Finding this at a thrift store would be pretty damn cool . . .
This authentic Masters jacket from the 1950s was found in a Toronto thrift store in 1994. Bought for $5, it sold for $139,349 this morning! pic.twitter.com/W41JefI8C9
The golf business is suffering, and Tiger Woods is nowhere to be found, so it can’t be a big surprise that Nike is getting out of the golf equipment business. So no more Nike clubs and balls, but they’ll still sell apparel and golf shoes.
We’re getting to that time of the year that golfers in many parts of the country and around the world start to dread. Golf on a beautiful fall day can be spectacular as the leaves start changing and the crisp fall air gives you an energy boost. But those days aren’t the norm, as in many locations the cold rain starts to show up, along with much colder days when the sun is nowhere to be found. It’s a stark change from those hot summer days when you’re playing in shorts and sweating through your shirt after only a few holes. Also, in many locations winter is around the corner, meaning you have to put those golf clubs away unless you’re planning a golf junket out to a warm golf resort.
With the change in the seasons and the cooler weather, you need different golf gear of course as your shorts and polo shirt just won’t do. Of course it’s also an excuse to check out some of the latest styles and shop golf clothing online at Funciton18 and other golf retailers. The photo above has one of the effective golf windstoppers from Galvin Green you can find at the website. You’ll see they have a ton of colors available as golf clothing is getting more colorful just like other clothing styles. I’m partial to the more classic and understated look of the gray and black item above. It’s a very light, flexible jacket with excellent breathability and windblocking properties so you can also wear that jacket in all sorts of casual settings, not just on the course. This windproof half zip golf jacket is made from lightweight Gore WINDSTOPPER® Soft Shell fabric and features a soft collar, elasticated cuffs and a drawstring hem. Browse through the store and you’ll be prepared for these fall days on the links.
Golfers as a whole are not necessarily the most stylish group of people. It’s a traditional game, and much of the clothing is very traditional. But if you’re paying attention to the pro golfers this weekend at Firestone, you’ll see that many of them, particularly the younger golfers, are embracing the newer styles we’re seeing in men’s clothing. The baggy look has been gone for years, and now the pants and shirts are much tighter. The younger and slimmer guys can look great in these new styles, while guys with a pot belly have to be pretty disappointed in these new trends.
So as you head out onto the links this summer, consider upgrading your golf wardrobe with the latest looks. You can click here to shop Galvin Green for one of the best brands in golf. The selection of golf shirts is excellent and you’ll surely find something that fits your tastes. You’ll see that they emphasize an athletic cut so if you’re in shape they’ll make you look great. They have some great waterproof golf jackets as well. By shopping for golf clothes from online store Function18, you’ll be able to choose from so many top brands like Boss and Adidas as well. Selection is important, as even with new styles you need to find something that works for you. You don’t need to mimic Rory McIlroy, but rather browse all of the new looks and see which ones you like best.
So throw out those old baggy shirts and slacks and hit the links in style this summer.
