I’ll be blunt – the putter cover that comes free with the putter that you purchase is pretty darn basic and nothing to write home about. I know Scotty Cameron and Odyssey do sell some custom putter covers, which are unique and of better quality than what’s included free with your putter, but there simply has to be better options for the golfer who wants to make a “statement”. A company called KickInCovers manufactures very unique and detailed putter covers…
When summer comes and it gets really hot and humid, staying cool is very important to be able to stay focused on the golf course. Unfortunately air conditioned golf carts aren’t usually available so finding the next best option was something I knew I had to find. After a lot of research I’ve found a product that really helps on those hot days and works great! The company is called Misty Mate, and they offer a large selection of personal…
We’ve all seen tour players with unique and fun looking head covers in their bags. There are many different character and style covers to be found, including the famous “tiger head” made famous by Tiger Woods. In my opinion, head covers are like the specific accents that you add to your wardrobe that help make a “statement”. Some golfers dress to be stylish and some dress to get attention. Some dress to stay calm, cool and collected before hitting their…
I love socks, and whenever I find unique and fun pair of golf socks, I love to write about it. I found a company called Bold Socks and they offer some great designs specifically for golfers. In addition to golf socks, Bold Socks offers many other socks designs including those meant for men, woman, kids, and even weddings. Bold Socks has many hundreds of styles ranging from colorful, to funky and crazy. Bold Socks offers socks from traditional argyle, to…
I’m always searching for a great snack to carry with me while golfing. There are good reasons why professional golfers are often seen eating snacks while walking down the fairways. Sustaining our energy levels while playing golf can be a challenge. . Staying hydrated, focused and energized is a must. Plenty of snacks can be found that provide a quick energy burst that does not last, and energy drinks are typically filled with loads of sugar. I have recently begun…
Although there are countless numbers of golf gloves that are available in the marketplace, most golf gloves are virtually identical. Finding a golf glove that actually has some additional benefits was previously unavailable until now. The Copper Tech Golf Glove, with copper infused technology was a product that I found at the PGA Show in Orlando. I’m aware of many other products with copper infused technology that I’ve previously come across, including socks and therapeutic braces that claim to ease…
As a golfer, finding a good sunscreen that isn’t greasy (which makes holding the golf club nearly impossible) is tougher than you may think. Part of my mission at the last PGA Show was to locate sunscreen manufacturers that specifically make sun block for golfers. SKIN Sunscreen offers several protective products to the golfing community which includes a lotion that is SPF 30+, a continuous spray that’s SPF 50, an SPF 30+ rated lip balm and polo shirts that are…
I always bring something to a friend’s house when I’m invited over, whether it’s to watch golf on television (like the Masters or Ryder Cup) or just hanging out and having a few drinks on the weekend. I try to bring different and fun types of treats, other than the typical bottle of wine, six pack of beer or a favorite desert. I found some very delicious, golf-themed chocolates on line. Because these candies seemed so unique, I just had…
While at the PGA show, I met with the folks at MAXX Sunglasses and learned about their golf sunglasses. MAXX sunglasses’ lenses have a unique brownish tint (see picture below), causing objects to look less shiny, which allow you to better see the grain of the greens. MAXX technology increases sight definition while allowing your eyes to relax. I took a pair of MAXX golf sunglasses on the course for a real field test on a bright and sunny day.…
We all mark our golf balls that land on the green with something. Ball markers come in many forms – from spare pocket change to markers with unique shapes with a little added bling. Ball markers come in all styles. Funmarkers.com has many ball marker themes to choose from. Choices include western, beach, critters, flags floral, poker and much more. I’m personally using their ball maker that says, “Keep Calm and Golf On!”. When I get to the green, my…
