About
It is the end of the week, everyone is tired and just needs to get through to the weekend. So for a last minute pick me up let me introduce you to Forewind Golf, a brand that combines decades of golf industry expertise with a touch of environmental consciousness.
Created by the talented Michael Norcia, co-founder of STERNLINES, Forewind Golf brings you a range of golf bags and accessories made entirely from reclaimed sails and boating canvas. How cool is that?
Sails, those magnificent wind-catchers, possess exceptional durability and strength, making them the perfect choice for creating stylish golf accessories. These reclaimed materials are not only lightweight but also quick-drying, ensuring your gear stays in top shape during those intense golfing sessions. And when we say rugged, we mean it. These accessories are built to last, just like your love for the game.
Now, let's take a peek behind the scenes of Forewind Golf's production process. It all begins in the sail loft of the Northeast, where the raw sail, having reached the end of its competitive racing life, embarks on a new journey. Carefully measured, cleaned, cut, and shaped, these sails are transformed into unique pieces that exude character and style. Each product is a testament to the inherent beauty and functionality of the original sail.
Once the material has been prepared, it finds its way into the skilled hands of Forewind Golf's expert stitchers and embroiderers based in Maine and New Hampshire. With meticulous attention to detail, they bring these reclaimed materials to life, handcrafting your final purchase with utmost care and precision. The result? A headcover or accessory that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also sustainable and durable.
When your eagerly awaited package from Forewind Golf finally arrives at your doorstep, you'll be greeted with a perfect storm of creativity, sustainability, and simplicity. From start to finish, every step of the design, development, and shipping process is done by hand, ensuring that you, the individual golfer, receive a truly one-of-a-kind product. Just like your golf swing.
Rooted in the charm of New England, Forewind Golf embraces its heritage by utilising lightweight, durable recycled sail cloth as the primary material for its boutique headcovers and accessories. So not only will you be hitting the links in style, but you'll also be doing your part to protect our environment.

Put the ego aside
If you're looking to up your game, it's time to start paying attention to the tees you choose. According to a report by the USGA and R&A, most golfers, both male and female, (Yes I’m talking to you) don't hit the ball very far. Despite this, many still play from tee boxes that are too ambitious for their skill level.
It's time to ditch the misconception that you should always play from the tips. The evidence is clear: most golfers play from tees that exceed their abilities. But there's hope! The USGA has introduced a new initiative called "Best Tees," aimed at helping golfers select the right tees based on their performance data. This data-driven system recommends tee lengths based on your 7-iron distance, providing a customisable solution for every player.
Playing from tees that suit your ability is crucial for an enjoyable golf experience. The "Best Tees" system is being tested at various courses across the country, and feedback from these tests will lead to further improvements before its wider rollout after 2023.
Don't be that golfer struggling from too far back. Choose the right tees, improve your game, and have a blast on the course. Remember, 99% of PGA and LPGA professionals agree that playing from the right tees enhances your golfing experience. It's time to tee it forward and take your game to new heights
Here are some reasons why you should give the forward tees a try:
More birdies: Playing from the forward tees gives you more birdie opportunities. Who doesn't love making birdies? It boosts your confidence and makes you feel like a pro. Plus, it's a whole lot of fun.
Work with scoring clubs: Teeing it forward means you'll be hitting your short irons and wedges more often. These clubs are essential for scoring, and taking them from the range to the course can do wonders for your game. You'll get valuable experience hitting these clubs close to the hole, taking your game to the next level.
Quicker pace of play: Playing up can significantly improve the pace of play. Fewer big numbers mean better pace of play, benefiting everyone on the course.
More fun: Ultimately, the most important reason to try the forward tees is the sheer fun they bring. Having birdie looks on every hole is a blast, and it gives you a taste of how the pros play. Break free from the stigma and give yourself a real chance at posting a low number. You'll have more fun on the course than ever before.
