While this week might be a tough time to be a Nittany Lion, I’ve never shied away from being a proud Penn State fan.
So when it came time to grab a pair of alignment sticks, I was instantly drawn to The Nautical color Hazy Sticks and their navy and white tones. I thought it was a perfect, subtle nod to my alma mater which was lacking from my bag (I regrettably don’t have a Penn State headcover).
Then I discovered there was a way to make them better.
When you purchase a pair of Hazy Sticks from Fairway Jockey, you get the option to customize even further by adding free engraving to each rod.
I went with the familiar chant of Penn State fans: “We Are” on one, “Penn State” on the other.
Of course, you don’t have to be a Penn State fan to make Hazy Sticks your own. Fairway Jockey offers 15 different colorways to choose from.
University of North Carolina fans will likely be drawn to the “Carolina Blues” colorway, while Florida Gators will like the blue and orange colors of “The Swamp.”
It’s not just limited to college sports either. There’s a red, black and white option that is sure to appeal to Chicago Bulls fans, as it’s aptly named “96 Bulls.” The New England Patriots also get some love with “The Patriot.”
Each Hazy Stick is made from hickory — 45 inches long and three-eighths inch in diameter — with a glass protective coating and nickel end caps. Not only do they look much better than the typical fiberglass alignment rods in your bag, but they also are significantly lighter. Believe me, you’ll notice the difference!
The uses for alignment sticks are endless, from helping you on the range to holding headcovers while you hit a shot. You can scroll all 15 color options below and be sure to think of something creative for the engraving!
