I’m always on the lookout for golf clothing that matches my lifestyle and personality. I have tried dozens of brands, and Travis Mathew has stood out for years. Their products are stylish, comfortable, and perfect for both on and off the golf course. Recently I couldn’t help notice the killer styling of newly crowned Masters Tournament champion John Rahm, sporting Travis Mathew apparel.

About Travis Mathew

Travis Mathew is a lifestyle brand that was founded in Southern California in 2007. The brand was created by Travis Johnson and Ryan Ellis, who wanted to create clothing that was stylish, comfortable, and perfect for the modern man’s active lifestyle. Over the years, Travis Mathew has become one of the most popular brands in the golf industry, worn by top players like John Rahm.

What I love about Travis Mathew is their attention to detail. Each product is designed with the customer in mind, ensuring that it meets their needs and preferences. The brand’s commitment to quality and innovation has earned them a loyal following in the golf community and beyond.

First Look at the Travis Mathew Heater Polo

The Travis Mathew Heater Polo is one of the brand’s most popular products, and for a good reason. This golf polo is perfect for the modern golfer who wants to look and feel their best on the course. The Heater Polo is available in a range of colors, from classic black to bold red, so you can choose the one that best matches your style. Sizes range from small to XXXL.

The polo is made from 70% Recycled Polyester, 23% Cotton, 7% Spandex. Polyester and Spandex? Back in the 80’s that meant something a bit different than it does now. These days those fabrics translate to comfort and performance. The material is also moisture-wicking, which keeps you cool and dry even on the hottest days.

Performance Features of the Heater Polo for Golf

The Travis Mathew Heater Polo is designed to perform. The polo has a classic design that is perfect for golfers who want to look their best on the course. The polo features a three-button placket, which gives it a timeless look. The collar is also designed to stay in place, so you don’t have to worry about it getting in your way during your swing.

One of the key features of the Heater Polo is its breathability. The polo has a vented back panel that allows air to circulate, keeping you cool and comfortable during your round. The polo also has a UPF 50+ rating, which means that it provides excellent protection from the sun’s harmful rays.

Style

As with all Travis Mathew polos, the Heater oozes class and style. The lines are clean and elegantly simple.

Stay Tuned

Can’t wait to up my style game and put the polo through the rigorous HOG testing battery. Stay tuned for the full review, which I’ll post after I’ve put the Heater through some test rounds, test washings, and probably test spilling salsa on it.


First Look: Three Sixty Six Collarless Golf Polo Shirt

I’m all about supporting the entrepreneurs and small golf companies. I love helping promote and expose cool products in the golf world, from equipment to apparel. Today I’m taking my very first look at shirts by Three Sixty Six.

Men’s Quick-Dry Collarless Golf Polo

Very interesting design. It’s a collarless, but has a sort of a mock collar. Will the country club collar police approve?  Probably.

Here are some highlights from Three Sixty Six

  • 100% Polyester
  • Button closure
  • Machine Wash
  • DRY FIT AND ANTI-ODOR TECHNOLOGY – Designed with moisture-wicking fabric, Three Sixty Six’s mens golf shirts wick sweat away from your skin and evaporate it, keeping you cool, dry and comfortable on and off the golf course.
  • LIGHTWEIGHT AND BREATHABLE GOLF SHIRTS FOR MEN – Made with ultra-soft jersey fabric, this mens polo shirt is lightweight and breathable, giving you maximum ventilation and allowing you to keep cool during those hot days on the golf course.
  • COLLARLESS AND RAGLAN DESIGN – These polos are designed with a modern collarless look, a button up placket, and a hidden button flap for extra sleekness. Not only that, these polo shirts are considered raglans, which have sleeves that stretch fully to the collar in one piece allowing you to extend your arms with full mobility.
  • LIGHTWEIGHT AND BREATHABLE – Made with 100% polyester, this mens collarless golf polo shirt is thin to the skin but made with maximum durability and extreme breathability. Features a thinly striped design embedded into the fabric and side vents for better mobility and style.

As far as I can tell, there are somewhere between 19-24 colors. Depends on what website you go to. The sizes range from small to XXXX-Large! Big boys rejoice!

