Green with Envy: Luxury Golf Accessories

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.

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.
