There’s a big golf tournament in town this week. Called the Byron Nelson. And it got us thinking... about your pants. And hats. And caddies. And how whether you’re playing or spectating, you could use some of each. So, herewith... some of each.
Lord Byron was a pretty natty dresser. Argyle sweaters. Cashmere caps. Impeccably tied ties. So to honor the man himself, try one of these bespoke hats from the House of MacGregor. They’ll stitch you a custom cap that’ll keep your face shaded on the course. That ought to help the ol’ handicap.
Since wearing shorts on the course is more of a Q-School thing, you might like this pair of madras leg holsters from Bills Khakis. They’re lightweight, they’re breathable, and they make you really easy to spot should Bubba Watson need a swing tip. Or need to borrow your pants.
Four days of golf... that’s a lot of walking. And standing. And just generally being upright. So good shoes seem like a sound investment. Like these Italian-made suede brogues from Rye 51. They’ve got that stylish, wear-with-anything look the Italians are famous for. Well, that and gelato.
Golf grips are pretty important. Help you grip the club and swing and whatnot. So try these American-made leather ones from Pebble + Pine. They’re genuine cowhide infused with weatherproof ProTac, which ought to keep you from throwing your driver. Actually, that may be more of a temper issue...
It’s possible you’re actually playing this week. Or maybe you’d just like some extra company while you watch on 17. Either way, you should hire a caddie. He’ll read your putts, hold your bag (or beverage) and generally make you better at golf. He’s cool like that.
