Puma Golf is opening the spring and summer season with fresh new-look apparel offerings for both men and women that even sport a unique name in addition to trendy and stylish fabrics and designs that are truly at the forefront.

The Gust O’ Wind Collection for both men and women include elevated, performance-ready styles featuring premium materials and a bold swirling cloud pattern just for starters.

The men’s Matter Gust O ’Wind polo is made with a timeless pattern and a full cut that is comfortable and lightweight on the course--and looks just as good in the grill room after a round. With 50+ UPF sun protection. This polo is designed with enhanced stretch of 92% polyester and 8% elastane that not only is very breathable but is moisture wicking and fast drying as well.

Highlighting the women’s side of the collection are polos with similar cloud patterns, along with a unique floral pattern top that is a partnership between

Puma Golf and Duvin to deliver this vibrant, lightweight polo that is a genderless style designed to be worn by both men and women.

With an all-new, flattering waistband and fresh new colors, the PWRSHAPE skirt is a terrific addition to the women’s collection. Pair it with your go-to polo and your style will be effortless every time you dress for the course. These sleek and stylish designs are very modern and fashionable, yet comfortable to wear. They look fabulous on the course and off.

Another new edition for the ladies is the Alphacat spikeless golf shoe that is both stylish and comfortable on or off the links. Pushing the boundaries of performance, style, and comfort, the ProAdapt Alphacat combines a new multi-material traction system with premium technologies to give you the Alpha of all spikeless footwear.

The multi-material Proadapt outsole combines high-durometer, abrasion resistant TPU perimeter chassis that provides a stable under foot feel while multiple shapes of lugs provide ridiculous ground gripping traction. The upper features a new Exoshell material that is engineered to provide light weight structure and a one-year waterproof warranty.

In addition, the Gust O’ Wind collection also sports several nice caps to finish the look off, along with stand bags that match this very modern look.

Having the proper alignment is the backbone of a good golf stroke—be it a full swing or a putt to save par. Tour Aim-distributed by GolfTrainingAids.com--is an easy-to-use tool that conveniently sets your swing path on the driving range or when taking practice swings indoors. On the putting green or a practice mat, the Tour Aim easily converts to the putting mode in seconds with three different guidelines and a small target hole to make sure you are keeping the flat stick on the correct path through the swing.

Because of its unique design, the Tour Aim will reveal your putting stroke flaws very quickly--and is a great tool to make sure you practice the correct take-away and follow-thru without moving the putter head.

Tour Aim was designed and produced by Tour Aim’s founder and CEO, Noah Wolf. He could only get away during the week to squeeze in some range time and had terrible range habits. Wolf found using swing aids and alignment sticks cumbersome to use and he was not sure how they were supposed to help him align and aim. After hitting ball after ball, not paying attention to alignment and aim, some bad swing habits developed. These habits translated to high scores and lots of lost balls on the golf course.

With the sole focus of making practicing golf more effective and efficient, Wolf created Tour Aim. With every aspect of the golf swing starting with proper alignment and aim, he quickly saw the benefits of using Tour Aim as an effective practice tool. As a result, his handicap dropped from 11 to 6 in three months. With these results and feedback from hundreds of golfers and teaching pros, Wolf brought Tour Aim to the market. Now hundreds of teaching pros and amateurs around the world are using Tour Aim to improve their games and their student’s games.

Tour Aim is quite easy and straight forward to use, and fits neatly in a stand golf bag, making it perfect to take to the range for practice.

Golf courses are unpredictable places and occasionally players suffer cuts, scrapes, insect bites and whatever else can happen outside in all types of weather and conditions.

A small emergency kit is something that all players should have in their golf bags for those unexpected occurrences that can leave one bleeding or nursing a nasty bite wound.

The latest item for those emergency kits takes bandaging up a wound to the next level. DrySee waterproof bandages are not only the first bandages built to keep moisture out, but measure the quality of the protection with its wetness indicator.

The liquid indicating perimeter of the bandage will turn dark blue if moisture enters the bandage from the outside— prior to reaching the wound site. Average bandages found in standard first aid kits do not fully seal off a wound, so you risk getting sweat, germs and bacteria getting into your wound.

The low exudate center pad measures moisture from the wound and will change color with saturation, letting the wearer know when it is time to change the bandage.

The pads come in their own sterile enclosures that are easy to pack in your golf bag for emergencies and come in a variety of sizes. This product also can come in handy to get you back on the links following a small procedure or cut, since they offer great waterproof protection and let you know when it is time to change the dressing— which can be used for up to four days.
