14 Golf Things Available On SkyMall

February 2015
Perhaps you heard that SkyMall, the ubiquitous catalog tucked along with air sickness bags in your plane seat pockets, is no longer going to be published. This is a huge loss to travelers everywhere. This thing was entertaining and a great time killer on a long flight. We decided to look into it one last time to see what products golfers will no longer get to peruse while flying (SkyMall's website remains). We give you: The 14 super-necessary golf products that you won't be able to look at in SkyMall anymore.

I heard that too.  Right in the first sentence of the Golf Digest article that the OP displayed. ;-)

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I see that it says they won't publish the catalog anymore, but I don't see where it says the company is going bankrupt.  It also mentions that the website will remain.

That's what I get for trying to be a smart aleck.

They have filed for Chapter 11, laid off most employees, had their CEO resign, and have had most of their airline carriage contracts cancelled. They're toast.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
