Tattoo Golf Clubhouse Collection Golf Polo Review

Clubhouse Collection by Tattoo Golf – click to enlarge

My friends at Tattoo Golf have done it again. They’ve delivered a very sharp looking, stylish, high quality golf polo in the “Clubhouse Collection.” The Clubhouse Collection has one unique feature I really dig, a bad ass skull. As you can tell from the Hooked On Golf Blog logo, golf and skulls are a great combination in my book. Though the skull is a great feature, this polo has much more to offer. Lets take a closer look at Tattoo Golf’s Clubhouse Collection.

Clubhouse Collection Overview

The $59 (retail) Clubhouse polo features a 100% woven polyester fabric which is silky smooth and comfortable. Being a poly means that this garment is very easy to care for, needing not much more than a machine wash and little to no ironing. And since it isn’t cotton, it won’t shrink.

The fabric is also very breathable, keeping the player cool under the collar (at least physically).

Speaking of cool, this is a very classy design which is bold yet simple.

Even without the subtle skull with cross clubs featured on the upper left side of the chest this shirt is fantastic. With the skull? Killer.

The polo also features side venting which comes in handy on very warm days.

Sizes/Colors

The Clubhouse Collection polo comes in sizes from small to XXXL.

Colors available are black (pictured) and white.

On The Course

The comfort and fit of this polo is fantastic. The fabric is extremely smooth and soft on the skin.

The looks are rocking yet classy enough to wear to the country club. At the country club the subtle skull gets some double-takes from some of the stuffy old cronies. Just what I like.

Performance wise the polo’s great fit doesn’t inhibit the swing in any fashion. Crush drives freely.

Conclusion

Tattoo Golf’s Clubhouse Collection is one of my favorite polos for 2013. The polo scores perfectly on the three primary requirements I have for a golf shirt: performance, comfort and style.

First Look: Dunning Golf Layering System

Yesterday was the final tournament of the year, the annual Hell Day Halloween event. I did play quite well, though I did not take home the cool skull trophy. Part of the reason I played well was because I was testing out the Dunning Golf layering system for the first time.

Dunning Merino Wool Boxer Brief Base Layer

This time of year it can be quite cold here in northern Utah, and having the right apparel is crucial to staying warm and loose, and playing well.

The two layering items I put in play yesterday were the Dunning merino wool long sleeve base layer and the merino wool boxer shorts pictured below.

Dunning Golf Layering System

So far I’m very impressed with the comfort and how well I was able to stay warm yesterday. I’ll put the layering system through a few more HOG test batteries and post my full review soon.

Stay tuned.

Cash Grab in China a.k.a. Tiger vs. Rory – Anyone Really Care?

McIlory wins Chinese cash grab

There was a Chinese cash grab this weekend at Mission Hills, Tiger Woods vs. Rory McIlory. This event is one of many in which the world’s best players fly in on their private jets, play 18 holes, and fill their wheelbarrows up with millions in cash. Ernie Els has even called this season the “wheelbarrow tour.”

Rory beat Tiger for the 2nd year in a row while together they pocketed somewhere around $3.5 million.

I wonder if they had a side bet?

Right now there are a lot of big sporting events going on like college football, NFL football and oh yea, the World Series. (I’m told the World Series is a big event in a sport called baseball, but I’m so focused on golf I’m not really in tune with anything else…).

So tell me… is this type of event of any interest? If so why?
