Evolve Golf - Ahead Of Their Time


December 2018


     Since its start in 2003 as a producer of innovative, scientifically-designed golf tees, Evolve Golf has been making "Better Products For Player, Course And Planet".  The Epoch tee's radial points of contact have been independently tested to minimize ball/tee resistance and maximize ball flight distance and accuracy, while the durability of material creates a tee that will outlast many wood tees per round, reducing golf tee litter.
     A company small enough to put customizing at the heart of customer service, Evolve has benefited from its North Carolina home base where wood products and textile industries have both deep historical roots and modern visions of the future.





     They have expanded from the original Epoch tee to include a state-of-the-art customizing shop.  The fine details of customer's requests are expertly matched with products that include markers, divot repair tools and their incredibly soft and supportive Motionwool TM  socks that combine Merino wool with high tech fibers to weave a product your feet will thank you for!




     With a reawakening of appreciation for hand-tooling and metalcraft, Evolve has established the EC2 Foundry whose craftsmen create unique dye imprints for hand-forged markers and divot repair tools, with the customer participating throughout the design process.  These golfer tools are works of art, small but memorable pieces of club or tournament history to keep through the ages.


     And with that core philosophy of "Better Products For Player, Course and Planet", Evolve has developed Project Good Woods, tees of birch and bamboo sold exclusively to green grass courses with a portion of the proceeds contributed to the Arbor Day Foundation.
     Evolve Golf - where high tech merges with hand-tooled methods, natural fibers are woven with technology, and craftsmanship combines with a small company footprint to provide that personal touch.

Tifosi - Exceptional Eyewear, Affordable Optics

Tifosi - Exceptional Eyewear, Affordable Optics



December 2018


     No one debates the importance of 100% UV eye protection these days, a feature that is standard across almost all sunglasses.  And then there are eyewear manufacturers like Tifosi that rise through their own sports experience to fine-tune the details of sport-specific eyewear.  Known for decades among runners and bicyclists for durability and value, Tifosi is making fans of golfers with their terrain-defining Enliven TM color-enhancing lens.





     Built of shatterproof polycarbonate to withstand the harshest of athletic conditions, Enliven TM lenses are optically decentered, minimizing distortion and magnification, and adjust the greens, blues and reds of the landscape like a sound engineer adjusts the musical layers of your favorite track.


     Tifosi Crit sunglasses with Enliven TM lenses prove themselves against the glare and ever-changing shadows of Florida golf while integrated side vents prevent fogging and the hydrophilic temple inserts and nosepieces hold them securely in the humid, sometimes torrential, conditions of our tropical climate.

     And new for 2019, the Track is light-weight, hi-tech, basically crash-resistant, and so modestly priced that leaving them behind at the clubhouse may break your heart but won't break your bank.
     Or take a browse through their online customizing shop and show off your bold side with a pair of Swanks!

     Tifosi also offers Rx options, Asian fit, lens-changing tutorials and assistance with small part and lens replacement.  Tifosi - See what they can do for you!
