I’ve been gaming the Callaway Apparel Men’s Dual Action 1/4 Zip Pullover Sweater on and off the course for a few months now. This is a terrific sweater which is extremely comfortable. Let’s take a look.

Key Features

100% Polyester
Insulated thermal fabric creates a barrier between you and cold weather
Weather-repellent fabric creates a barrier of lightweight protection to resist wind and water
UV Block UPF 50 protects you against the sun’s ultraviolet rays
Callaway Tour Logo on chest
Callaway Chevron Logo on center back
Fleece Fabrication Machine Washable Imported
Available in BIG & TALL

Standard Sizes/Colors

Colors available include Caviar (dark gray), Medium Gray Heather (lighter gray), Peacoat Heather (dark blue), Blue Coral Heather (light blue), Castlerock Heather (medium gray). I’m sure you’ll appreciate my translation on the colors…

Sizes available range from small to XXL. I find the sizing to be accurate. My XL fits as it should.

Retail pricing for standard sizes and colors is $75.

Big and Tall

There sweater is also available in “big and tall” sizes which range from LT to 5XLT. Colors in the B&T line are Caviar, Blue Coral Heather, Castlerock Heather (see color english translations above).

Retail pricing for B&T sizes and colors runs $90.

In Action

I’m a big fan of polyester and spandex in apparel, but not the 80’s metal band kind. The fabrics and technology over the past several years make for super high performance and comfort. On the golf course the sweater helps keep me warm and loose. I’m especially fond of the way the garment moves with me, even though my swing moves might not be terribly… natural. Whether it is cold and/or wind I’m thrilled with the performance and style of the Callaway Apparel Men’s Dual Action 1/4 Zip Pullover Sweater.

I’ve even gamed this sweater in northern Utah weather conditions, as in snow. It’s a great layer to put under my parka, and to wear indoors. I’ve even worn it up on the slopes with great results. Perhaps Callaway should make ski apparel.

Final Thoughts

I’m happy to have put the Callaway Apparel Men’s Dual Action 1/4 Zip Pullover Sweater into my starting lineup. The style, performance, and mostly comfort are terrific. I’m also glad to have finally logged my first Callaway Apparel review in this humble golf blog’s history. It only took 15 years. Hopefully my next Callaway Apparel review will hit sooner than 2034.

Wasted Management Open – If This is How to Grow Golf, Count Me Out

I didn’t watch one second of the Waste Wasted Management Open. Hats off to Rickie Fowler for the win. I’m sure Taylormade will be all over that, claiming that Fowler’s recent switch to their golf ball was the reason. Fair enough.

I saw an amazing video on Twitter (below) which came from the gallery, a “lady” double chugging beers as the crowd cheers her on.

What a proud moment for her. It must have topped the time she won the beer chugging contest at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon frat house over at ASU. I hope the results at the free clinic came back negative.

If this is how to “grow golf,” count me out.

New Golf Pride Grips for 2019

Here’s a quick look at what’s new for Golf Pride Grips in 2019, wrapped up in a nice package from Golf Pride.

The Tour Velvet Plus has a larger lower hand, which promotes more power in the swing.

The MCC Align is a unique hybrid between rubber and cord, and offers a red or green Align strip to help the golfer with alignment.

The ZGrip Align is a cord grip with Golf Pride’s Align technology. I may put these in play for moist conditions when I need more gripping power.

The two putter grips on the right are the new Tour SNSR Contour Pro, in 104cc and 140cc. I’ve been wrapping my hands around these and they feel terrific. I’ve been gaming the Tour SNSR for nearly three years now. Might be time to switch.

Sentimental post time. Peak Vision was one of my early reviews way back in 2005! It has only taken 14 years to get my next Peak Vision Sunglasses review started. I’ve just gotten in a pair of their GX5 models in for review.

The design is stylish and simple. Classy. I’d forgotten how great the colors are when looking through Peak Visions. I look forward to putting these in play and working on my upcoming review. One issue however, is that the courses here are closed due to snow. It’s the typical northern Utah 5-month frost delay.

Stay tuned this spring and let’s hope the snow melts soon, and I’ll get this review rolling.

Top 10 Things I’ll Miss at the 2019 PGA Merchandise Show

The social posts, blog posts, and articles from the 2019 PGA Merchandise Show are starting to roll in. Sigh. As I mentioned in the previous post, I’ve made an executive blog decision to sit out the show this year as I did last year. There is plenty of media there to cover the latest in the longest long super long more yardage longer longest long LONG big huge super long low spin long carry long distance mega long drivers and of course the awesome golf club stands. Yes there is a lot of nonsense at the PGA Show, which I won’t miss, but there are many things I will miss, a lot.

Top 10 Things I’ll Miss at the 2017 PGA Merchandise Show

Free booze! – Love packing booths at the end of the day to get a free beer. But as you can see from the ladies below, several days of drinking can take its toll!

Getting in a booth that offers free booze, let alone getting to the bar is a war. KILL KILL!
Free swag? I have to mention it, but the last few shows I went to I intentionally came home empty handed. Too much golf stuff here at HOG World Headquarters as it is LOL.
Warm weather. We had 20 inches of snow in 24 hours a couple of days ago. It’s nice to go to Orlando and get out of the cold.
Booth babes. Yes the same thing I complained about in the previous post.

After all, they give me plenty of blog material and of course more hits when I post pictures of them.
Playing golf in Florida, at courses I haven’t played. Definitely a benefit of going to the Show.
This mannequin:

I visit her every year. I can’t quite “pinpoint” what I like so much about her but I stop by and admire her every Show. On a side note I can never figure out why that section of the show is so cold every year.
Meeting famous people in golf. Below is me with the maker of the most over-priced and over-sought-after putters, Scotty Cameron.
There’s a lot of real junk at the show, but there are the occasional very cool new golf products. It’s fun to see what the golf inventors and designers come up with to shave more strokes off your game.

I’m still about the same handicap I was 10 years ago though.
Tilted Kilt. I love me a good ole fashioned Florida Scottish pub with the greasiest fried food on the planet and the hottest waitresses. Unfortunately in the photo below I couldn’t put my arm around her because I had just dislocated my shoulder and my arm is in a sling. Booo.

Okay I lied. I just like the place because its initials are “TK” and they have a beer called the “TK Ale.”
Perkins. I always stop by for some pancakes. Yes, this is “the” Perkins where it all went down, so to speak. I seem to have struck up a friendship with a “busty hostess.” So I have that going for me, which is nice.
PEOPLE – By far the biggest thing I’ll miss at the PGA Show is the AWESOME PEOPLE.

I have so many great friends in the golf industry. It pains me to miss out on an opportunity to see you all. Damn that hurts!

You may have noticed that this is the same post as the one I wrote about not going to the 2017 PGA Merchandise Show.. That’s because it was so well written and accurate, I determined there’s no reason to write it again. You may have also noted that this one goes to 11. Thanks for making it this far. 🙂
