The leather bag carries an 8-inch opening and a suede divider; the FTE shell is expanded PTFE. Eighteen pieces, US prices read September 18, 2026.

[Field Notes] The Grassy Issue Social Club poster — a green over a wide Hill Country horizon
Small groups playing good courses in and around Austin. Eight to twelve players an outing, two or three tee times, walkers and riders both. No dues, no membership, no obligation to make any given one — you pay your own green fee and show up. Close in that means the munis; further out it means the ninety minutes of Hill Country most people never get around to. The list is open.

Twenty-one accessories from twenty-one brands, sorted by where each one actually lives. Bluegrass Fairway cuts this one in Louisville from American full-grain leather, 6.75 by 8 inches opened, thin enough for a back pocket. They will heat-stamp initials inside it if you ask at checkout.

Ten brands where the outdoor borrowing is structural rather than decorative. Sounder’s collaboration with Protected Species holds back a 15,000mm column of water, with seams that are laser-cut and welded instead of stitched, and a guarantee on the waterproofing that runs two years.

Eighteen putters you can buy today and two on presale, every price read off the brand’s own page on 9/16/26 — and four of the eighteen are marked down right now because the new model year lands in October.

The PGA Tour returns to Austin for the first time since 2023 — and not under the name everyone is still using. Good Good Golf stepped away as title sponsor on 8/27; the event is now the Austin Championship, and ticket sales are paused.

Frankie Kimpton booked bands in Melbourne before he made golf hats, and started with ten of them out of a garage. This is the best-selling one — a Japanese country club that does not exist.

Twenty-six brands checked, eleven with something new. Malbon put fourteen Arsham pieces up on 9/10 with no press release, no journal post and no coverage anywhere — the drop exists only in the product feed.

Neil Rennie spent years walking into Scottish pro shops and finding nothing in them made in Scotland. He came out of fashion, knew who still wove cloth, and launched Fyfe in November 2021. Everything is cut and sewn to order in a workshop in Fife.

Twelve pairs of alignment sticks, every one wood and painted or wrapped by hand, from small shops in West Virginia, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Florida, Scotland and Sweden. Thwack wraps American hickory in waxed Irish linen thread.

Forty-five pieces from an Ohio-of-the-fleece-world outlier: Après sews vintage ski-resort and country-club patches onto hi-loft sherpa headcovers, hand-sewn in California. The Fruit Looper is the print the brand is built around, and it behaves like real dye rather than a repeat pattern.

Twenty-five green repair tools from sixteen makers, from a $19.99 Frogger to a $130 Sugarloaf collab. Kraken's Crayon is CNC-milled into the exact silhouette of a Crayola, down to the wrapper ridges — and it runs in twenty colorways.

Manors' AW26 Honourable Company collection runs on merino, Primaloft and Cordura ripstop. The Merino Tech Hoodie sits at the top of it at $305 — wool regulates across a wider temperature band than fleece, which is the whole argument for autumn golf.

Gamut Golf cuts driver headcovers out of things that already existed. This one comes from an authentic Cleveland Indians jersey with a baby blue sherpa inner, and it is marked 1 of 1 — one jersey yields one cover, so it cannot be repeated.
