New ideas, good golf deals and generally what's out there that's hot, works well, and looks particularly good in the junior golf world.
GustBuster Umbrella / Spectator Seat
OK, so this is not technically for junior golfers but rather for the people - moms, dads, grandparents, coaches - that watch them!
I walked around watching one of our sons the other day. The mom of a playing partner was walking too and she had one of these umbrellas with a seat. "My sons bought me this for Mother's Day and it is the best thing ever. I will never watch another round of golf without it!"
She was happy, cooler and comfortable and I was sold!
Apparently it is 10 degrees cooler under the UV-blocking patented umbrella fabric. It's light, easy to fold and carry and the chair is comfortable to sit on. Considering one is spending up to 6 hours walking around watching golf, it's a.pretty cool investment and one of our pretty good golf deals!
No Natz
We played quite a few tournaments in south Georgia the past few months and found ourselves often knee deep below the gnat line, which is actually a thing! The gnat line in Georgia runs from Columbus to Macon to Augusta and marks the territory where gnats are more numerous. Apparently this is not humidity related but has more to do with the sandy soil where gnats and black flies prefer to live and reproduce as opposed to the red clay of north Geogia. Of course gnats are not just a Georgia problem - they are found through most of the USA. No Natz c a sanity keeper for players and spectators!
