Kentwool 19th Hole Collection – click to zoom
I’m a big believer, fan, user, lover, homer for Kentwool socks. I’m wearing a pair of Kentwool Tour golf socks right now. There is not a more comfortable golf sock on this planet and I’m fairly sure several other planets as well. Kentwool makes dress dress/casual socks now also. The dress sock version is called the 19th Hole Collection.
The 19th Hole collection is made with the same fantastic wool that Kentwool is famous for. These are a little thinner than the golf socks but still very soft and comfortable.
You may be thinking that wool socks are too hot, as I did. Not the case with Kentwools. I get very hot in long socks, but not these.
I’m not a fan of dressing up. In fact I’m the crazy guy you see walking around Salt Lake on January 2nd in shorts when there are three feet of snow on the ground and the temps are 35 degrees below freezing. I pretty much dress up for weddings and funerals, and I’m not a big fan of either. At least I have the comfort advantage of the 19th Hole Collection.
Styles/Colors
There are 13 variants in the styles and colors for the 19th Hole Collection. See the image below for a few of them.

Conclusion
(Spoken in the voice of the “most interesting man in the world”) I don’t always dress up. But when I do, I prefer Kentwool 19th Hole Collection socks.

Check out my Switch Belt article in Utah’s Fairways Magazine
Fairways Magazine
A nice side gig I do now and then is write some golf articles for Fairways Magazine, the official magazine of the Utah Golf Association. Fairways is a print mag which goes out to all 30,000 members of the UGA.
In the March 2013 issue I have a small article on Switch Belt which discusses the company’s last two appearances at the PGA Merchandise Show and what the future holds for them. Check it out.
Thanks to Randy Dodson for giving me the opportunity to contribute now and then.

What a great time in golf. We can actually match our clubs to our outfits, or in my case to my favorite college team, the UTES. I’ve just shot some photos of the new irons in for review here, the Cobra Amp Cell irons. These are very pretty. Do they play as great as they look? I don’t know because it actually SNOWED today.

As soon as the snow melts and the conditions are suitable for golf, I’ll start testing these babies out. Stay tuned. Until then, enjoy the HOG Cobra image gallery where you’ll find all sorts of images of Cobra golf clubs including the Amp Cell irons and Amp Cell driver.
