If the lovely bride isn’t there to do my apparel scripting for me (set my day’s outfit out on the bed), I like to go the Gary Player route. Black. Black matches black. I can remember that. So this black Puma D_Vent golf polo is perfect for those days. It’s also perfect for golf, even in the summer. Here’s why.
This polo features Puma’s dryCELL technology with moisture wicking properties. Moisture wicking is a process where the garment actually pulls moisture away from the wearer’s body. This technology helps keep the player more dry, cool and comfortable. The D_Vent also provides the wearer UV protection from the sun’s radiation.
The 100% polyester fabric is so much more flexible and comfortable than cotton. This fabric feels great in the golf swing and doesn’t restrict, pull, or bind. There’s even a slit or “vent” in the upper back which aids in comfort and provides a place for heat to exit, especially good when one needs to cool down after a 3-putt.
This polo is so comfortable I love wearing it for daily use, off the golf course. Whether I’m at the office crafting incredible golf blog posts or out chasing little Seve around the neighborhood, I’m comfortable, cool, and stylish.
Sizes/Colors
Available colors: black, red, white, orange, “peacot” and blue.
Available sizes: small, medium, large, extra-large, double extra-large
I normally wear an XL and like a comfortable loose fit and Puma’s sizing is right on with that. Accurate. Not “skinny euro” sizing.
Final Thoughts
It’s hard to crank out a 2000 word review on a shirt. But since I picture is worth 1000 words, I came pretty close. Seriously though, this very stylish and affordable ($65) Puma Golf shirt scores perfectly in all the areas I consider important for a golf polo: comfort, style, performance, durability, easy care.
And my color selection, black, matches everything in my wardrobe. No failed apparel scripts.
Happy 4th of July to all Hooked on Golf Blog patrons. Happy birthday to this great country, the USA. We may not be perfect, but the United States of America is still the best country on this planet.
I found this ball yesterday in the rough left of the 12th hole! A great find and even my usual gamer brand…
The weekend grudge match today started out rough, pun intended. I had a new partner and he pretty much carried me the whole front nine. Despite his heroic efforts we were two-down starting the back. I knew I had to pull out the big guns for us to have a chance at coming back.
The latest in the cigar review queue is the Lobotomy by Asylum, courtesy of Famous Smoke shop. I was playing so bad I felt like I’d had a lobotomy. Could this stogie help bring my game back? After analysis of the Lobotomy slogan I was liking my chances:
“With a strength profile that will shock your receptors back to normal, and a flavor as complex as a Rorshach Test, these cigars will ease your stress and help you relax like never before. Get your Lobotomy now. Er… Asylum Lobotomy that is.”
Lobotomy Info
Strength: Medium-full
Filler: Aged cuban seed tobaccos
Wrapper: Nicaraguan
As usual, I gave my opponents the opportunity to surrender before I powered up the Lobotomy. Their mistake was not accepting the offer. Upon my enjoyment of the Lobotomy, my game improved greatly and my partner and I scratched out a tie when it had looked like we were dead and buried.
Lobotomy isn’t one for the weak. It’s a bold cigar.
Bold is what just what the neurosurgeon ordered.
Earlier this week I enjoyed playing a casual round of golf with my good friend and Iraq War vet Bryant. As you can see from the photo below Bryant was injured and now has a prosthetic leg. He has been featured in many local papers and articles for his willingness to test out new amazing leg technology. Unfortunately during our round he didn’t have his newest leg as it was broken. He was sporting the old one.
I have the game of golf to thank for meeting Bryant. We met at River Oaks in the men’s association. We’ve become good friends and played many rounds of golf together.
With the 4th of July coming up I can’t help thinking about Bryant and his family, as well as other vets who have sacrificed so much so I can have the freedom to play the game of golf. I’m thankful and I have great respect for guys like Bryant for putting themselves and their lives second to our country’s safety and security.
Hats off to Bryant and all other veterans this 4th of July weekend. Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. You have my gratitude.
After weighing up all the options and discussing it with my family and the Hooked on Golf Blog team, I have decided that due to the health concerns surrounding the Zika virus I will not be participating in the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio. Though the odds are low, my medical staff has confirmed that there is a potential risk of harm to me and my family and I’m not willing to take that risk.
It is with great sadness that I had to make this difficult decision. I was looking forward to being considered to compete in Rio and representing my country. I hope that HOG readers can understand this difficult decision and respect my position.
In closing I thank all those who have supported me in my golf career. I send my best regards and wishes to the the participants who will be teeing it up this summer in Rio.
