You can tell a lot about a man by the shoes he wears. And the impression is going to be a pretty strong one (in a good way, of course) if he is wearing one of ECCO’s fashionable creations, we think. The brand has given quite a few delicious footsie options to avid golfers in the past. And living up to its reputation, once again it has something that other brands will have a tough time matching up with. The new Premium 109 collection is exclusive to say the least.

This limited edition has quite an impressive range of croc skin golf shoes that have been made to order by extremely skilled and talented artisans at the company owned facilities. A very unique process of production involves the latest in technologies and the best in professional expertise.
These very handsome footwear come in an accessory package that also includes a croc leather luggage tag made from the same hides used to craft the shoes. A platinum plate bears the player’s name and the shoe edition number. The price is high at $3,300.

The word Mercedes comes with its own superb stamp of class and elitism. The luxury brand has now come up with a whole new range of golf accessories.

The range is available both for men and for women.

It has simple and functional shirt jackets, classic golf bag with its sturdy tripod, full length dividers and five zippered storage pockets as also an insulated beverage holder in the bag, and other little items such as a unisex Visor made of cotton material with a special twirl. Behold, it also has a Mercedes Golf umbrella which is a boring black in colour but another tempting piece of the pie with its Mercedes Benz-logo and a golf ball marker, not to forget the stylish Callaway golf towel, besides golf balls.

What is common to all of these accessories, rather each of them, is the exclusive Mercedes signature. Even if you are not a golf enthusiast, you would want to grab a piece of Mercedes golfing paraphernalia.

Seating comfortably is a major concern nowadays in times of ergonomic furniture. Straw and jute stuff is passé simply because they do not snuggle. But the same can’t be said about the seats designed by the golf enthusiast duo David and Dan Vahala. According to the designers, they wanted to create something exceptionally comfy because one tends to spend at least four hours for a round of golf. And that definitely requires some pampering.

The Ultimate Golf Seating has been designed so as to provide cervical support while maintaining the adjustable headrests. There is a lumbar support as well as fold-down armrests. There are three styles available in this product. The Luxury Bucket version has a center locking console, the Luxury Bench has a center fold-down armrest where as the Premier Bench Seat is designed for fleet use.

All seats have been made in the very durable marine grade vinyl while the foam filling comes from superior resiliency polyurethane that is used in high-end mattresses. Again, you don’t have to worry about UV rays and stains affecting the seats because they can bear them all. The color can be of your choice. The price range is between $695 and $1,195.

Anyday, ask anybody and they will agree that golf is indeed a luxury sport. So, getting in golf fashion production was a very good decision for the sixth-generation Golf GTI Volkswagen. As part of this new project, the brand has gone ahead and created a whole range of lifestyle accessories that are dedicated to all the pretty ladies and their cute babies.

As of now, the line is rather limited. We are talking about some baby caps, a women’s hat, a messenger bag and ‘mud flap’ baby bibs with the GTI logo. The liberal use of white with pink trimming is quite classy. GTI has full plans to expand the collection pretty soon so you can go ahead and keep up a strong brand following.

So far we haven’t heard much about the pricing but coming from Volkswagen you cannot expect anything cheap and lacking in quality. So, here’s to looking good when teeing of your favorite shot. Go get fashionable!

It’s swinging times for golfers. Ever since its launch at the 2009 PGA Merchandise show in Orlando, the Swing Catalyst has been creating a buzz. It has been developed by the Norwegian company Initial Force and is aimed at helping golfers improve their play, especially the swing.

Well, this machine is actually an analysis system that works towards integrating a force plate with a video analysis software and an optional launch monitor. Placed in a tee on an artificial turf, the force plate tries to give as real an experience as it can.

Your play is under constant supervision of the video cameras that record every motion and transfer the data to the monitor as well as the instructor’s workstation. All you have to do is simply stand on the force plate and swing like you always do while playing a game of golf. Also, the video clip can be replayed many times. You can even match the data from the force plate and the launch monitor. The technical bit apart, we think this will serve as a cool recreational facility at home.

Scotty Cameron is out with a new and limited edition Button Back Newport 2 putter. And this one spells sheer class and elegance. Probably the hottest golf toy in the market right now, this one promises a feel and sporting experience never provided by any putter before. Name after the three screws holding the Teryllium inlay in place, this one flaunts a butter soft feel. And this one is way ahead of the milled raw carbon steel putter heads as it relies on 303 stainless steel.

Done up in copper-colored accents, the Button Back Newport 2 has a strong leather grip that has been stitched in hand with a matching copper-colored thread. Plus it has a single   sight line in the flange with a single engraving of ‘Scotty’ up on the neck.

The news reports reveal that this putter has been used during several PGA Tour wins this season. Now, that’s another reason for you to buy this one. Only 4,000 units will be made. So hurry to your nearest golf goods store!

Golf, the gentleman’s game, isn’t for everyone and that is made obvious by how expensive a set of golf clubs can cost you. Apart from that, golfing lessons can cost hell, too. Instead of waiting around all day listening to your trainer teaching you the perfect swings and trying to emulate him, ditch him and let your golf club teach you.

The Gyro Swing is a training club with an internal 20,000 gyroscope that helps you sense the feel of the right swing. With a see-through grip that is intended for the perfect hand placement, the club aids golfers with casting problems and helps provide resistance for off-plane or early release swings. The head of the club is made from metalwood and is transparent with the gyroscope enclosed within. Powered by six AAA batteries, the Gyro Swing comes with a head cover, recharger pack and a Rick Smith instructional DVD for additional golfing tips.

Distributed by SKLZ, the Gyro Swing costs the hefty sum of $200 and is good enough to have been featured on Golf Week TV. Note, though, that improving your golfing skills may still not impress your boss.
