Citrus fruits – lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, etc. – have an irresistibly fresh fragrance that’s perfect for summer. Spray on one of the best citrus fragrances in the warmer months and you’ll instantly have a clean almost youthful scent that the people around you will find simply alluring.

However, you don’t want a citrus fragrance that’ll make you smell like a bad fruit salad or pitcher of lemonade. That’s where we come in. We’ve rounded up the best citrus fragrances for men that are simply refreshing yet masculine.

How to properly apply cologne

You don’t want to spray cologne all over you, as a quality strong fragrance will intensify over time. You just want a light spray on your neck and wrists; however, don’t spray one wrist and then rub your wrists together, as this will lessen the longevity of your cologne. Spray your neck and each wrist, extremely lightly.

Since the mid-20th century, Piaget has been the undisputed leader in ultra-thin watches and movements. Their latest big thing (or rather, small thing) is the Altiplano Ultimate Concept: at only 2mm thin, it’s one of the thinnest and most impressive watches ever made. Indeed, back in 2020, it was awarded the watchmaking world’s highest honour – the top prize of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, the prestigious Aiguille D’Or.

At last year’s Watches & Wonders, Piaget released the Altiplano Ultimate Concept ‘Tribute To La Côte-Aux-Fées’, a limited-edition take on the AUC with a very on-trend green colour scheme that paid homage to the eponymous Swiss Jura village where Georges Edouard Piaget founded the company back in 1874. It was easily one of the coolest watches of the fair, and remains a grail piece for many.

But Piaget has upped the ante at Watches & Wonders 2022 with an even more impressive rendition of the AUC: a one-off simply called the Piaget AUC Unique Piece that we reckon might just be the Rolls-Royce of ultra-thin watches.

Why Rolls-Royce? Well, aside from the immediate connotations of craftsmanship and exclusivity the British car marque brings to mind… Modern Rolls-Royces are famous for their ‘starlight’ headliners, which feature thousands of lights that resemble the night’s sky, and this Piaget similarly features a cosmic motif that gives off a similar air of whimsy and luxury.

The stars are actually made from Super-LumiNova, and replicate the sky above La Côte-aux-Fées at the exact date and time of the AUC’s birth: 7:47 on the 7th of February, 2017, which is also written just above 3 o’clock.

Some of the AUC Unique Piece’s other stylistic details celebrate the AUC’s genesis: the Piaget logo at 12 o’clock is in a historic font that is the same typeface used in the logo above Piaget’s manufacture in La Côte-aux-Fées, and the ratchet wheel is engraved with the manufacture’s GPS coordinates, for example.

Also like a Rolls-Royce, this is one expensive watch. It’s normally nigh-impossible to price one-offs like these: however, Piaget has told DMARGE that the price will start from AU$605,000, depending on how much the eventual client wants to customise the piece. It’s a thin watch you’ll need a fat wallet for, basically…

If you want to experience some of the best golf in Australia, then you need to check out the many golf courses in Melbourne.

Why so? Well, Melbourne houses more of Australia’s best golf courses than probably any other major city (including 4 of the top 10 courses in the country), and its “Sandbelt” region contains more championship-level golf courses than one article could possibly fit.

We like a challenge, though, so here’s our top pick of the best Melbourne golf courses. Some are private, and there are a few public courses dotted throughout for the everyday hacker.

Royal Melbourne Golf Club | Black Rock

Cheltenham Road, Black Rock, 3193

Royal Melbourne advertises itself as the pinnacle of golf in Australia, and to be honest it’s hard to argue with that assessment. Royal Melbourne actually boasts two full 18 hole golf courses, East and West, the latter of which is regularly voted the best golf course in Australia by Australian Golf Digest.

The globally renowned course is Australia’s oldest, as well as the first non-American course chosen to host the PGA President’s cup. Needless to say, if you live down under and love your golf, playing here is a must for the bucket list.

Kingston Heath Golf Club | Heatherton

Kingston Road, Cheltenham, 3192

Not content with continually placing second on lists of Australia’s best golf clubs, Kingston Heath sets itself apart by being the country’s sandiest. A staggering 128 bunkers dot the course and surround nearly every green – meaning that, in the words of the great Shooter McGavin, you’re likely to spend more time in the sand than David Hasselhoff.

Nevertheless, Kingston Heath has hosted the Australian Open 7 times, as well as several iterations of the Australian Masters, and cracks the top 20 in Golf Digest’s ranking of the world’s 100 greatest golf courses.

Brighton Golf Course | Brighton

230 Dendy Street, Brighton, 3186

It may seem odd to include a $30 course amongst some of the most exclusive golf clubs in Australia, but we’re no elitists here, and we believe Melbourne’s best golf courses belong to more than those with a wardrobe dedicated entirely to smoking jackets and chinos.

Brighton has all the hallmarks of a Sandbelt course – meaning bunkers lacing pretty much every green – with none of the intimidation and a price that caters to any level of play.

