IMPERIAL POWERED BY COOLCORE® HATS NOW AT PRO SHOPS

Cooling Technology Lowers Fabric Temperature Up to 30 Percent Below Skin Temperature
BOURBON, MO – Imperial Headwear has announced that its Imperial Powered by Coolcore® hatshave begun hitting pro shop shelves. Introduced in January at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, the products have been well received by the many golf professionals who have experienced them.

“The most anticipated golf headwear of the season is now available at better golf shops across

the country,” says David Shaffer, Director of Marketing at ImperialHeadwear. “Cooling fabrics are definitely the next trend in performance fabrics and Imperial is excited to be the first company to bring this industry-leading Coolcore technology to the golf market,” says Shaffer.

Coolcore® provides a cooling solution that extends beyond traditional moisture-management fabrics or evaporative cooling technologies that typically rely on chemicals. It’s 100% free of chemicals, polymers, gels, crystals or phase changing materials, ensuring all Coolcore® benefits never wash out or degrade. And, Coolcore® fabrics deliver three distinct functions, including moisture wicking, moisture transportation to accelerate drying, and regulated evaporation for a cooling effect. The result is up to 30% lower surface temperatures, drier garments that don’t cling or saturate, healthier chemical-free usage, and zero degradation of the cooling effect over time or washing. Coolcore® is the only company globally to receive the “Cooling Power” award from Hohesntein.

“Imperial’s new cooling technology has the potential to change the headwear business,” said Laura Robinson, Director of Retail at Pinehurst Resort. “The Pinehurst team saw their demonstration and we were all amazed at how this can be incorporated into headwear designs. Imperial impresses me with their innovation in the accessory category.”

The Imperial Powered by Coolcore® collection consists of nine headwear styles, over 50 SKU’s, and ranges from caps and visors to small fit and sun protection hats.For more information on Imperialpowered by Coolcore® products, please click on video below.

Gross Match Round One – One and Done

While I was playing a gross match in my men’s league Tiger shot 80 at the U.S. Open.  I beat him by five shots today… Yes yes I’ll surely catch grief about how the courses we played are different.  That is true.  Tiger played a par-70 course and I played a par-72 course… 🙂

In all seriousness I have but a few comments about my gross match, which I lost.  I don’t feel bad really.  I was killing the ball today.  Between the super hot conditions and hitting it pure, I was bombing shots way over the green.  One uphill shot of 112 I hit my sand wedge 30 yards long, and no I didn’t blade it.  On one hole I was 260 out and hit a hybrid over the universe. It must have gone 290.

The match today was between two players of almost exact same handicaps, so it should have been tight and it was.  My crappy short game was to blame for losing a couple of holes and not winning a couple of others, but I still managed a 75.   My opponent somehow did a Houdini impersonation, making pars from situations I would have guaranteed I’d make bogey.

The match was never more than one-up or one-down for the two of us all day, and the last four holes were all square.  On the final hole I pulled my approach from 109 to a hillside left of the green, short-sided.  I’m not sure even Phil Mickelson could have saved par from there, and I certainly did not.  My opponent had an easy two-putt to win the match on the 18th hole.

I could be mad but I’m not.  My achilles heel, short game, was the reason I didn’t win.  Until I fix that, this is about as good as it is going to be.

Hitting those solid shots felt good, despite the loss.

Fox Sports is taking a beating for its golf broadcasts from many out there who think they can do better or know better.  Hat’s off to Fox Sports for introducing drone coverage to the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay.  As a “drone pilot” and builder of several unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) myself, I’m stoked to see some new looks.

I’m miffed that Fox Sports didn’t hire me to do this gig though.  I have to be the world’s best combination golf/drone authority.

It’s one of the most amazing times of the year in golf.  It’s AMERICA’S CHAMPIONSHIP!  Every one of the world’s greatest players is in action, trying to capture a major championship at Chambers Bay, a course which has been a huge topic of discussion.  There are SO many great storylines and things to cover, yet Golf.com is covering “hot wives and gilrfriends.”

This is truly mindblowing.  I’m sorry but this is downright stupid.  I can’t get over the fact that it is US OPEN WEEK, but they have to post is drivel.

It’s not just mindblowing, it is sad.  I guess this link bait is how they keep the lights on through drive-by T&A gawkers?  If that’s the case they should just hang it up, or go full TMZ.

You know what’s great about having a blog?  Being able to write whatever words I want.  Today’s word is douche.  The photo below is a perfect representation of what a douche does on the golf course.

I’m guessing this is the same guy that turned around yelled a bunch of F-bombs back at us when we yelled ahead, asking him to take less that 27 minutes reading one putt…
