Hurray! These new golf umbrellas are anything but boring.

Most golf umbrellas — while functional — don’t exactly make a grand fashion statement. They’re often basic colors like navy blue and black, with a giant manufacturer’s logo emblazoned on the side. And many “cute” umbrellas in the market simply aren’t big enough to be useful on a golf course.
Luckily for style-savvy players, Burton Golf is stepping up with a truly perfect solution: umbrellas that are big enough for use on the course that also come in a variety of pretty prints.
The brand’s LDX wind vent umbrellas feature Southwind Apparel’s (a women’s clothing brand) Chesapeake Bay-inspired prints. The three unique patterns coincide with items in Southwind Apparel’s clothing line, as well as Burton’s own line of LDX cart bags.
The umbrellas feature a double-vented canopy system to combat high-wind conditions (i.e., to help prevent the dreaded upside-down inverted umbrella), and in the event you inadvertently find yourself in a dicey weather situation on the course, the materials do not conduct electricity. With a 62-inch diameter, the umbrella is large enough for maximum coverage and includes a non-slip ergonomic cushion grip, reinforced fiberglass shaft, ribs and hub, and hook and loop closure straps.
The best part? The LDX umbrellas retail for $34.95. You can purchase yours at burtongolf.com.
As a four-year member of Columbia’s inaugural class of female varsity golfers, Jessica can out-birdie everyone on the masthead. She can out-hustle them in the office, too, where she’s primarily responsible for producing both print and online features, and overseeing major special projects, such as GOLF’s inaugural Style Issue, which debuted in February 2018. Her original interview series, “A Round With,” debuted in November of 2015, and appeared in both in the magazine and in video form on GOLF.com.
