'Tis The Season . . .

December 2024

    In this season of giving, golf presents a world of possibilities to surprise and delight the Duffer in your life.  And choosing gifts from small, new or family-owned businesses becomes a gift to them as well.

    The PGA Show, a trade-only event, offers a showcase of golf business each January in Orlando and we enjoyed meeting owners, developers, inventors and representatives from each of these following businesses at the 2024 PGA Show.  We hope you enjoy browsing through this cross section of excellent golf products, each company with a wonderful story behind the door of its business.

SandeBag     Backpack or over-the-shoulder Chill Bags are made from exceptional materials and are stylish, roomy and comfortable to carry.  Add the premium solar panel to keep your devices charged while you enjoy more time adventuring.

Super Mex Golf      No golfer needs an introduction to Lee Travino.  His hard work and perseverance to win his way to the top of the PGA are as legendary as his smile and personality.  As is his Sombrero logo which son Daniel has resurrected to honor his dad on timeless, retro-inspired gear.  A true family business that started a few years ago with Daniel storing merchandise in his parents' garage while Lee parked his car outside, the style is as timeless as Travino himself.  

Watson Links Mentor Program      If your holiday traditions include charitable giving, consider the long-lasting gift that golf gives a child.  Tom Watson, eight-time Major champion and World Golf Hall of Fame member, has seen a need and designed a program to fill the space between learning to play as a child and playing with confidence as an adult.  The program sessions pair young players with adult mentors for 9-hole rounds at local participating courses and the opportunities to contribute include donating, sponsoring and volunteering.  

Flyway Hats      Since 1865 Flyway Hats have provided timeless styles made from exceptional materials.  Produced in Thomasville, Georgia, their golf, campus, coastal and western collections can be custom branded for your journey.

Duck and Cover Golf      Sherpa wool and waxed canvas head covers bring a time-honored traditional feel to your golf clubs.  Excellent quality materials and embroidery will create a gift that lasts a lifetime.

Putt Buddies      Voted Most Innovative Concept at the 2024 PGA Merchandise Show, these licensed character divot tool and ball marker sets are the most clever and humorous that we've ever come across.  From Star Wars to Caddyshack to Barbie to South Park, no character is safe!

 

Meg Carter designs      Meg Carter creates exquisite necklaces, earrings and bangles that feel like a visit to the shore, to vacationlands, to Bespoke Places, as she calls them - like St. Andrews.  Profits from her "Caddie School for Soldiers at St. Andrews Bangle" go to support US, Canadian and British soldiers who come to St. Andrews Caddie School where Caddie training assists them in overcoming injury and PTSD.

The PGA Show returns to Orlando January 21-24, 2025 to showcase and celebrate the business of golf.
