Dry And Mighty

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:54:01 +0000

Despite the name always invoking unwanted memories of the 1973 FA Cup Final Sunderland is one of the cornerstone brand names when it comes to weather-specific golf apparel (and at least they have the courtesy of sticking the 'of Scotland' bit on the end, to soften the blow).

It's no surprise that Sunderland understands the needs of golfers as it's been around for the best part of 80 years, but the rec...

The Week In Golf

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 08:38:12 +0000

March 8, 1992: Raymond Floyd matched Sam Snead's record of 29 years between his first and last PGA Tour tour victories by sneaking past Fred Couples to win the Doral-Ryder Open. Some achievement just 12 weeks after his Florida home was practically burned to the ground, with three decades of golf memorabilia going up in smoke.

March 9, 1950: Andy North (pictured), a two-time US Open champion, was born in Thorp, Wisconsin and became one of the oddest statistical anomalies...

A Mouthguard For Golfers?!

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 15:56:56 +0000

Around our way, Under Armour is best known for clothing the rugby team that likes to turn up for the second-half of international matches. Wales, that is. Under Armour is massive in US sport - you'll have seen tons of product placement in The Wire, too.

The more eagle-eyed among you may also have noticed that a growing army of golfers is wearing the kit, with Ross Fisher arguably the highest-profile UK player and Hunter Mahan, winner of the 2010 Phoenix Open, one of Under...

Cleveland Golf CG1 Tour Irons

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 15:04:34 +0000

These babies would cause golfers to swoon at the merest sight of a set of them in their local golf club emporium. The challenge for Cleveland Golf, of course, is a lot greater than it was when founder Roger Cleveland was designing clasic replicas. Now the company has to come up with blades that look this good and have a level of playability that would never even be considered possible a The split cavity-back long irons and muscle-back mid/short irons maintain a generation ago.

Cleveland Golf HB3 Irons

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 15:01:55 +0000

There's a simplicity and elegance that Cleveland Golf is renowned for. Company founder Roger Cleveland established the company 1979 by designing replicas of classic golf clubs. That's not to say that Cleveland is averse to innovation and the new HB3 Hybrid Irons are clearly a million miles away from the world of the beautiful-looking blade with the sweet-spot the size of a petit pois.
The new HB3 irons, are Cleveland Golf’s third generation of HiBORE irons and claim to be lighter, faste...

Mizuno's Longer Woods

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 17:10:48 +0000

It's fair to say that Mizuno doesn't get a lot of love when it comes to its range of woods and hybrid clubs, simply because the Japanese golf club manufacturer is renowned as the world's greatest manufacturer of forged irons and wedges. If you don't believe us, check out Mizuno's comprehensive explanation why the standards it sets are as high as any other - and best of luck trying to find fault with that...

Galvin Green Performance Wear

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 10:09:49 +0000

We can't deny it - we're suckers for science. Not the E=MC squared kind, but the science that keeps you dry when it's raining stair-rods and you're lying dormie with a six-iron in your hand staring down a tricky approach shot to a two-tiered green. That's precisely the point when you don't want to be distracted by a trickle of cold rain down the back of your neck.

We find it hugely comforting that Galvin Green's Performance Shell water proof golf clothing use Gore-Tex. They're...
