January Sales!
After the Christmas festivities, many of us look forward to the January Sales. Whether it be upgrading your entertainment system or sprucing up the house we are all after a great deal. The same can be said for the golfing industry where January can yield some great deals on the hottest products. This month we will be highlighting some of the must-haves for 2018. January is also the month of the PGA Merchandise show in Orlando, Florida. This is where many of the leading manufacturers release their latest products. If you have the time I would highly recommend attending. The PGA Show runs from January 24th -26th and is open to PGA Professionals and the public. I like to think of it as an Aladdin’s Cave filled with the latest golf equipment. I hope by either reading this or attending the PGA Merchandise show, it will help you start the new season off in style.

2) Leupold
Leupold is a brand that provides golfers with accurate distances to improve the level of your game. It’s just like having your own personal caddy yet at no additional cost per round. A big reason why Leupold rangefinders are one of the best in the industry is because of the brands history in scope and recording devices.
“HELL! I COULD BUILD A BETTER SCOPE THAN THIS!”
Legend has it that while hunting one day, Marcus Leupold missed a buck because his scope fogged up. He swore he could make a better scope, and that’s just what he did. As time went by the Leupold team took what they had learned from scope design and introduced it into a rangefinder to be used for golf purposes.
In 2010 Leupold Golf was born. It uses the same characteristics as the traditional scopes that Leupold are famous for but maximized it for the modern-day golfer. The True Golf Range ballistics software computes the flight path of the golf ball based on atmospheric conditions and angle of the shot.
The GX-5i3 with Leupold’s high performance DNA® (Digitally eNhanced Accuracy™) engine and advanced infrared laser provides faster measurements and increased accuracy displayed to the nearest 1/10 of a yard. Featuring TGR and Club Selector, which can be disabled for tournament play per updated USGA rule 14-3, the GX-5i3 provides ranging information and club recommendations based on personal hitting strength, slope, and current environmental conditions.

4) Players Towel
A golf towel that cleans your grooves is something every golfer needs. Players Towel’s simple, yet effective design stands out from its competitors. This product is something that you or the recipient will really enjoy using and with the customizable options will avoid help you avoid losing it.
As a part-time professional caddie, Patrick Le Vine needed a towel that would perform for 18 holes. He looked everywhere for properly sized towels with adequate absorption. The best towels available were only at certain hotels (white towel w/blue or green stripe), which he sought out while on tour. In an attempt to give athletes, the perfect towel for high performance, he decided to create his own. Input was received from tour caddies, tour players and top amateurs. The result was a product perfect for cleaning clubs, balls and other equipment to promote better play, yet gentle enough to clean your glasses. Players Towel was launched!
Patrick got his towels into the hands of players and caddies he knew, and they loved the towel so much, many insisted on using only Players Towel. It even became a good luck charm for some of those pros. Used by the game’s top players, Players Towel has been seen on the winner’s bag in all the major golf tours including: the U.S. Open, The Masters, The PGA Championship, WGC Championship, Evian Masters, the PGA, and LPGA Tour Championships.
Players Towel is constantly innovating and only utilizing the highest quality materials, so they can consistently provide the best possible sports towel.
See why this towel is the best.
