Muirfield Wants A Do-Over On Vote To Admit Women

Muirfield Wants A Do-Over On Vote To Admit Women
Ok. It's no secret that a lot of Brits are in shock and awe that their votes to exit the European Union actually had consequences. Like leaving the European Union. There's plenty of talk today about a new referendum, a magic do-over, pretty pleeeeeease, to acknowledge the real-time, real-life consequences of unfiltered, unconsidered social-media consumption. Major, honking OOPS. And now, folks, this just in from Golf Digest: "The Honourable…

CITY LIVING – New York

CITY LIVING – New York
If you can walk five miles on a golf course in comfort in our shoes, you can swan around Manhattan in them, too. Grab coffee. Catch the latest exhibit at The Met. Hang out with your best friend, who in this case, just happens to be your sister.

THERE IS DIVINITY IN TOLERANCE

THERE IS DIVINITY IN TOLERANCE
The students of Bridgehampton High School organized a vigil for Orlando last week. As we all felt helpless, and useless, in the face of this tragedy, there was solace in gathering with friends and acquaintances to bear witness. Drivers honked their horns in solidarity as they drove by, while neighbors of all ages and faiths joined together in this solemn march up Main Street. In…

SUMMER IN THE HAMPTONS

SUMMER IN THE HAMPTONS
  Many of you have heard of the Hamptons, that putative playground of the rich and famous, and think that summer must be glamorous yacht loads of fun in a place like this. Beach blanket bingo on a luxe scale. Yes, Kim K. and her entourage take over main street in Southampton whenever they swooooop in, and Sag Harbor shares its sidewalks with the likes…

EVER GOLFED AND NOT KEPT SCORE?

EVER GOLFED AND NOT KEPT SCORE?
  Golf is a game. It’s play. It’s what we do to relax - and when there's no scoring involved - it's pure fun. The last league I played in was so rabidly competitive that creative score-keeping was disturbingly common. One player was so notorious for consistently (one might say, miraculously) finding 'lost' balls, that after winning the league championship one season, she…

WOMEN DENIED MEMBERSHIP AT MUIRFIELD | Royal & Ancient Steps Up

WOMEN DENIED MEMBERSHIP AT MUIRFIELD | Royal & Ancient Steps Up
As the Brits would say, I'm gobsmacked. The R&A has moved into the 21st Century by dropping Muirfield from it's British Open golf championship rotation until they get with the program. Its members voted against admitting women. Again. The vote was close, so there may be hope for these gents yet. If they're anything like their brethren at Augusta, though, this may take…

FINALLY. SOME COLOR.

FINALLY. SOME COLOR.
Hate to say I told you so, but I've been talking about color and golf ever since I started this company. It's only taken the industry six years to catch up, but better late than never, right? Our red madras Wing Tips don't look quite so outré anymore.    

THE CAKE THAT’S WORTH 10,000 STEPS

THE CAKE THAT’S WORTH 10,000 STEPS
Alright, you may well ask what a luscious looking apple-walnut cake is doing here? Well, it's about indulging once in awhile - walking 10,000 steps when you do - about good living, pleasure and connecting with friends. Just like the game of golf. Are you with me? So, I was invited to a potluck dinner the other night and volunteered for dessert duty.... Martha Stewart was channeling me,…

MARDI’S TEE PARTY | Wine, Women & Equipt for play in Payson, AZ

MARDI’S TEE PARTY | Wine, Women & Equipt for play in Payson, AZ
I've said it before. I'll say it again. What could be better than wine, women and shoes? Not that shoes are all we offered our Tee Party guests in Payson, Arizona, last Monday, but they certainly contributed to the convivial mood. (Show me a woman who doesn't have a shoe-sickness and I'll show you someone who's had a sex-change operation. Could…

SUNNY SCOTTSDALE HOSTS ITS FIRST TEE PARTY

SUNNY SCOTTSDALE HOSTS ITS FIRST TEE PARTY
Just as the Phoenix Open wound down its festivities, Equipt-Direct Tee Party By Invitation headed to Scottsdale last Wednesday for a gathering of golfing women. Good timing. Everyone was ready to turn their attention to their personal golf gear and see what's new for spring 2016. These women share a love of golf and (apparently) the 19th Hole, wherever it may be. Here, the post-round glass of wine, good…
