Golfing With Great White Sharks in Nova Scotia

[Hypegolf] November 16, 2023 Weekly Digest 🦞 Cabot Cape Breton Is Golf in Its Purest Form TLDR: For the first edition of our new travel series, we traveled to Nova Scotia to stay at Cabot Cape Breton, which has two world renowned golf courses plus first in class accommodations. Why It Matters: To someone from Nova Scotia, the name Cabot (which comes from an 18th century explorer) is associated with the area around Cape Breton. To a golfer though, Cabot is nothing short of the pinnacle in golf hospitality. Cabot Cape Breton has been so successfull since it opened that the Cabot name has been spun into a whole brand with locations opening up soon in Florida, St. Lucia and Scotland. In this new series, we plan to highlight the travel destinations that are defining golf hospitality.

Why It Matters: Thus far, Jain Golf has resisted the temptation to release a traditional collection, instead opting for small releases of coffee table books, golf bags and even baby clothes. In a time when people are increasingly skeptical of new golf apparel brands, this has really lended Jain a leg up over the competition. With JAINCORE though (cleverly named as a collection of core essentials), fans of the brand can start to see how its unique aesthetic translates into simple garments like t-shirts, hoodies, crewnecks and crop tops.

Why It Matters: We tend to talk a lot about lifestyle golf apparel, which makes sense given that a lot of today's new players care more about getting off a fit than shooting a career low round. But the fact of the matter is, not everyone wants to wear cotton year round, especially those living in warmer parts of the world (wink-wink Australia). So Walker Golf Things is hoping to remove that choice altogether with this new collection.

TLDR: The first in a mini series about technical and premium materials that are omnipresent in the golf space. We start with cabretta leather, which is leather made from hair sheep. Why It Matters: Cabretta leather is commonly accepted as the go-to premium material for golf gloves, but not too many people understand why. In essence, it can be boiled down to three things. First is feel, cabretta is both thin and durable, allowing for a better connection between the hands and club. Second is texture, cabretta just looks luxurious and shiny to the eye due to its close fibers. And finally, it's very easy to dye, so it can be easily branded.

Why It Matters: If you like timeless, throwback stuff, there are so many ways in golf to show you're a student of the game. Using the Grip Rite Swing Rite is definitely a sign of an OG, and Golf Pride has updated the iconic design to make it more functional for today's players.
