There are two schools of polo-wearers.

The first, the stylers. Those who love to wear colorful prints and exciting designs, who obsess over having the most “in style” variation of everything. A round of golf isn’t to be played if it isn’t to be played while wearing clothing with the proper gusto.

This article is for the other school of polo-wearers: the gamers. These golfers are about performance fabrics, moisture-wicking technology and (most importantly) a commitment to wearing the best clothing for achieving peak performance on the course.

While these shirts might still show some flair, their commitment to providing you with the greatest opportunity for success during your round is truly what makes them stand out.

Under Armour Iso-Chill Polo

Under Armour’s Iso-Chill Shadow Polo will keep you cool even when it’s hot. The Iso-Chill technology stays cool to the touch and disperses body heat. Moisture-wicking material wicks away sweat and dries fast. The low profile collar provides a modern look and feel.

Puma “Twelve” Polo

Okay, hear us out. We get that this one doesn’t fall directly into the “gamer” column, but what shirt says high performance more than the one designed around one of the most terrifying tee shots in golf — the 12th at Augusta National. It’s a wacky design, but performance fabric, moisture-wicking capabilities (and its ties to the Masters) make it more than worthy of a spot in the performance category.

The post This up-and-coming golf brand is perfect for father-son duos appeared first on Golf.

Stephen Hoffman and his son, Boston, picked up golf at the same time. Stephen had always been a baseball player, but got into golf later in life; Boston was just 2 years old when he first picked up a club. By the age of 6, Boston began taking lessons with Mike Thomas, Justin Thomas’ dad, and competing in national junior golf tournaments. There was just one problem — junior golf clothes were boring.

Boston had a closet full of polos, but none of them fit just right. Plus, the father-son, caddie-player duo loved to match on the course, so when Boston told his dad he wanted to dress like Justin Thomas, they had an idea — Boston Scott Golf. 

Stephen Hoffman, an analytical thinker with a computer science background, took a logical approach to shirt design. He and Boston discussed everything that was wrong with polo shirts — some are too slim, others too big, the sleeves are too long, there isn’t enough room in the armpit, the back ends up looking like a tail when untucked, the collar doesn’t stay up, etc. They ripped apart dozens of shirts, created their own patterns, secured a patent for their designs and, thanks to a connection from a former business endeavor, easily found a manufacturer. 

They wore them to a few tournaments and received amazing feedback from other families on the junior golf circuit. The unique patterns were refreshing in the junior golf space, and the men’s shirts sold on consignment at country clubs up and down the east coast. They even started to generate chatter among mini-tour players, but they wanted to think bigger. Their minds wandered to the PGA Tour.

Earlier in 2020, Scott Piercy created some controversy over some social media remarks and consequently lost his clothing sponsorship. Boston Scott, a family-friendly brand, did not take the remarks lightly, but decided that everyone deserves a second chance. They got to know Piercy, listened to his apology, vetted his reputation through other PGA Tour friends and developed a relationship with him and his family. They knew pretty quickly that Piercy was their guy.

Right now, Boston Scott sells a wide variety of patterned shirts and a few accessories, like hats and belts. A proprietary fabric construction method tightens size variance to almost zero, so once you know your size, you can order any color or pattern. Soon, the brand will release pants and shorts using a fabric technology that will help it feel cool to the touch even on the hottest of days. They’re also working on a new golf shoe, which you can expect to see on Piercy in the coming months. A line of women’s clothes, too, are on the horizon.

A few weeks ago, we joined our friends over at BreakingT to get into the mask-making game. As we anticipate a summer of masked golf, we thought it was not only awesome, but necessary to create golf-specific masks and donate the proceeds to worthy causes.

But we loved the masks so much, we figured: Why stop there? So we got to work and designed five golf-themed T-shirts to wear all summer long. Scroll down to see our new designs!

Hit Bombs

Phil Mickelson’s favorite saying has quickly become one of the most common ways to talk about hitting a driver. Of course, every golfer aspires to hit the ball farther and hit bombs off every tee. Buy this for yourself or as a gift for the long driver in your foursome.

I Miss AK

Remember Anthony Kim? I mean, how could you forget those shiny, over-the-top belts he’d rock week after week? Get this tee to remind your buddies of the legend.

Stinger

We can all relate to the feeling of hitting a drive so great that you can pick up your tee without even watching the ball land. Hopefully this shirt will inspire you to hit more of those tee-grabbers — and maybe even a few stingers along the way.
