Winter Chill

Much of the country is dealing with freezing temperatures.  Todays high in Johnstown was a balmy 14 degrees.  Not the best golf weather. Makes me wish for warmer temperature and blue skis.  The deep freeze looks to continue through the weekend so I will have to get my golf fix by watching the professionals.

The European Tour had a Wednesday start this week in Qatar at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters.  Since the start was at 3am or something like that EST, and I was at work for the replay, I did not get to check out a lot of the fashion choices.  When watching the highlights I did get to see the leader Ricardo Santos.

The outfit is fine.  I am a huge fan of stripes and I love blue stripes.  I just think blue looks good on the course and translates well on television.  Plus stripes to me is a quintessential golf.  Everyone should have a good striped golf shirt in the closet.  Plus stripes is an easy way to add color in any outfit.  Plus you can usually wear stripe shirts with khaki or white shorts or pants.  I know most golfers are overloaded with khaki bottoms.  Break a way from the solid color shirts and add some interest with strips.  

Tomorrow starts the Show Days of the PGA Merchandise Show.  Over the next couple of weeks I am going to explore some of the 2013 golf clothing and shoe collections.  But today I want to talk about one of the vendors that will be at the show: Insta Golf (http://instagolf.net/).  I was exploring the vendors at this year's show, and came across this gem.  The company states: "Transform any shoe into a high performance golf shoe."  Insta Golf is like a shoe glove with golf spikes you can put on any one of your sneakers.  I can not speak to the design or fit of the Insta Golf shoe.  You can get Insta Golf in a multitude of colors.  Insta Golf shoes are approximately $40.  I recommend spending the $40 on an actual pair of golf shoes; you will guarantee fit and comfort.  A changeable sole will never be the same as an actual shoe.  Plus if you wait to the end of the season (fall, early winter), golf shoes go on sale.  I buy most of my golf shoes at this time, and I easily spend less than forty dollars per shoe on top named brands.
