Pinehurst Resort Donald Ross Package The holiday season is an underrated time to visit the North Carolina Sandhills and Pinehurst Resort. The USGA’s new future second home is the setting of its famed No. 2 Course, recently minted as a U.S. Open “Anchor Site” starting with the 2024 edition. From a golf consumer standpoint, November through February presents an extended, value-laden period (potential frost delays notwithstanding). Rates on golf packages like the everpopular Donald Ross drop more than 50% through the winter. You can book a two-night stay in The Carolina, three rounds of golf on any of the resort’s nine golf courses and enjoy Pinehurst’s famous Southern breakfast and a three-course dinner each night starting at $713 in as of Nov. 29. There’s a surcharge for playing No. 2, but if you’re on a budget and want to stick to the package as is, you can still enjoy premium tracks like No. 4, No. 8 and No. 9. As for what to pack, December and January highs are usually in the 50s and February is back into the 60s. There can be big swings in highs and lows, so be sure to check the weather before packing. www.pinehurst.com Walker Trolleys In baseball parlance, Walker Trolleys – a walking golf lifestyle brand and maker of premium push carts – has hit a walkoff homerun. The Austin, Tex.-based company exponentially exceeded its 2020 sales projections for its Cape model amid strong demand for walking-engineered golf gear. From its inception, the Cape was crafted to be distinctly different than other push carts, drawing inspiration from the roadsters and ultra-cool bicycles from the 20s and 30s. Its anodized aluminum frame, waxed canvas storage and handcrafted leather handle combine to create a clean, classic design. The Cape is easily collapsible and fits in the trunk or cargo area of almost any vehicle. The Cape’s upper and lower storage areas allow golfers to conveniently store water bottles, outerwear, extra towels and other supplies. And the company just rolled out its customizable soft good accessories, starting with the “Dead Great” edition, featuring a Grateful Dead tie-dye pattern and lettering. Next out of the gate is “The Southerner,” with a southern-fried pattern featuring Bourbon, football, Waffle House, golf dogs and the obligatory “y’all.” Custom soft good storage units are priced at $125 and can be added to the Cape at checkout. The Cape retails for $399 and is available to order at Walker Trolleys’ online store and will generally ship in 1-2 days.

SIK GOLF - PRO MODEL PUTTER Bryson DeChambeau has captured all eight of his professional victories, including the 2020 U.S. Open, using a SIK Putter. He learned about SIK’s Descending Loft Technology shortly after turning pro and has earned over $21 Million Dollars since he put one into play. The reason PGA Tour Players have and continue to migrate to SIK putters is because of its patented Descending Loft Face Technology™ also known as (DLT). There are four planar surfaces that are precision milled on the face of the putter. Each plane descends in loft (4°, 3°, 2°, 1°) from the top of the face to the bottom. This creates a more consistent launch angle regardless of whether you add loft or deloft the putter at impact which leads to better distance control and less side spin. Custom putters from SIK Golf not only ensure individualization, they also truly “Change the Way You Roll”. It is a literal game-changer for players and duffers alike. Custom putter fitting available at 10 locations in Florida and Club Champion locations nationwide. For more information visit www.sikgolf.com
