Green with Envy: Luxury Golf Accessories

Candace Leigh Coulombe
The EDS Byron Nelson Championship has raised more money for charity than any other stop on the PGA Tour. In fact, the event will reach the $100 million milestone in charitable giving this year. So while spectators swoon over the enviable talents of Money Listers John Rollins, Charles Howell III, and Charley Hoffman, the Salesmanship Club Youth and Family Centers will also reap the benefits. Championship proceeds will provide mental health and education services for local children and families. Yet fashion doesn't stop for philanthropy. There's no reason not to look great on the green while giving to a good cause. Indulge in a few of the sleek accessories shown, and you're sure to look like a pro.

Putt for Dough

Invest in the right tools to get the job done. A precision-milled putter is makes a valuable improvement in the short game. This 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum putter with a 303 stainless steel backweight perfectly triangulates weight distribution for enhanced dynamic stability. The result? A perfectly curved path to the winning hole.

The It Bag

Play king of clubs with the ultimate in golf bags. The monogram-happy brand goes sleek, lightweight and strong. Composed of durable Damier Géant canvas and cowhide trim, the bag looks luxe, but provides plenty of practical pads and pockets.

Tread Swell
Carry old-school cool from the course to the clubhouse. Two-tone cleats are always in style, whether in black and white or cognac and bison. This classic sports inarguable comfort, so concentration stays on the game. Superior traction and waterproof Gore-Tex liners are a comfortable bonus-looking the part of Gatsby is the best feature.

ECCO World Class Wingtip GTX, $400 (www.ecco.com)

White Heat

Get tour-level spin with the right gear. This Callaway ball has a softer feel, but is still hot on the green. Three-piece construction, hex aerodynamic "dimples" and improved finish improve durability. You'll lose a few long before they stop looking new.

Drinks on the Links

A grand Highland game calls for a grand Highland spirit. To celebrate an exceptional score (or commiserate an exception) swill two fingers of a fine triple-distilled single malt scotch. The bold copper color of Auchentoshan belies its subtle flavor. Enjoy a warm palette of chocolate, mint, oak and honey with a long, smooth finish.

Peek-a-Boo Plaid

Argyle sweater vests and madras pants may be a thing of the past, but a flash of plaid still is fabulous in the present. A bit of Burberry adds interest to the season's clean, tech-savvy apparel. Lady duffers get flirty in a flat front golf skirt with twin inverted pleats. Gents get check-mated with signature embroidery on the wrist tab closure of the leather golf glove.
