My Appearance on 'The Golf and Travel Show' with Dan Shube 6/5/15

Always great to be on "The Golf and Travel Show" with Dan Shube on AM 1470 WWNN in West Palm Beach to talk golf and travel gadgets. I joined him live on June 5 and this segment will also air on 740 am WSBR in Boca Raton. We covered a lot of ground and we talked what would make great gifts for dad on Father's Day

Have a listen to both parts:

3.  New Balance Golf Shoes - Specifically the 574  (GOLF)

Golf shoes continue to look more and more like running or comfortable fitness shoes

Inspired by our classic 574 sneaker, this men’s golf shoe combines New Balance comfort, durability and style with golf-specific technologies designed to enhance traction, stability, and ultimately, your game. For traction, the shoe features a treaded Ndurance® rubber outsole. Our revolutionary REVlite midsole, originally designed to provide lightweight cushioning to marathoners, help keep feet comfortable whether you’re walking the course or concentrating on your swing.

Breathable mesh upper

 

4. Beats By Dr. Dre  Powerbeats 2 wireless earbuds  (GOLF OR TRAVEL OR WORKOUT)

Sweat and water resistant from the earbud to the tangle-free wrap around cable, with over-molding on the RemoteTalkTM for a no-slip grip when changing volume, switching tracks, and making hands-free calls.

Designed for athletes, and it looks like they were designed by athletes or at the very least, some athletes were consultants on these earbuds as they fit nicely in the ear and can handles the rigors that an athlete endures as he walks, runs, bikes and trains.
The inspiration here is supposedly LeBron James, but since these earbuds are light, durable and produce great sound, they could be for anyone that listens to music outdoors or in extreme conditions.
 

5. Microsoft Surface 3 Pro  (TRAVEL)

It's a full Windows PC  and a tablet all-in-one  - great to take on the road
$799 and up...
 

6. Under Armour Cold Black clothing line  -  Worn by Jordan Spieth

Wear it for golf or anytime.

"Black out the Sun"
Most fabrics—especially dark colors—heat up & become unbearable in the blazing sun. Well, no more. Revolutionary coldblack® technology makes dark colors act more like light colors & light colors act like nothing else. It also has the benefit of protecting your skin from sun damage.


7.  2XU Compression Gear and Socks (Travel)

Wear compression gear and socks for recovery from a workout or for travel.

COMPRESSION HELPS YOU TRAIN LONGER, PERFORM STRONGER + RECOVER FASTER

Compression clothing has been proven to improve athlete performance before, during and after activity through improved circulation, muscle containment and reduced muscle vibration.

Keeps you blood flowing on long flights.
 
8.  My Bobby Grace putter

Designed for me to my specs by Bobby Grace.

- I've never made so many long putts in my life.
I told Booby that I liked a heavy putter ahd he delivered with an "Amazing Grace."

A large-looking heavy putter that rolls the ball beautifully. The putter is balanced perfectly, per Bobby and it forces me to grip it tight and concentrate to keep the putter's head going forward and straight.

I see that once the face of the putter contacts the ball, the roll is a delight to watch. The soft faces seems to grip the ball and then send it the exact direction I was desiring (or hopefully aiming.)

 
 Bonus-  for keeping tabs on the weather  -  important for golfers

Freeplay's Encore Buddy is a weather alert radio   $70

The Encore Buddy, weather alert radio allows you to keep both ears on the weather, when the need arises.
