These days, I like to snag one thing at every place (that's awesome) I play - like to have stuff with logos of courses I play if possible. It's usually a polo or a hat. Most nice courses have a solid selection of gear and I've typically only snagged Nike stuff, but wondering if people have thoughts on what brands they like for polos and other gear. Curious what are generally the best brands...I've found a solid fit for the most part with Nike polos, but I always see other brands like FJ, Cutter & Buck, Peter Milar etc.

So my questions are what brands do you typically like to go for when you buy at pro shops? Goin down to Sea Island and a couple other courses in the next few months I'd want to snag some token gear at.

Most of my golf apparel is Callaway, from polos and sweaters, to hats and jackets. I have a few adidas polos I've gotten as gifts as well. Both brands are really solid.

That said, I'd never buy apparel in golf shops. So over-priced.

Dom's Sticks:

Callaway X-24 10.5° Driver, Callaway Big Bertha 15° wood, Callaway XR 19° hybrid, Callaway X-24 24° hybrid, Callaway X-24 5i-9i, PING Glide PW 47°/12°, Cleveland REG 588 52°/08°, Callaway Mack Daddy PM Grind 56°/13°, 60°/10°, Odyssey Versa Jailbird putter w/SuperStroke Slim 3.0 grip, Callaway Chev Stand Bag, Titleist Pro-V1x ball

I like the brands which offer comfort and functional features.

Shirts with sleeves that are too snug around the shoulder and arms, drive me nuts.

I prefer shirts which are made from blends of polyester/spandex (summer comfort)

Peter Millar, Footjoy, Nike, CB, Ashworth, Norman, Nicklaus are a few of my favorite brands.

I'll usually pickup a few items when on golf trips.

yup there's definitely a premium but if the course is legit enough i like to take something home. was just wondering what other good brands people like out there that are often offered in shops. i always go for the nike stuff since i trust the fit, but was just wondering if the other brands are solid. rarely see callaway stuff though.

I also used to buy something from the pro shop at nice courses with their logo. I usually try to find their clearance rack for a polo ir sweater. If not, then I get a hat/visor or something under $30. I never had a bad experience with most pro shop apparel brands but I like wicking type materials (Dri-Fit, Clima-Cool, etc) and short sleeves without elastic at the arm opening.

I'm too cheap to pay full retail for shirts and hats. I find nice golf shirts at thrift stores for like $2. I found several Nike Dri-fit golf shirts for next to nothing.

I like galvin green & j lindeberg clothing, the quality, fit, & materials they use are pretty golf specific, and although are slightly more expensive, they look well and last longer when cared for!

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
