Pitchfix Twister 2.0 – Twist and Shout pitchfixusa.com

I was delightfully surprised the first time I reviewed the Pitchfix Twister.
The caliber of their line of switchblade divot tools should have prepared me
for the quality of their new product. Well, the Twister just got better with
the 2.0 version with its upgraded shape and size that is noticeably sleeker
and easier to carry. The 3-pronged retractable system has not changed
and still remains one of the most efficient ways to repair bite marks on
the market. No pun intended, but I’ve been a “pitch” man for this product since I first used it. I’ve shown
head pros, superintendents, caddies, and my playing partners the benefits of the Pitchfix Twister. Each one
comes with a magnetic ball marker attached so it handles multi-tasking well. If you are having an event, it
makes an excellent goodie bag addition that you can customize. Not only will fixers find it easier to repair
any of the up to 12 ball marks on average one might have in a round, but the Pitchfix Twister does much
less damage than the traditional divot tool. So, shake it up baby now, and ditch the old tool for the Twister.

Varick Golf Balls – Sis Boom Ahh! Varickgolfballs.com

Always remember that golf is just a game, and games are meant to be
fun. To add some spice to your golf ball arsenal, get Varick Golf Balls. At
first glance one might think that only ladies would choose this golf ball
with its somewhat sparkly design. After a nine-hole, after-work escape
using Varick Golf Balls, I can emphatically say that couldn’t be further from the truth. The ball delivered
comparable distance and even spun better than my normal ball selection. I will say that the one drawback
with these balls is that you won’t want to lose them, so you may be exchanging balls on holes where water
and possible OB may be in play, but once you see the balls, you’ll see that’s probably normal practice. You
won’t have any problem finding your ball on the course with these attractive additions to your golf bag. The
golf balls conform with USGA rules and come in both Classic and Bright assortments with three different
colors in each sleeve. With the Varick Golf Ball, expect the unexpected, not just a flash in the pan!

ICONIC Protein Drinks – Tastes are Made Not Born drinkiconic.com

As I approach my 60th year on the big round ball, I find myself searching
for better ways to improve my health. When I drink a protein drink, I
normally hold my nose with my fingers. That stigma doesn’t exist with
ICONIC Protein Drinks, which I found to be as tasty as a milkshake. Three
flavors, Cafe au Lait, Chocolate Truffle, and my favorite Vanilla Bean, just
about run the gamut for anyone’s taste buds. Each 12 ounce serving goes
down easy and is packed with 20 grams of protein and fiber to curb hunger.
Oh, and did I mention the taste? At just 130 calories and containing only
3 grams of sugar, it rivals other protein drinks. Be Well Nutrition out of New Orleans brings us this drink
with their goal of creating a healthy product not packed with sugar, artificial ingredients, and calories.
ICONIC Protein Drinks serve as the perfect sidekick for anyone who may be looking to lose weight that
needs a healthy, nutritious, quick, and convenient meal replacement. All Wegmans located in the DMV
area stock the ICONIC line. Now, about that taste thing.

UV Skinz Sun Sleeves – The Strongest Part of Your Skin uvskinz.com

Attending outdoor summer events presents the need to protect yourself
from the harmful rays of the sun (for more, see pages 44-45), and no one
does it quite as well as UV Skinz. Excessive exposure to the sun is the
most common cause of skin cancer, the most universal form of cancer
in the United States. Obviously, golfers become main targets since we can spend up to 5 hours exposed,
sometimes during the sun’s strongest time of the day. UV Skinz Sun Sleeves provide the ultimate in sun
protection while letting your skin breath without the greasy sunscreen mess. They also protected my arms
and hands from scratches where I occasionally hit my golf ball, which I found equally as important. Just
slip them over your arms for defense down to your fingertips. Then remove them when you don’t need
them. I found the UV Skinz Sleeves comfortable and a must-wear on those dangerous sun days. UV Skinz
are available in a variety of colors and sizes for women and men. They also have very popular child and
infant wear for those beach and pool journeys. Block the sun, not the fun!
