This Years PGA Show Orlando Florida
The 2010 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, FL had great energy and remains the world’s most influential golf trade show and the global summit for the golf industry. It was not necessarily a bad thing that it was smaller than in years past. The bad economy actually has positive affects because it allows for a cleansing period. It is survival of the fittest, those companies that best adapt to the changing conditions, have survived the market, and in turn, come out with better, more innovative products. It also raises the bar of consumer standards. The clothing from years past is no longer going to cut it in this new day and age. We are bored of wearing the same golf clothing that we have for years. We want new looks and feels that use cutting edge technology and don’t necessarily scream, “golf course only.” Playing golf is part of a lifestyle. This lifestyle consists of loving life, having fun, looking good, feeling good, enjoying the outdoors, as well as embracing the human condition that loves to take on challenges that take focus and discipline to excel at. The apparel needs to create synergies with this lifestyle. — » Read More: This Years PGA Show Orlando Florida
Stepping Out In Style in New England Golf
Traditionally, the focus and excitement of Labor Day weekend for sports fans had revolved around Red Sox vs. Yankees, the start of the Patriots regular season, or the anticipation of the Bruins upcoming season. However, for the last seven years one of the most important events on the PGA Tour, the Deutsche Bank Championship has now become a tradition here in New England. For many years New England golf fans did not have a major PGA Tour event that drew the best players in the world to this region. The Deutsche Bank and Tiger Woods changed that 7 years ago, and now the event has become a tradition in New England every Labor Day weekend. For the last three years the Fed Ex Cup has made it the second stop in the Tour Playoffs and a race for the most coveted trophy in golf. The final points winner at the conclusion of 4 tournaments: the Barclays, the Deutsche Bank, the BMW Championship, and finally the Tour Championship is awarded 10 million dollars and the Fed Ex Cup, the ultimate crown in golf. With a total purse of 35 million dollars in the season long Fed Ex Cup race, it is the biggest payday on the tour. — » Read More: Stepping Out In Style in New England Golf

Hat brims shade eyes from direct sun rays, however, sunlight also reflects off the earth. When looking at the green, eyes still perceive 100% sunlight as opposed to wearing gray sunglasses which block 70-90% of sunlight.
