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.

Review of Golden Tour golf slots game

July 24, 2013 /

When it comes to the most popular sports, golf has to be one of those which rank right up there at the very top, as it’s appeal has spread across much of the world. This global appeal explains why there are so many golfing themed casino slots games, because obviously there is a sizable customer base of golf betting fans eager for inventive slots games combining these two passions. One of these golfing games is Golden Tour, which is a five reel slot with video graphics, but is it a game that hits the fairway or the rough?

The game certainly boasts genuine visual appeal, as reels full of such familiar golf paraphernalia as shoes, bags, carts and balls are set against a backdrop of a golf course on a sunny, blue sky day. This is oddly calming for a sporting slot, many of which opt to try and suggest raw excitement with their graphics, but it is attractive and provides an interesting contrast with most sports slots layouts. The golden double golf ball reel icons are also the wild icons for this game, and they can replace either the bronze or silver golf ball ones on a reel to give you a winning line.

The bonus games offered by Golden Tour are another area where the game really score highly, as they combine the virtues of being entertaining in their own right and also increasing your chances of winning something playing the slot. The first of these is activated when you get at least three duck, gopher or fish icons, and sees you choosing an iron, putter or driver club for the golfer – and you win a bonus prize based on the quality of his shot. The other bonus game is called Dollar Ball, and this gives you the chance to play for a progressive jackpot, as you choose any five numbers between 49 and 1, spin the reels, and win a payout based on how many of those numbers pop up on the reels. Between high quality graphics, two fun bonus games and a strong chance of winning something, it is no wonder that Golden Tour has scored a hole in one with golf fans. You can play these games and some of the other best mobile casinos at MobileCasino.mobi.

Putting key to Phil Mickelson victory at British Open

July 22, 2013 /

The importance of putting was driven home again at the 2013 British Open, as Phil Mickelson was on fire and Tiger Woods continued to struggle with his putter. For Mickelson, this victory gave him his first British Open championship and his fifth major. Mickelson may not be the most consistent golfer of his generation, but he’s certainly dominant at times when his game comes together. He birdied four of the last six holes for his come-from-behind victory as Lee Westwood faded as some predicted.

Meanwhile, Woods is naturally being scrutinized from every possible angle. Many writers are focusing on the fact that Woods has never come from behind on Sunday to win a major championship, but that hardly seems like the most important factor. No, his putter has been letting him down, and that’s keeping him from winning the big ones. When Woods was piling up wins, he was one of the best putters in history. And while he’s facing inuries and some of the same struggles golfers face as they get older, his biggest problem seems to be with his putter. He’s still good, but good is a long way from great.

This only highlights the mental aspect of the game, and we all know that Tiger has had more than his share of distractions. One that comes to mind is the drama with his old caddy Steve Williams. The two shook hands after the conclusion of the Open Championship on Sunday at Muirfield after Tiger was paired up with Adam Scott, and it looked like the beginning of the end of a silly feud, but you have to wonder if the unflappable Woods was flapped around a bit having to play with them on Sunday. We’ll never know of course, but we’re well beyond the point where a Woods victory was assumed by the handicappers setting the golf odds for majors.

Tiger has to deal with an adversary in Mickelson who refuses to fade away. Phil still can’t get over the hump at the US Open, but it’s tough to count him out these days, and he’s pushing himself into the conversation regarding golf’s all-time greats. There’s also a slew of younger golfers in the game who aren’t the least bit intimidated by Woods, who hasn’t won a major in five years!

So it’s great for golf that Tiger is in the mix, but the landscape has certainly changed.
