It was a gorgeous fall day here in Connecticut on Sunday, so I decided it was time to face the music and invite Ernestine Driver (capricious vixen) and my friend, Georges, to join me on the range at a nearby golf course. True confession: I didn't play one drop of golf this summer. What in the world????? Yes. Between the renovation-from-hell…

My earliest memories of loving everything to do with design were weekends spent with my father, the architect, at his office, drawing. There were always deadlines for his various projects, so weekends at work were pretty standard routine for him. I was his willing and happy confrère. I loved to draw (still do), so his office was a magical place…

So. When your older brother is a PGA golf instructor and single-digit handicapper, the advice he offers on anything to do with golf carries a lot of weight. When I finally took up the game (after years of urging), he patiently sat in the cart, closeby, barking set-up instructions: "Grip!" "Feet!" "Target!" "Head Down!" You know the drill. But the…

Equipt’s ten-year anniversary snuck up on me. Not sure how that happened, a bit like my latest birthday, but cause for remembrance and celebration. If you’ve read our backstory you know about the bunion and the dream, my quest for comfortable golf shoes and my obsession with golf fashion... (more…)

"If I try to be like you, who will be like me?" This line comes from Julia Alvarez's latest book and my answer to her is no one, I hope. There are so many ways to express your one true self and buck the herd, but it takes a little effort and attention. And some vision. What do the choices you…

Staying close to home has opened our eyes to how we work, live and play these days. I'm talking about right now. The introspection that sheltering in place has invited challenges us to balance sanity, productivity and making the best of things as they stand - with the attendant uncertainty that the pandemic drags in its wake. And since golf is…

Give thanks for technology...FaceTime, Skype, Zoom. I know...boohoo...it's spring and we can't play golf. Trust me, I'm as itchy as you are to break out the clubs and walk the links. You may have noticed that I sell women's golf shoes, so needless to say, Covid-19 is not great for business. But hey, I'm not in this alone, and neither are…

Fire and wire your brain with new challenges, like pattern recognition. Neuroscientists will tell you you're never too old to learn something new or wire new pathways in your brain. As we all now know, meditation and mindfulness are two excellent ways to grow more gray matter. They're all about focus. Games like golf are a grand form of mindfulness…

“What a wonderful thing a sunny day!” Indeed. It’s hard to improve on sunshine, walking a beautiful course, and frolicking with friends at the Nineteenth Hole. I’m way more forgiving of the inconsistencies in my golf game these days and enjoy myself more when I just r e l a a a x and forget the score card. That said, improvement…

New site. New Office. New home. After almost 30 years in Sag Harbor, Equipt, Daffodil and I moved to New Haven, Connecticut. It was high time for a change - a refresh - and 2018 was the pivot point. I'd been giving a lot of thought to the future and how I wanted to help it unfold, and New Haven…