Non Stock Photo

I always try to post my own images, but I struggle getting decent apparel shots. That is why I included a stock photo above. I think this polo is better looking in person than the stock photo!

I haven’t even tried this on yet, but I already can tell I’m going to dig it. The fabric is super soft and it’s obviously going to fit comfortably.

Stay tuned for my pending review. I’ll put it through a few cycles and see how it performs!

As an avid golf fan, I eagerly anticipate the Masters Tournament each year. The Masters is the first major championship of the year, and it’s held at the prestigious Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. Wednesday’s practice round is a great way to get a glimpse of the world’s best golfers as they prepare for the tournament. In this article, I’ll give you a rundown of what to expect at the Masters Tournament Wednesday.

Masters Augusta

History of the Masters Tournament

The Masters Tournament is steeped in tradition and history. The tournament was first held in 1934 and has been held annually ever since, except for a few years during World War II. The tournament is known for its iconic green jacket, which is awarded to the winner each year. The green jacket has become a symbol of excellence in the golfing world and is highly coveted by professional golfers.

Overview of the Course at Augusta National Golf Club

The course at Augusta National Golf Club is one of the most beautiful and challenging courses in the world. The course was designed by golf legend Bobby Jones and architect Alister MacKenzie and opened for play in 1933. The course features rolling hills, towering trees, and manicured greens that are a joy to play on.

Notable Players to Watch – Tiger Woods, Rory McIlory, Phil Mickelson

The Masters Tournament always attracts the world’s best golfers, but there are a few players who are always worth watching. Tiger Woods is a five-time Masters champion and is always a favorite to win.

Will Tiger Break Jack’s record? I might break your jaw if you ask that question one more time…

Rory McIlroy is another player who is always in contention at the Masters. Phil Mickelson, a three-time Masters champion, is also a player to watch.

New Developments in the PGA Tour – LIV Golf and Greg Norman’s Involvement

There have been some new developments in the PGA Tour recently, including the launch of LIV Golf, a new golf league that aims to rival the PGA Tour. Greg Norman, a former world number one golfer, is involved in the league and has been vocal about his support for it. It will be interesting to see how this new league develops and what impact it will have on the PGA Tour.

Schedule of Events for Wednesday’s Tournament

The Masters Tournament Wednesday is a day full of events and activities. The practice round begins at 8:30 am, and golfers will be on the course throughout the day. The Par 3 Contest, a fun event where golfers play a short course with family and friends, takes place in the afternoon.

What to Expect from the Practice Rounds

The practice rounds at the Masters Tournament Wednesday are a great way to see the world’s best golfers up close. The players will be working on their swings, putting, and getting a feel for the course. It’s a great opportunity to see how the players handle the challenging course at Augusta National Golf Club. One thing to keep in mind is that the players won’t be playing at full speed, so don’t expect to see them hitting every shot with full power.

Insider Tips for Attending the Masters Tournament

Attending the Masters Tournament can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but it can also be overwhelming if you’re not prepared. Here are a few insider tips to help you make the most of your experience:

  • Wear comfortable shoes – you’ll be doing a lot of walking!
  • Bring sunscreen and a hat – the Georgia sun can be brutal.
  • Bring cash – many vendors at the tournament only accept cash.
  • Be respectful of the course – Augusta National Golf Club is a private club, and they take great pride in their course. Don’t litter or damage the property, and be mindful of the rules and regulations.

Recap of Previous Masters Tournament Wednesdays

Over the years, there have been many memorable moments at the Masters Tournament Wednesday. In 1963, Jack Nicklaus played a practice round with Arnold Palmer, and a lifelong friendship was born. In 1997, Tiger Woods played his first Masters Tournament and set a new course record with a score of 18 under par. In 2019, the Par 3 Contest was canceled due to bad weather, the first time in the tournament’s history.

Conclusion and Anticipation for the Upcoming Tournament

The Masters Tournament Wednesday is a great way to kick off the tournament and get a glimpse of the world’s best golfers. I can’t wait to see who comes out on top this year and who will be awarded the iconic green jacket. Whether you’re there in person or watching from home, the Masters Tournament is a must-see event for any golf fan.