Victoria Golf Club | Cheltenham

Park Road, Cheltenham, 3192

Victoria Golf Club was designed by Oscar Damman and Bill Meade with assistance from the doyen of course architects, Dr Alister MacKenzie. The par 72 golf course has hosted many illustrious events over the years, including the Australian Open and the Women’s Australian Open, and even hosted President George Bush Sr. for a round in 1998. If that’s not a CV, we don’t know what is.

Ranfurlie Golf Club | Cranbourne

825 Cranbourne Frankston Road, Cranbourne, 3977

Ranfurlie isn’t just one of the best public golf courses in Australia, it’s one of the best golf courses in Australia overall, period. Ranfurlie combines a traditional links-style layout with Sandbelt golf which means, as we’re sure you’ve guessed by now, loads of bunkers. You can join Ranfurlie as a member to play any time you like, but it’s open to just about anyone on certain days of the week for premium golfing on a budget.

The Metropolitan Golf Club | South Oakleigh

Golf Road, Oakleigh South, 3167

Everything about the Metropolitan oozes swankiness, including its name. That being said, it’s done more than enough to earn its general air of exclusivity, from being a multiple-time host of the Australian Open to repeatedly placing in the top 20 of Golf Digest’s 100 best Australian courses. It was at the Metropolitan in 1997 that Greg Norman famously lost a sudden-death play-off by three-putting the final green. We’ve all been there.

Sanctuary Lakes Golf Club | Sanctuary Lakes

70 Greg Norman Drive, Point Cook, 3030

Designed by Greg Norman and situated on Greg Norman Drive, Sanctuary Lakes is one big homage to the Great White Shark himself. Golf Australia named it the best publicly accessible course in Melbourne, making Sanctuary Lakes an ideal stop for most anyone willing to pay a little more in the name of a properly rewarding day of golf.

Located just 20 minutes from the CBD, it has all the fittings of a championship-level course, including a full driving range. We all know you’ll shank the first drive of the day anyway.

Commonwealth Golf Club | South Oakleigh

Glennie Avenue, Oakleigh South, 3167

Just down the road from the Metropolitan is the Commonwealth golf club, a fellow member of the Seven Sisters and a true beacon of Sandbelt golf. Should you find yourself visiting Melbourne from interstate or from overseas, you can get on comparatively easily (and cheap) compared to its neighbours, although as is standard, you need to be a member of a club in the state or country where you live.

Sandringham Golf Course | Black Rock

Cheltenham Road, Cheltenham, 3192

Everything about Sandringham is a serious golf course, despite the affordable green fee. Ideal for junior golfers, seniors and just about everyone else who wants to enjoy proper Melbourne golfing, Sandringham’s layout values proper shot selection and skilful play above all else. It’s challenging, interesting, one of the best public golf courses in Melbourne and very, very good value.

Yarra Yarra Golf Club | Bentleigh East

567 Warrigal Road, Bentleigh East, 3165

Hop across the road from the Commonwealth, just a short stretch away from the Metropolitan and Kingston Heath, and you’ll find Yarra Yarra. The four, par 3 holes at Yarra Yarra are consistently ranked amongst the finest examples of golf course architecture in both the southern hemisphere and the world at large.

Should you, for whatever reason, decide not to play all of the other world-renowned courses that share the same postcode as Yarra Yarra, it definitely won’t let you down.

Woodlands Golf Club | Mordialloc

109 White St, Mordialloc, 3195

Located in the renowned Melbourne Sandbelt, The Woodlands is one of the finest golf courses in Melbourne, designed by internationally acclaimed architect Tom Doak. Though it’s one of the lesser-known golf courses, Woodlands can still hold its own and is highly regarded by golf purists. The Woodlands has a rich history and has regularly hosted Professional & Elite Amateur Tournaments, including; Victorian Opens, Victorian PGA Championships, Australian Amateur Championships and Victorian Women’s Opens.

Even though its courses are only exclusive to members, green fee play is available for non-members upon application too.

Albert Park Golf Course | Albert Park

Queens Rd &, Lakeside Dr, Melbourne, 3004

You don’t have to drive too far out to play on these grounds as this iconic golf course is conveniently situated less than 2km from the Melbourne CBD, adjacent to St Kilda Boulevard. Albert Park Golf Course has an 18-hole layout with stunning views of the city skylines, and is open to the public, making it the perfect course for those who just fancy a casual weekend of play.

Huntingdale Golf Club | South Oakleigh

Windsor Ave, Oakleigh South, 3167

Just like many other superior golf courses, this championship golf course is also located on the Melbourne Sandbelt. Huntingdale has hosted the Australian Masters 31 times and is renowned for its manicured fairways, strategic fairway bunkering and large undulating greens, ensuring their course keeps challenging even the best players.

As all golfers know, the weather can occasionally go against you, and you’ll find yourself caught in a downpour. On the flip side, you may also find yourself being subdued to the harsh sun. To help combat both of these, you need one of the best golf umbrellas.

