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…

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.

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…

  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…

  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…

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…

Before I dig a deep hole here, let me say that I know Paige is a serious golfer. I also suspect she's one smart Cookie (forgive me), since she's figured out how easy it is to get attention in the world of golf. Fake eyelashes and the suggestion of stilettos and you're good to go. It's too bad, though, that it's…

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.    

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,…

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…

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…

We threw a Tee Party By Invitation in Tampa last week, at the home of Carol and Bill Parish. Both happen to be great customers of ours (Bill bought Carol her first pair of our shoes) and Carol wanted to share what we do with her golf league. I hit the road with samples and displays and set up a mini-boutique in…

Ever been at an important juncture in your life and asked for a sign? Preferably a recognizable one? If you have, you'll understand why the one I got  a few weeks ago left little doubt about my fairy godmother's intentions for this little company of mine. Like most entrepreneurs, I have more ideas than funds and have to discipline myself to limit the day-dreaming (new…

I love the game of golf and the camaraderie it breeds, but nothing chaps my cheeks more than people who don't play ready golf. It breaks the rhythm of the game when players can't find or decide which club to use, and when they do, take five practice swings. (I've yet to see a correlation between good golf and the number of practice…

If you’re tired of losing your club covers or trying to figure out which club is underneath that adorable knitted sock with the massive pompom, we have a practical and pretty solution: Name It ! personalized club covers and matching golf accessories. In 3 easy steps you can organize and personalize your golf bag: STEP #1 | Choose a color to match your bag (there…

Our little STASH|mini in vibrant ruby red is the ultimate small bag that goes anywhere. Nothing's more festive than red patent and that's good because the holidays are just around the corner. STASH packs flat for traveling and keeps the contents dry when you're out and about and snow's falling. It holds 6 credit cards, your license, passport, glasses, lip gloss - all the essentials…

This spectator shoe found its way into my imagination after a game of croquet on the lawn in Southampton awhile back. It reminded me of a Merchant Ivory film - the only thing missing was the Pims. In this month's issue of Golf Digest magazine, Paige Spiranac takes this shoe on a playful, modern ride. Sensational. Our model, Cortney, happens to…

  The lovely Paige Spiranac sports our Spectator women's golf shoes in this month's issue of Golf Digest. Looking saucy, Paige!  

Raise your hand if you ever received a gift at a member-guest tournament that you just loved. If you're like me you end up giving away most of the 'gifts' you receive at these events (or heaven forbid, re-gift), because it's usually stuff you don't want or need, it's cheap or let's face it, ugly. Am I right? The budgets the member-guest…
