Fifty Strong–Better Bottles Be50Strong.com

What a great American company and very nice product we have with the
Fifty Strong water bottles called Simply Better Bottles, named so for good
reason. The bottles come in different styles with several features unique to
each style. One of the most vital aspects to being a healthy golfer is keeping
hydrated on the course. The Pocket Mixer and Mix It Up models come with
an agitator of sorts that allows you to mix your favorite protein or flavored
drinks. It has helped me to stymie my cola habit and replace it with more
beneficial substitutes. Just as advertised, Green Camo is a super insulated
bottle donned in camo graphics. Chug 36–you guessed it–a big boy that
holds 36 ounces yet fits into most cup holders. Fifty Strong has dozens of other designs, some found right
in the Ciattei kitchen, and all are manufactured in their family owned business in Lima, Ohio. The owners
do their part by fabricating everything in the USA. Now, do your part. You’ll find a great online shopping
experience on their website.

Toast–Creative Covers toastmade.com

This one-of-a-kind item would make a great gift any time of year for
just about any sports fan. You could just plop down $25 for another hat
that will most likely find a place in the closet, or you could get a piece of
TOAST. These actual wood veneer covers can be tailored for your personal
electronic devices. I decided to stand out with my business and put my
logo on my iPad’s cover. You could choose to put your favorite sports
team or golfer or maybe just an adage. I love my Toast and get comments
and compliments about it all the time. Toast comes in four styles: walnut,
ebony, bamboo and ash. Whether you have a smartphone, tablet, or gaming
console, Toast can cover it in style. We found the application easy to follow,
and the final product exceeded our expectations. Customize part of your lifestyle and be epic with Toast,
another proud USA product.

Pitchfix–No More Excuses pitchfixusa.com

For the third time we are discussing a Pitchfix product, and I can say it
never gets old! If you are still repairing ball marks with an ancient tool
or even a tee, you need to get with the program. You most likely do more
damage to the green in your effort to repair the ball mark you just made.
The latest in the line of successful divot tools from Pitchfix, the Fusion
2.5, blends the switchblade and Twister designs previously reviewed. The
new model even contains a built-in pencil sharpener. Continuing the trend of earlier designs, the Fusion
line makes ball mark repairs easier for golfers and helps reduce pitch mark repair damage to greens.
“The Fusion 2.5 Pin combines the characteristics of the successful Hybrid line with the award-winning pin
technology of the Twister 2.0,” said Bart Fokke, CEO of Pitchfix. “This is without doubt the best divot
repair tool Pitchfix has ever produced.” You have no more excuses for not fixing your ball marks correctly.
Pitchfix made sure of it.

Linksoul–The American Golfer linksoul.com

The folks at Linksoul have built a brand unlike others in the golf fashion
world. Being more of a lifestyle to them, they live and breath the sport
through their clothing and accessories. Summer always brings new
styles, and Linksoul has you covered. This year, a 1930s magazine called
The American Golfer inspired them to create commemorative T-shirts
proclaiming passion for the game. Linksoul maintains the highest quality
available in all of their apparel, and their cotton golf shirts remain as some
of the most comfortable. The brand also offers custom branded Snell golf
balls, ball markers, and a top-notch golf club bag. John Ashworth came up
with the concept 20 years ago while establishing the Ashworth clothing line. The fruits of his labors can be
picked here. Enjoy this year’s crop.
