The Shorts I Live In All Summer

A couple years ago, I bought myself a pair of big, boxy, beautifully baggy shorts from Nike's cult-favorite ACG ("All Conditions Gear") line.

We’re sitting in his 1993 Range Rover Classic during a Brooklyn summer scorcher. He’s telling me about growing up in Australia. When suddenly it hits him—and me, too—that he was pretty much destined to shake up the golf world in the manner he has been since he launched Gumtree Golf & Nature Club.
