Welcome to Gimme That, a GOLF.com column where we’ll highlight one notable item we think you might like. Whether it’s an article of clothing, an intriguing electronic device or anything in between, we want to share these items with you because they’ve generated a bit of chatter by our water cooler (or, these days, on our Slack channel). So sit back, scroll down and keep up with the latest gear golf has to offer.
If you haven’t heard of them yet, Western Birch’s golf tees are something every golf fan should check out. Sure, you can buy dozens of regular tees at your local sporting goods store, but spend a few bucks more and get some tees that pack a little more pizzazz and are durable to boot, so they last even longer.
These sharp-looking tees have color schemes that will match most of your favorite teams or school colors, and some, like the ones they have created for us at GOLF.com, are even more personalized.
Their latest feature the iconic silhouette of Jack Nicklaus raising his putter during his triumphant 18th major win in 1986. (You can basically hear Verne Lundquist shouting “Yes, sir!” through your computer or phone screens right now, can’t you?)
These tees are perfect for the Nicklaus fans out there, so grab yours quick before they sell out — because they will. You can also check out Western Birch’s azalea tees here.
You can browse the rest of the Nicklaus ’86 collection here, or explore our Pro Shop here.
