Oh, how to discuss khakis and not sound old as dirt or say something that my teenage boys would pray never slips out around their friends? Truth is, I’m OK with my past, present and future with khakis. I’ve worn them proudly—obliviously, really since I stopped inheriting my older brothers’ pull-on jeans. I have a Read more…
Are all golf vests blue? Of course not, but my travels across the golf shops and putting greens of North America suggest it is so. Among my sleeveless souvenirs are a couple with logos so powerful they stop more conversations than they start. Like the salt in my hair, looking in the mirror at these Read more…
I learned to play golf in Hyderabad, India, at a club that had blasted boulders and discharged peacocks to create its home. Other than the threat of snakes (scary) and mongooses (adorable but distracting), the course was much like the fairways I’d eventually walk in the States, down to the male-centric golf shop and strict Read more…
As a millennial, the hoodie was a pivotal piece of my wardrobe during those awkward teenage years. My high school didn’t have uniforms, but you would think it did by the number of gray and navy hoodies walking through the doors each morning. Certainly, hoodies were not considered a “nice” item of clothing—let alone an Read more…
Oscar Wilde once said, “Beauty is the only thing that time cannot harm.” He was, of course, referencing the hideous shirt John Daly wore en route to winning the 1994 BellSouth Classic. The Ugly Golf Shirt is as much a staple of the game as Tiger Woods’ knack for the dramatic, a hot dog at Read more…
Centre-face contact is a more critical factor for increasing distance, and you’re more likely to find the centre of the face using a shorter shaft, which can also lead to greater consistency off the tee.
Close your eyes and picture a golfer. Are you imagining the human equivalent of a single man’s “laundry chair ” piled with polyester? It’s hard to blame you. For certain periods of time, golf’s redeeming qualities in style were nearly non-existent. Form and function need not combine, most golfers thought. However, a new spotlight on Read more…
There’s nothing wrong with going for it. We live in the age of 400-yard drives and par 5s in two after all. Yet these days too many tour players lay up while getting dressed. The golfers listed here, however, waited for the green to clear, took big swings and sent some worm-burners skipping through the Read more…
I first met Stephen Malbon 10 years ago at golf’s annual PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando. I had attended enough of them to know the unofficial dress code for men: navy blazer, tie, khakis and the most deceptively comfortable dress shoes you could find for traipsing the harshly carpeted miles between appointments on the convention Read more…
When we opened our store, Malbon Golf, on Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles in 2017, we were warned that golf was a dying sport, that a golf boutique in this location was never going to work. But we are each stubborn and headstrong and trusted that more people like us would see the future of Read more…
The season isn’t half over, but Keith Mitchell wins Golf Digest’s Best Dressed of 2024. If the PGA Tour created such an award, you can bet it’d be remunerative. (Sorry, Cashmere Keith, but our editorial team doesn’t have outsize “financial reserves” to play with, so all you got was this photoshoot.) Now in his seventh Read more…
Malbon Golf has nearly perfected the art of collaborations. The buzz-worthy brand has teamed up with brands across golf, fashion, and even with beverage companies like Budweiser and Coca-Cola. Each collab pushes the boundaries of what golf fashion can be and expands offerings for golfers to express their personality both on and off the course. Read more…
