It didn't take too long in my "re-acquaintance with golf" to start searching out brands within the golf space who are doing cool things.  I've always been prone to the small shops, the artful take, and offerings that might go against the grain of the norm.  Fortunately, there are quite a few of these kind of businesses within golf and it's been neat to come across them.  Typically, first on Instagram...   One of these companies is MacKenzie Golf Bags and I have several friends who have a custom golf bag (which often times leads to more than one...) and it got me thinking t ..read more

At a time when it seems that new wading boots have crested a price point that makes me shake my head, the folks at Korkers have introduced their new Wade Lite Wading Boot Collection that starts at $149.99 while not sacrificing performance or durability. I've worn Korkers for years and looking forward to getting a pair of the Wade Lite Sneakers for wet wading this spring and summer.  I've already seen pairs of Chrome Lite wading boots pop up on social media with positive reviews. From the Korkers presser...   "Korkers, the award-winning outdoor footwear brand, is proud to introduce ..read more
