to-use Harmony remote or the handy Harmony App. Dad will be able to control all his home automation devices individually or in groups with dedicated home control buttons. It's easy to customize the dedicated media playback, cable/satellite, and DVR controls to your preferences. The Harmony Companion is perfect for the living room, man cave or office.  A bargain at $129.99
 

3. eero

- continuing with the home entertainment theme...  give Dad the gift of faster Wi-Fi
According to a report published by mobile broadband company Ericsson, even a two-second delay in loading a YouTube video will raise a person's stress level by 3%. And six seconds? A 19% leap in stress levels.

This Father's Day, gift your dad something that will help relieve his stress while allowing him to enjoy streaming video, sports, and music again, from any room in his home.
eero is a home WiFi system that replaces your current router and adds additional WiFi access points throughout the home. It eliminates the pain points many of us encounter with internet at home - from dead zones, to poor connections, to buffering.
Here's why else eero is a great gift for dad:
 No tech support needed: Dad won't have to go crawling around on the floor or down in the basement to reset the internet, while the kids gripe about the WiFi

Entertainment throughout the house: Whether dad enjoys gardening, working in the garage, or hanging in the den, eero ensures his music, movies, and sports are reliable and fast anywhere in the home (or outside!)
 


4. Tennis Trunk

www.tennistrunk.com
The first subscription box service for tennis players.

Atlanta has more recreational tennis players than any other city in the nation, so it doesn't matter if dad plays singles or doubles, he'll appreciate the only tennis subscription box service on the market, Tennis Trunk.
The "subscription box" commerce industry is growing at a rate of almost 200% per year. The industry generated $5 billion in revenue in 2014, and there is a subscription box to satisfy every need and want.

Thanks to Tennis Trunk, tennis players no longer have to feel left out of the mix. I call it "tennis balls and more, right to your door," but Tennis Trunk founder, Andres Vallejo, says it's a tennis subscription box service that is, "for tennis players (and put together) by tennis players. Each box is a surprise, but it always includes tennis balls and an assortment of tennis accessories. Buy one box, or get dad a monthly subscription.
 
 

5. BB&T Atlanta Open Tennis Tickets

Speaking of Tennis, how about BB&T Atlanta Open Tennis Tickets for the ATP World Tour 250 event starting July 30

6. Samsung Galaxy Edge 7
The Samsung Galaxy S7 available through Sprint for as low as $25.99/month. Also, with Sprint's Galaxy Forever program, dad can upgrade to the latest Galaxy every year. Galaxy Forever is included when you lease a GS7 or even a GS7 edge. You can upgrade any time after 12 payments.

The Galaxy S7 is the smartphone your life can't do without. A brilliant screen and a slim profile makes it stunning to the eye. Featuring the world's first dual pixel camera, low-light photos are no longer a problem. Samsung smartphones come with fast, wireless charging, the S7's 3,000 mAh battery recharges in no time. Expandable memory give you up to an additional 200 GB for pictures, videos, apps or games. It's a great phone for the dad who spends a lot of time outdoors.
Samsung's Galaxy S7 and S7 smartphones both sport a new design, improved specs, and one highly-anticipated feature - water resistance. The device is classified as IP68, which means it can be submerged in water to a depth of roughly 1.5m for 30 minutes.
