Hi Golfer,

Yesterday evening, I found myself curious about the changes in the golf apparel landscape. I’m not making that up … this is the kind of thing that pops into my head late in the day.

So, anyway, I browsed over to a golf apparel specialty site I used to look at quite a bit back in the day. I wanted to see what legacy brands were still around and which of the new players had infiltrated the mainstream.

Long story short, I stumbled on this 👇 and I want to know if you’d wear it?

Would you wear this shirt?

TaylorMade Stars & Stripes Collection

O say will you buy?

When Francis Scott Key penned the words:

🚀 And the rockets’ red glare
🎆 The bombs bursting in air
🌃 Gave proof through the night
🇺🇸 That our flag was still there

He couldn’t have known the impact it would have on commercial goods. Nearly 200 years later, the Star Spangled Banner is used as inspiration for special celebratory patriotic-themed gear, including this sweet new “Stars and Stripes” collection from TaylorMade.

Nerd Numbers: Bryson’s Blast Was an Anomaly

Difficulty by the Numbers

On his LIV profile, DeChambeau lists a “60-yard bunker shot” as the shot that gives him the most difficulty. It wasn’t exactly a favorable position when he needed par to win his second major title.

But just how clutch was the shot at Pinehurst? It is certainly among the most timely major championship shots ever, but would it be No. 1 on the list?

Don’t Forget to Wash Your Rain Gear

Buyer’s Guide: The Best Rain Gear

Keep your gear fresh

Did you know that you need to wash your rain gear to keep it performing at its best?

I’ll be the first to say that I find the idea of washing rain gear counterintuitive (won’t it just repel the water?), but it’s something that needs to be done from time to time.

Sweat, sunscreen … basically all the nasty parts of golf can seep into the fabrics, rendering them ineffective. The good news is that if your gear isn’t working like it used to, you may not need to replace it.

How do I know when I should wash my rain gear?

If you notice that water is soaking in instead of beading and running out (that’s called wetting-out), it’s time for a wash.

Likewise, if you notice dirt and stains on the outside, it’s probably time for a proper cleaning.

Do I toss it in the machine like everything else, or is there anything special I need to know?

You need to do something a little special.

First, always read the manufacturer’s instructions, but typically, they’ll tell you to:

🔵 Close all your zippers and any hook and loop (VELCRO).

🔵 Run your gear through a wash cycle with a technical cleaner (Nikwax Tech Wash is the common recommendation).

🔵 If your gear is still wetting-out, apply a waterproofer like Nikwax TX.Direct.

With a little TLC, your rain gear should be as good as new.

Arias Golf Canada TB-30 Chipper

Avoiding the yips

Your greenside game can make or break your scores. Try as you might, chances are you won’t hit all your greens in regulation. The ability to get up and down is often essential to keeping a good round going.

Sadly, if there’s an area of the game where the yips are the most prevalent, it’s probably chipping. If Tiger once had the yips, it could truly happen to anyone.

Enter the Arias Golf TB-30 Chipper.

🌬️ The Best Golf Windbreakers

Be ready for anything

Do you need help breaking wind?

You know what … phrasing matters. Let’s start over.

Today’s golf windbreakers aren’t just for the cold. Among the best, you’ll find wind vests, short-sleeved wind shirts and numerous convertible jackets with zippers or buttons. While a traditional long-sleeved windbreaker might be your go-to—it’s easy enough to stuff in your bag’s big pocket and pull it out when you need it—you need to check out one of the other options for warm, windy days or for layering on top of your favorite merino wool blend crewneck sweatshirt.

Regardless of what type of wind you’re facing, there’s a windbreaker that will keep goosebumps from taking over. Unfortunately, they won’t help you hit it into the wind. You’re on your own for that.
