3 Pures From The PGA Show

So, I am back from a terrific Golf Show in Orlando  - There really was a buzz in the air this year - rounds played were up in 2012, Callaway are back with style and once again I have selected three Pure products that fit the style and ethos of our site.

True Linkswear

It's no secret I am a big fan of this company. The True guys created a new category of walkable, comfortable shoes and naturally all the other big boys have jumped on the bandwagon. Nike, adidas, Footjoy all have their low profile version, but none are as good as the original Trues. In 2013 they have  introduced a couple of exciting new designs - I particularly like the look of the Chukka, with a little more height for those rainy days when only a walk will do! Read More Here.

Callaway's new X Hot Pro 3 wood

A new golf club on the golf purist? Yes, it does happen if I see one that is true to itself and free of all the horrendous graphics that are popping up on golf clubs. The flashes and geometric designs from Nike, Adams and Taylormade won't last - they do nothing other than distract the eye.

For a gorgeous clean golf club take a look at the new Callaway X Hot Pro 3 wood. I have the wonderful old X Hot 3 wood in my bag from 2006 and it is my "go to club"  - I don't think Callaway has ever made a better golf club - who knows - maybe the new X Hot Pro 3 could takes its place.

G/Fore Golf Shoes

More footwear, this time from world famous fashion designer, Mossimo Giannulli. Last year he added color to the boring old white golf glove, but kept it pure by choosing beautiful colors. This year he has added shoes to the line and come up with contemporary colors to add some verve to the fairways. They are coming soon, so keep your eye on his website here 

3 Pure Products from the PGA Show

It was a PGA show with something we haven't felt in a few years...buzz! And amongst the buzz were some really cool and pure products. Here are 3 "pures" that caught my eye.

1. G-Fore Golf Gloves. Yes, that is the suave Marty Hackel on their booth. If it's possible to be as equally well dressed as Mr. Style, then Mossimo Giannulli, the owner of G-Fore pulls it off. Mr. Giannulli's company does one thing - it makes beautiful golf gloves in all the colors of the rainbow. You can see the company's website here. No, they are not cheap at $35, but imagine the statement you make teeing it up with one of these wonderfully rich hued gloves.

2. TRUE Linkswear. It's no secret that I love "TRUES" and this year the company has somehow managed to improve the shoes and even extended the line into 3 price points. The PHX, named, I guess after their new office location is $99, The TOUR is $149 and The Stealth is $199. Playing golf and walking in these shoes is such a delight and they really feel like playing golf in barefeet. The picture above is the new TOUR in white with a green sole and yes, they are on order!

3. Seamus Golf Head Covers. When I saw these I fell in love with them! Made in Oregon and in very limited batches per design, these are the epitome of Pure! I have 3 already. They are currently available only through ETSY here and if you like a particular style, buy it, because it may never be made again! I hear their website at www.seamusgolf.com will soon have a store too. You can see it here.

TRUE Linkswear Auction for some pure shoes...sweet

Our favorite shoe company, TRUE Linkswear, has come up with a cool idea - auction off all their 2011 samples, (including some in crazy colors) to benefit The First Tee. Great idea, well executed with 501 Auctions and I have already started bidding - well, I'm not going to tell you on which ones am I!
You can see the auction and bid here.
