The LA Daily News has a short article on the founder ofTartan Golf Grips, a new company which makes --- golf grips in tartan designs, of course.

Nice idea.

Unfortunately, my family tartan is fairly hard to get. We are part of the Stewarts, so that is really easy to get.

I think this would just depress me though. My dad, uncle, and I played in a charity scramble at a scottish festival, and our fourth was a friend of my dad’s who was one of the headline acts for the festival, and is actually Scottish. This guy was wearing a marvelous kilt, which was the Scottish Modern blue Tartan, with a “X” across the back (It matched his Callaway X clubs and bag). He looked fantastic. That day I decided I really wanted to wear a kilt at least in scrambles, until I found out that his was probably around a thousand bucks. You can’t get a kilt for under about 400-500! So I don’t want anything tartan to remind me that I can’t afford to wear a kilt when I play.
