The Italian Revolution is Here

Duca del Cosma is always at the forefront of global fashion trends in golf footwear

Advertisement

Duca del Cosma is a European, luxury golf footwear brand that is bringing Italian fashion into golf. New to North America, the company has been revolutionizing the world of golf fashion with its contemporary line of golf shoes for over two decades.

Play it fashion-forward

The premium brand broadens the golf fashion spectrum with their stylish Italian designs, top-quality materials, and expert hand-crafting skills to produce world-class shoes that are extraordinary and comfortable.

It is in the Details

Attention to detail is the key. Only leather from the best tanneries in Europe are used to create shoes that also feature the latest cuttingedge technology, in the form of specialized footbed inserts from Arneflex® which provide outstanding comfort during every round of golf. Even the laces are made from first-class waxed cotton and styles with two lace options to color coordinate with any outfit.

Tee up - Trend on

New to Duca del Cosma, the Flyer. An athletic golf shoe which provides the utmost comfort on and off the golf course but moreover provides stability. The six-time European Tour Champion Joost Luiten competes weekly wearing the Flyer. The Dutch star can swing freely as the cone-shaped nubs across the La Ponia outsole ensures excellent traction.

The Flyer

The Flyer shoes are handcrafted from highquality nappa leather and are available in Navy with a well-defined contrast trim. Comfort is also a key. Thanks to the breathable, antibacterial Arneflex insole with memory foam and cork cushioning walking 18-holes is no problem and even in the rain, the Aqua sock fully sealed booties will keep feet dry. The Duca nub covered outsole keeps pace with any active lifestyle.

Joost Luiten

“I’m proud to be wearing attractive and comfortable Duca del Cosma shoes that are designed and made to such a high standard in Europe. The brand’s connection with The Netherlands makes it even more special for me and I can’t wait to promote these distinctive shoes on Tour - both on and off the golf course,” said Luiten.

The Duca del Cosma Philosophy

Our philosophy revolves around creating something completely different in the game of golf. Therefore, Duca del Cosma offers lines of both technical golf shoes and lifestyle sneakers that can be worn for sports, leisure and even business occasions. The company will always look to be at the forefront of global fashion trends and technology that can add value to it luxury products.

Mainlands Golf Club

Family Owned and Operated for 50 Years

November 2021 marks 50 years

in business for Mainlands Golf Club. Located just north of Park Boulevard on US 19 North inside the Mainlands of Tamarac retirement community, the course is nestled in the heart of Pinellas County. As such it is easily accessible from most anywhere in Tampa Bay. A family run and owned golf course, it has built its reputation over the years by providing the golfing public with great conditions at excellent prices all in a laid back and friendly environment.

In 1971, fresh from New Jersey, Bill Blair purchased the Mainlands Golf Club from the Mainlands home owners. In the 1990’s and 2000’s, Bill left control of the course to Tom Duane, his son in law. During that time the course underwent significant renovations. The course was lengthened, the greens were redone and about half of the holes were modified. Originally an executive track, the course was now a par 67 measuring 4800 yards, that was enjoyable for everyone from the novice to more seasoned golfers as well.

Fashioned in typical Florida style, the open fairways of Mainlands are generally kind to shots hit with less than perfect

aim. Water comes into play on 12 of its 18 holes. However, only two feature forced carries, both under 100 yards. Comprised of nine par 4’s, seven par 3’s, and a par 5 on each nine, the course offers a little something for everyone. A natural match for golfers without long bomber distance, Mainlands nevertheless teases longer hitters with the possibility of driving the green on several par 4’s. Both par 5’s – with a well placed drive –also offer the potential for eagles. With a par of 67, you can play bogey golf and still shoot an 85 without having to explain that you played a course measuring just over 4800 yards from the tips. Yes, Mainlands has two potentially drivable par 4’s to start you off the front nine, but before you start imagining those eagle putts, remember the risk of straying into the bunkers guarding those two greens.

The risk/reward theme continues throughout the round. The 470 yard, par 5 fifth hole will tempt you to try and reach it in two, but don’t pull either shot into the lake that runs down the entire left side of the hole. The par 5 eleventh is another “reachable” par 5 measuring 490 yards from the back tee. However,

Mainlands’ seven par-3’s measure from 129 to 156 yards from the white tees.

the hole is a pronounced dogleg left around another lake, requiring much risk for the reward of an eagle putt. You’ll probably make more decisions on this par-67 layout than you would ever make on a regular par-72 course negotiating the varying hole distances, the strategically-placed bunkers and the abundance of water. And you’ve done it in a lot less time, for a lot less money, and if you walked, you got some exercise. Founder Bill Blair passed away a few years ago. And Tom Duane has retired, placing Bill’s grandson Tyson Duane as General Manager. With the help of his Director of Golf Michael Summers and crew, Tyson is proud to offer the same friendly and personal service that he learned from his family. Part of the appeal at Mainlands is not just the course itself but the goodhearted nature of both employees and patrons alike. The relaxed atmosphere makes it an attractive place for seniors, women, and anyone looking to enjoy a stress-free day on the links.

The Mainlands hosts numerous tournaments throughout the year as well as weekly leagues for both men and women alike. You are invited to visit, call the pro shop or go online to the website to learn more about what is going on at The Mainlands at mainlandsgolf.com.

We also boast a fully stocked pro shop long known for having great deals on equipment, soft-goods, and apparel. Each month there are two specials in the shop. There is the Uncle Julio deal which is a deal on greens fees or golf equipment. The Bill Blair Beverage special is the other deal on alcohol. Both of these monthly deals can be found in the

local America’s Favorite Coupon Book as well as on our website at mainlandsgolf. com/uncle-julios-specials.

There is always something going on at The Mainlands Golf Club. July is HALF PRICE greens fees for Active Military, Veterans, Police and Firemen. September is always Ladies Month, where ladies get half price greens fees all month. Check out our website for the latest and greatest deals.

Great pride is taken in our staff, our pro shop, and our course’s consistently excellent condition. The dedication of superintendent Aaron May and his team has garnered The Mainlands a well-deserved reputation for offering up course conditions whose value consistently exceeds the greens fee price. Boasting a modest snack bar, Mainlands now proudly serves the coldest beer in town as well as hotdogs and sandwiches.

Since 1971 we have recorded almost 3 million rounds. We are proud to have
