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!

    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
