Underarmour Abernathy Golf Shirt

I like the texture of these. Even better: they’re made of an anti-microbial and moisture transfer material. 

FOOTJOY Wintersof Glove-Blk

Grade: A

I went shopping for a new pair of cold weather gloves last week (I can’t find last year’s anywhere) and discovered that Footjoy has redesigned their WinterSof line. It’s a marked improvement in both comfort and performance over the previous model.

The literature on the Footjoy and golf shop sites is a bit confusing. What they describe is not what I bought.

These gloves are the ones pictured above, with the double elasticized cuffs, and a circular FJ logo on the back. The gloves are a quilted soft fleece-like fabric on the back, and have a material on the palm that feels like suede.

FootJoy, however, claims that there’s a velcro fit strap. There isn’t. They also describe the backing as Thinsulite, and the palms as Cabretta leather. I doubt very seriously if the materials are as described.

But it’s a very good glove. I’ve now played two rounds using them and think they’re the best winter golf gloves I’ve ever worn. My hands stayed nice and warm, but I had no problem feeling the grips. My hands stayed firmly on the clubs. There’s also no bunching in the palms.

Heck, I like them so much, I’m going to get a pair for just wearing around town for driving gloves.

My friends at Golf Locker have a huge new selection of 2008 Footjoy closeouts. Here’s your chance to pick up this year’s models at terrific prices.

My friends at Nick Hotchkiss have a new golf-themed tie.

Pathfinder II Walking Shoes.

As we all know, FootJoy makes some very comfortable golf shoes. As it turns out, they also make men’s walking shoes

Why not? I can walk for miles in complete comfort in my golf shoes. All they had to do to make walkers was to take off the spikes.

I may get a pair of these. Now that I’m back at work, and the days are getting shorter, I go back to walking a mile or so at twilight for exercise in lieu of playing golf.
