Alex Elias  Brad McCluski, Director of Golf at Dedham Country & Polo Club: The most popular items for us this year have been the Holderness & Bourne Betts Pullover and Ward Sweater. We’ve had a tough time keeping them in stock!  Katie Wiedmar, Golf Shop Manager & First Assistant Golf Professional at Winged Foot Golf Club: I think our best seller thus far has been the Holderness & Bourne Sullivan Pullover. Excellent price point and great piece for the fall/winter!  Jessica Cavolina, Buyer & Merchandiser at Medinah Country Club: This Christmas I am really loving the Ellsworth + Ivey Custom Knits. You can design just about anything you can dream of. It is a unique gift that anybody would love. A little something for that special lady golfer in your life!  Joe Merlin, Head Golf Professional at Monroe Golf Club For the male golfer in the family, I really like the new FC Weekender Duffle from Jones Sports Co. It’s the perfect duffle for long weekends, daily gym bags, and days at the club. It has multiple compartments to separate clothes, accessories, toiletries, and shoes. The beauty of it, when traveling it turns into a back pack so it’s easy to carry through the airport. For the female golfer in the family, we’ve had success partnering the Candle Vessels from Cappai Designs with custom scented votive candles from Out of Bounds. The acrylic vessel is logoed with our club logo and different designs for the season. The team at Out of Bounds does a great job mixing up scents allowing us to create custom offerings for our membership.  Matt Alwin, Head Golf Professional at Sakonnet Golf Club Holderness & Bourne sweaters have been a home run for us. They’re fabrication is unique and comfortable and styles are on-point!  Keith Clawson, Head Golf Professional at East Hampton Golf Club Holiday Gift Guide must have for this year in my opinion are G/fore shoes. They were one of the hottest sellers in the shop this year. I am typically a FJ guy but I do enjoy G/fore. Sold them 2 to 1 compared to FJ. Nice blend of traditional style and unique and exciting design features. There are color options for everyone (conservative or flashy). Finally and most importantly they are comfortable and functional. Insoles are top notch.  Alex Socinski, Senior Assistant Golf Professional at Dedham Country & Polo Club One of the coolest Christmas ideas is a custom headcover. Unfortunately, not all Golf Shops are going to have these but for those that do, like ours at Dedham Country & Polo Club, pick up a unique headcover for your loved one. It will stand out and it’s something you will get more use out of than a sweater.  Andrew Blatnik, Director of Retail Operations at Oak Hill Country Club Over the past few years, we have developed a great relationship with the Buffalo Bills. A very well-received result of this relationship has been cobranded Bills x Oak Hill apparel in the Golf Shop. The demand for this merchandise has been incredible, with individual drops during the season selling out within 48-72 hours! This holiday season, we have loaded up on cobranded Peter Millar, lululemon, Zero Restriction and Greyson for men, ladies, and youth so that there is plenty of Bills merch to go around for the gifting season, and I expect it to be a great hit!  Hannah Marcusse, Retail & Golf Shop Manager
Wingman Speaker! Versatile for all ages, activities, and use. The GPS makes it a great piece for the golf cart, the speaker can be used anywhere, and it’s the perfect portable size. Alex Elias  Recently, I published Signature Cocktails at Noteworthy Clubs. Below are a few signature food items at noteworthy clubs:
The Olympic Club In 1950, The Olympic Club invited Hot Dog Bills, created by Bill and Billie Parrish, to occupy a permanent location near the 10th green of the storied Lake Course. Synonymous with The Olympic Club, the "Burgerdog" (Pictured Above) is a long rectangular beef patty, served with fresh condiments on a toasted hotdog bun. "The Burgerdog is truly one of a kind. The shacks around the course are incredibly special," said a member of The Olympic Club. Fishers Island Club & Mountain Lake A staple at Fishers Island Club and Mountain Lake, members and guests are just as eager to try the Peanut Butter, Jelly, and Bacon Sandwich as they are to play Raynor's templates. "I must admit I was a little perplexed as to how a sandwich could be so famous, but until you've tried it, you can't fully comprehend the experience of walking the fairways of Fishers Island," said a guest of Fishers Island Club. |
