2013

Shared from – Chapeau Noir Blog – Trends in Golf Apparel.

adidas Golf knows how to set the hook. For the past few weeks leading up to and through the Masters, Dustin Johnson has been wearing a new shoe from adidas Golf, one that until today no one knew anything about — other than the fact that they liked them, and wanted a pair.

Announced today, the mystery shoe in question is dubbed the adicross Tour, a shoe said to provide stability with flexibility, freedom of movement without sacrificing support, and lightweight comfort.

“The new adicross Tour has all the performance and support I need in a tour shoe plus a look that fits my style,” said Tour Staff Professional Dustin Johnson. “The bold colors are great and I knew it was for me the moment I saw it.”

Enjoy your walk: Jones Golf Bags, a new generation of a ’70s classic

Dec 13th
2012

Shared from – Chapeau Noir Blog – Trends in Golf Apparel.

Stuart Goldstein, CNG — As a high school golfer growing up in the late ‘70s there were some very basic equipment and gear staples: balata golf balls, persimmon woods, metal spikes and single strap Jones golf bags. Over the years these time-tested classic clubs and accessories went the way of the rotary phone. But one is making a welcome and long overdue comeback: Jones Golf Bags.

Jones Golf Bags was founded in 1971 by George Jones, a part time golfer and cab driver and full time tinkerer from Portland, Oregon. After years of refining the style and look that he wanted, the Jones brand quickly rose to become the most heavily carried golf bag in the game. It was the face of amateur, high school and collegiate golf for generations. Distinguished by its sleek, simple looks with its trademark single strap and sturdy nylon bottom base, Jones Golf Bags was designed for players who preferred to walk. But wait, there’s more…

What were you doing when you were 14?

Shared from – Chapeau Noir Blog – Trends in Golf Apparel.

Well, at 14 years of age you probaby weren’t playing in The Masters. But that’s what Tianlang Guan will be doing come April at Augusta National thanks to his win at the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship.

It will be interesting to see if a 14 year-old’s game can hold up at the Masters, but whatever happens, Guan will look every bit the role of a professional if he maintains current preference for wearing Sligo.

The reason why some golfers look more like NASCAR drivers

Oct 29th
2012

Shared from – Chapeau Noir Blog – Trends in Golf Apparel.

If you’ve ever wondered why your favorite player looks more like a NASCAR driver than he does a golfer, take a look at this interesting graphic, sent my way by Nick Jenkins. The graphic ballparks what players make to wear a company’s logo, citing no fewer than nine strategic placements.

Published in 2011 by Crescent Partners CurtComm, the numbers should still be relatively valid, but keep in mind that these numbers don’t represent every player across each of the tours cited — Joe Lunchpail who lives out of his car trying to Monday qualify for events isn’t raking in these numbers. But wait, there´s more

31 year-old Justin Rose now mature enough for Ashworth

Jun 11th
2012

As of this week’s European Tour BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth news comes that there will be no more of sporty adidas Golf wear for 31 year-old Justin Rose as he moves across the adidas TaylorMade house of brands to Ashworth.

Justin Rose is Ashworth’s newest brand ambassador.

From the press release, here’s what Rose had to say about the move:

“I am really excited about partnering with Ashworth going forward; I think that it comes at the right time for me”, says Rose, “I am now into my thirties; my sense of style has evolved over the last couple years and I am certainly a lot more clear about what I want to achieve going forward and how I want to look doing it.”

This is dear reader, may be what target demographics are all about, but here at CNG we are of the belief that style is more a state of mind than it is of brand, or of age. But wait, there’s more
