My Appearance "The Golf and Travel Show" 6/10/16 WWNN Palm Bch, Boca Raton

To talk Father's Day golf and travel tech items and Erin Hills / Milwaukee, I join my friend, Dan Shube on 1470 am WWNN in Palm Beach/Boca Raton. Always great to share the airwaves with Dan. Listen to my segment and show notes below...

Even though Dad may say he doesn't want or need anything for Father's Day, we beg to differ and Rick is here with some golf and travel gift possibilities...

3. REKS™ Sunglasses - Chances are Dad Needs a New Pair of Sunglasses

REKS™  is a revolutionary sunglass brand combining the highest quality shatter-resistant polycarbonate lenses with stylish, unbreakable frames all at affordable prices.  With a retail price point of $60 and under, the REKS™ lenses are the same quality of lenses found in glasses costing $150-$250.  Add in the fact that the frames are unbreakable and you have yourself a great product that will surely disrupt the marketplace.

The six iconic frame styles come in a broad array of colors and finishes including matte, gloss and Soft Touch™. REKS™ provides a range of stylish options that go from slopes to fairways to city streets with ease.
 
 
4. Miura Hybrid  - for those that have a hard time hitting hybrids

The MG Hybrid follows through smoothly after impact thanks to Miura Golf's new Circle Cut method sole shape in which a line cuts through the club's sole, creating a stepped tier on the sole and the optimal center of gravity to provide the optimal ball trajectory for a hybrid iron.

The MG Hybrid mostly focuses on the blade's height, not the head volume. The blade height is almost the same size as the height of the ball at 43mm. Thus, golfers at address can think of the MG Hybrid as an iron at address, and can hit the ball the same way as an iron. Plus, golfers also have an increased amount of relief at address.

 And then we talk some Milwaukee and Erin Hills

Erin Hills

Had the pleasure of playing Erin Hills, in Erin, WI, this week. Site of the 2017 U.S. Open and it's as tough as billed. Only 6 trees on course, but it doesn't matter. If the wind is blowing this time next year, the pro will be howling too.
