What’s Hot in Equipment?

One of the latest trends in golf equipment is the adjustable putter. For those of you who love to tweak your equipment until it is just right, an adjustable putter should be on your wish list. Depending on the brand, you can adjust putter length, face weight, counterbalance, and head weight. Manufacturers have made it super easy, sometimes with a simple turn of the dial. If you are trying to find something for that hard-to-shop-for person, and if that person plays golf, this might be the ticket.

Holiday Shopping

Keep it simple this year, and stay close to home for all your holiday shopping. Also, remember you do not need to play golf to find great gifts in our Golf Shop. With today’s trends in fashion, much of our apparel can be worn on the golf course, as leisurewear, and in the office. We also carry an assortment of items, such as blankets, stemware and our famous Las Sendas Private Label wines. One of the best gifts for the golf fanatic is a Bushnell rangefinder, which measures yardage, both to the pin crystals and to any object on the golf course.

FREE GIFT WRAP ALL MONTH LONG
