{Golfing} Into Halloween – GolfBlogger Golf Weblog

Halloween is second solely to Christmas as the biggest business vacation in the USA.

I’m unsure what that claims about us as a nation, however given the merchandising alternatives, it isn’t shocking that a number of golf corporations are having enjoyable with it. Given the large scope of the style — from books to motion pictures, comics, video video games, board video games and different artwork varieties — there’s plenty of room to work.

(For what it’s price, I wrote a e book on Halloween legends.)

One among my favourite golf corporations — True Linkswear — has been on the recreation for years with their “Lifeless Golfer Society” sneakers, clothes and niknaks.

This 12 months, they’ve obtained new OG3 Professional Lifeless Golfer sneakers, slides, t shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts and extra.

I significantly just like the OG3 Professional Lifeless Golfer sneakers (proven above). Their crew neck sweatshirt can be candy.

One other fave — SuperStroke — has additionally supplied Halloween themed merchandise for a number of years.

This 12 months’s particular version grip options Zombies and glows in the dead of night. Undecided in regards to the utility of a glow in the dead of night golf grip, but it surely’s cool.

In previous years, they supplied Masked Slasher and a Headless Horseman Grip. I’m nonetheless kicking myself for not getting a Headless Horseman grip.

Tremendous Stroke has a Marvel license, so I feel they need to produce a Werewolf By Night time or Tomb of Dracula grip. I’ve obtained considered one of their Iron Man Tour 2.0 putter grips, and it’s nice.

Over time, I’ve gathered a few Halloweeny driver headcovers. Within the photograph above, the one on the left is a barrel-style mannequin from True Linkswear.

The one within the heart is from Hell For Leather-based Golf, which I ordered from England earlier than the tariffs. Whereas some might not think about Godzilla a part of the horror style, I completely suppose it belongs to a class of “atomic horror.”

The corporate that makes the Godzilla cowl Hell for Leather-based has plenty of cool headcovers from quite a lot of geeky genres. They’re in England, nevertheless, and I ordered earlier than the tariffs, so who is aware of about their availablity at this level.

The Grim Reaper headcover I purchased from Amazon.

Principally, nevertheless, the Halloween headcovers are an uninspired a lot of skulls — both of the sugar cranium or Punisher selection. There’s additionally means an excessive amount of cranium and crossbones themed gear.

I desire a Cthulhu themed headcover. As with Lovecraftian Horrors, golf is stuffed with issues Man Was Not Meant To Know.

To that finish, I had AI generate the Cthulhu Driver headcover above.

Callaway has a restricted version Chrome Tour golf ball with a chainsaw imprint. That’s not dangerous, however the Chrome Tour is out of my worth vary.

Bridgestone has introduced its “Boo” golf ball again. When it first got here out, it was an homage to “Boo” Weekley, considered one of their tour gamers.

TaylorMade has a Pirate and Werewolf assortment of golf balls and headcovers. Their Full Moon blade putter headcover is tempting.

Lastly, I not too long ago found an organization referred to as Roosevelts (rsvlts.com), which has an enormous collection of geeky attire and equipment. They’ve obtained gear with Scooby Doo, Disney, Normal Mill’s monster cereal characters (Rely Chocula, and so forth), Common Monsters, Marvel Zombies, Batman, the Peanuts, skeletal canine, Mars Assaults, Goosebumps, Disney villians and a lot extra. A lot of it’s attire, although. I haven’t purchased something from them, so I can’t touch upon high quality and such.

If you already know of another cool Halloween-themed golf gear, depart a remark.
