What To Do When Guy Golfers Settle In for Football? Go Deep Into the Shopping Zone
-- -=-:::7:
'"
t's that time of year again. Like clockwork, as fall rolls around, a strange rite
of passage takes place combining high
levels of testosterone with the sudden urge
to do nothing except eat, drink and stare at
the TV with your pals. It's called gridiron
fever. So what's a woman to do while the
guys slump on her sofa nibbling chips and
peanuts? Shop? There's an idea.
Forthe golfingwoman,this is a good
time to hit the sales, perhaps pick up a sharp
new outfit for the cooler months on the
course. Or get a head start on the holidays
and find something special for that man in
your life.

For Him
Black is the new Black
Score a touchdown with the black on
black diamond-textured sweater from Jack
Nicklaus Apparel inspired by the Country
Club of the Rockies ($85). Highlight it with
a flash of bright lime green in the stripe
Performance 18 jersey ($64). It comes in
100% polyester (Coolplus@)with wicking
and UV protection. Pair it with a the 7-Wale
Corduroy black slacks (85% polyester/15%
nylon/$79)and he's good to go.Wantto

really go over the top? Spring for the black
microfleece jacket ($89). So as far as his
next gift,youare good to go. 800-598-0451
For that oh so la di dah British look,
check out Cutter & Buck's Hampstead
collection with its rich argyles and plaids
including apparel in tones of pale grey and
Charcoal Heather along with selections
in black and white ($115). We like the
Expanded Argyle Zip Mock, a winner both
on and off the course with its large-scale
argylepattern. wwwcutterbuck.com £
Bamboo fabric? Who would have
guessed? Aureus for one. They have a
bamboo tech fabric that does a great job
in wicking moisture as well as providing
SPF-15 protection. A mock neck sweater
with a half zipper comes in six colors and
-It clips right onto your bag. These make
great gifts for your golfing pals.

SOK It To Me
The Etonic G>Sok glove fits, well,
like a glove. It has a super soft Cabretta
leather palm and index finger with a back
constructed of Dri-LiteTMmicrofiber. It's a
winner ($14.99). Or for fall rain showers,
pick up a pair of Etonic G>SOK Rain
Gloves. The wetter they get, the better they
work ($20). Any serious golfer's gotta have a
pair. www.etonic.com
Cool Off, Dry Off
The two-sided frogg toggs Chilly PadTM
all-in-one towel helps you dry off or cool
down. It feels kinda strange, but it really
works. It's made from a hyper-evaporative
material that retains water while remaining dry to the touch. When wet, the towel
becomes cool. And guess what: it comes
in several colors and is machine washable.
(Keep it damp in a plastic zippy bag and it
will stay soft for weeks (and not get yucky).

Fairway and Greene can help out
the ladies, too, with their sleeveless tees,
adorable Bermuda shorts and skirt-top
ensembles. They're conservative enough for
school, but prevent the funky tan lines on
the course when you head south for some
desert practice, or to support the football
team when it hits the road. It doesn't get
much easier, or more versatile, than that.
"Knee shorts and capris are so perfect
to easily wear from golf course to college
because knee shorts are so in right now,"
says LIJA designer Linda Hipp. Isn't that
the truth? Knee shorts are the greatest
things to come to fall fashion since zip-up
hoodies. With the right accessory, they are
wearable on any walk of life. Don't forget to
grab a LIJAAvalon polo with your shorts,
too. This adorable, ruffled blouse puts a
feminine twist on a classic style.
Linda at LIJA also offers some fun
v-neck sweaters for a more collegiate look
and some lovely striped cardigans with little
elbow patches to protect your funny bone.
As for outerwear, the Kissmou vest and
jacket is unbeatable. "The vest is a really
lightweight insulated vest and it's a lot of
fun with these big navy buttons. Thi,mwe've
got the Kissmou Jacket which is a very sleek
almost Prada-like jacket but it gives you
warmth if you're in a cooler climate," Hipp
said. I think the Kissmou vest could replace
that old polyester thing you've had since
high school.
Going back to school is stressful;
schedule yourself a massage. After your
wardrobe adjustment, you're going to have
a little more free time on your hands. FG
Another Cool Idea
It's so light, you'll forget it's in your bag,
but it works great on those days when the
ground is wet and you want to keep your
clubs dry. Invented by entrepreneur Dan
Kozan, "The Keeper" is a tough, skinny
chromium stake with a vinyl handle and
top bent into a "U" shape. You grab it with
your clubs, walk to your ball, jam it into the
ground and lean your sticks against the "U."
Worksgreat. 561.302.6106
Stay Dry
Who can't use a super umbrella that
won't self-destruct in the wind? Huddle up
under a GustBuster@ with its RaindropShaped Wind Release VentsTMand double
canopy. In addition to fullback-type colors,
there is a pretty pink and white model for
the ladies along with some whimsical prints.
The Metro is especially useful as its sheath
doubles as a backpack: sling it over your
shoulder and you're on your way dowrl'the
field. www.gustbuster.com
Smoke Screen
Need we suggest a Cohiba Black
Supremo cigar? Just an idea.
Nah. Bad idea. FG
