Post-Round Cozy Picks for the Holidays

Post-Round Cozy Picks for the Holidays

By Raymond Williams

1 mins read

There’s something about the post-round unwind that feels even better when it’s cold outside. The clubs are packed, the lights are up, and all that’s left is to slip into something soft, warm, and well-deserved. This is the season of recovery, when your golf swing gets a rest, but your comfort game stays strong.

From Tiger’s luxe hoodie at Sun Day Red to the cloud-like comfort of Lusso slippers, these pieces are built to turn downtime into an art form. Whether you’re watching holiday golf reruns or sneaking in a little putting practice in the living room, the right recovery gear makes all the difference. So pour yourself something warm, throw on your comfiest layers, and embrace the slow season. Golf can wait, but good rest shouldn’t.

REELS

In celebration of his first TOUR win, @butterfieldbdachamp champ @acschenk1 shows us how to hit a proper shank.

“This or That” with @theannikalpga Champ @linngrant. Our @addie_parker caught up with Linn earlier this year at the @adidas HQ to chat style inspiration, Solheim Cup and more.

Who’s been the player of the year: Rory or Scottie?

Welcome to the @officialskinsgame, Shane *bleeping* Lowry.

Wishing JT a speedy recovery! We’re definitely going to miss the sound bites. 😭

What started for comedian @beckyrobinson4 as a character born during the pandemic has turned into a community of women that love to laugh, golf and have a great time. Our @addie_parker and @nicole.rae_ traveled to Mexico for the first ever @entitledhousewife Tulum Classic, and it was nothing short of incredible. Read more about the greatest girls golf trip of all time at the link in bio.

More and more brands are going deep in the archives for inspiration, but it comes with a level of patience. In the latest episode of Course Café, Raymond Williams chats with @Sugarloafsocialclub founder Ian Gilley about how they draw inspiration from the past, the process of turning nostalgia into a functional product, and how they balance vintage energy with performance fabrics that actually work on the course today. Listen now at the link in bio. Presented by @bushmillsusa.

Did NOT expect Xander to whip out the switchblade. 🤣 Xander shares what’s in his bag ahead of the @officialskinsgame on Black Friday, only on Prime.

What schools did Wells miss? 🎓🤝⛳️ The @vanityindexpodcast debate which university offers the best combination of college experience and golf in this week’s edition of “Can’t Knock It”, presented by @knockaround. Watch the full episode now at the link in bio.

An all-time @officialskinsgame moment from Miss. 59. 🦅 @annikas59 went on to finish second in the 2003 edition, beating both Phil Mickelson and Mark O’Meara to take home $225,000.

The 17th hole at Panther National is going to provide quite the test for players at the @officialskinsgame. @deerap teed it up with his @bushnellgolf Pro X3+ to find out just how tough it will play.

Earlier this year, pre-Hurricane Melissa, @erikanderslang traveled to Jamaica to film Adventures in Golf, where he met amazing people like Chickonee who embodied the spirit of the Island. Link in bio to see the supernatural stories Erik uncovered, and how you can help Jamaica rebuild.

The EXTREMELY rare dunked double eagle from @nickhardy24 at last year’s @butterfieldbdachamp.

Easiest way to win a skin, just put it in the hole. The @capitalone countdown says we’re just 16 days away from @officialskinsgame’s return. 📆

Would you rather have a hole-in-one at your home course or play average at your dream course? Well, Chad’s already checked off both. 🤣 @chadmumm and @wellsadams discuss in the latest episode of @vanityindexpodcast, presented by @jlabaudio. Watch the full episode now at the link in bio.