You may feel your current golf umbrella is perfectly fine but does it actually look good? Remember, golf has always been the stylish man’s game. The fashion choices of its players have always stood out from other sports thanks to a unique blend of style and function.

From golf gloves to golf bags, everything serves a purpose to improve your game and keeps you looking fresh in the process. While the course might be the only time it’s ever acceptable to rock a visor and cardigan combo, there is one accessory that does this better than anything else, the golf umbrella.

Whenever you’re out on the green, you’re always vulnerable to mother nature and having one of the best golf umbrellas handy is the perfect answer for those hot days and unexpected rainy intervals. Whether you’re an amateur enthusiast or a professional competitor, a golf umbrella is a necessity for all levels.

Why Do I Need A Golf Umbrella?

Being in the sun all day, you’ll definitely need something more than that visor and that’s why a golf umbrella is not like your average, everyday umbrella. The canopies are larger and provide wider coverage, and are strong enough to avoid the always annoying, and often embarrassing, flip that occurs against strong winds.

Golf umbrellas also use weather-resistant fabrics like nylon and materials such as UV coating, and even fibreglass ribbing to prevent being shocked if you are ever unfortunate enough to be stuck on the green during a thunderstorm.

Like all other golf accessories, no two golf umbrellas are alike and while they all protect from the sun, some brands, like JP Lann offer golf umbrellas that have a specific function to withstand harsh, stormy weather.

What you wear on the golf course has never been more relevant than when talking about the best golf gloves. A modern staple of the game of golf, nowadays a gloveless golfer is essentially a naked golfer…and nobody wants to see that.

What to look for in a golf glove?

When looking for the right fit of golf glove, there are a few things you need to consider; feel, grip and overall comfort. It isn’t just a five-finger blanket to make you look like a pro, it is your hand, and finding the best golf glove for you might be the key to improving your game.

There’s a glove out there for all hand shapes and sizes, for any kind of shot, no matter where you are on the course. For those long, driving shots right off the tee, a golf glove will keep your hand from blistering and help to keep the club firm in your grip as you make your swing. When taking a putt, wearing a single golf glove on your dominant hand can keep the club straight and be the deciding factor to keep you under par.

What are the benefits of the best golf gloves?

While they can keep your hands safe from blisters, golf gloves can also protect you from the harsh, and annoying effects of the weather. If you are a regular on the course, you know the struggles of taking off a sweat-drenched glove and finding it the next day shrunken and shrivelled.

What’s the best golf glove?

All the major brands have brought all of their expertise and resources into making the best golf gloves to complement their comfortable and high performing golf clothing, and this buying guide combines the very best in the game from sportswear brands like Under Armour and even brands that make designing golf gloves their priority, such as Bionic.

If you like to spend the majority of your free time in the great outdoors scaling various hills or going on incredibly long treks, then you need to ensure you have some of the best hiking boots on your feet.

While men aren’t exactly left wanting when it comes to boot options that can all protect you from the elements – such as winter boots, duck boots and rain boots – only hiking boots will do if you’re going to be spending several hours on your feet.

Hiking boots can fall into a couple of categories: First, you have the traditional version that you’ll find at specialist outdoor gear stores that are made to accompany you on serious excursions up, down, and over a variety of terrains.

Then you also have designer hiking boots, produced by the likes of Danner, Moncler, and Hunter, that offer warmth and waterproofing, but in a far more stylish package.

While they’re more likely to be put through their paces scurrying around high-street shops than they are over mountain peaks, the stylish, designer option is the sort you’ll want to stock in your closet. But what should you be looking out for when searching for your own pair?

Hiking Boot Materials

A vast majority of hiking boots – or at least, the ones you’re going to want – should be made from premium materials such as leather or suede. Since they’re most likely going to be subject to a bit of rain or an occasional bout of snow at worst, these materials will be more than capable of holding their own.

You will, however, want to make sure they have a rubber sole, ideally a Vibram-branded one for ultimate quality. A chunky rubber sole will help keep you planted on the ground during inclement weather, and will go some way to helping you wade over rocks and snow should you ever decide to give them a thorough workout.

Hiking Boot Features

One of the clear signs that you’re in possession of a pair of hiking boots lies with the laces. Most hiking boots will rock either D-rings, eyelets or lace hooks to make tieing and untieing your laces easy, while also helping to make sure they remain securely fastened.

G-Shock watches are virtually in a category of their own. Introduced by Japanese watchmaking giant Casio in 1983, G-Shock – Gravitational Shock – watches were developed with the intention of being the toughest time tellers on the planet, a feat they have accomplished on many occasions.

The over-the-top designs and bold use of colour don’t have much of a chance of winning any design awards (although one model featured later did do just that) but that’s because G-Shock watches are all about the substance and function they offer the wearer. Considering they’re a favourite of industries such as the military, what it looks like will be at the bottom of a list of ‘must-haves’.

What could be seen as the root of G-Shock’s success (or to some, a potential downfall) is the sheer number of models it produces. Basic models are updated every couple of years and limited edition models, such as collaboration editions, are released regularly throughout each year.
