The Coolest Golf Bags For The Super Stylish Golfer
The Coolest Golf Bags For The Super Stylish Golfer

Golf, one of the most popular sports in the world, has been proven to improve both physical and mental health, however, the little-known key to a perfect game of golf is having the best possible equipment whilst looking effortlessly fashionable. Forget clubs for movement, we’re talking about having the best golf bag on the course.

Looking fashionable can be easily achieved by wearing stylish golf attire, but your look can be elevated with a sophisticated golf bag. But you need a golf bag that’s also functional so you can entirely focus on your game. A cool golf bag will keep your clubs protected and organised, will easily hold all of your golf necessities, and won’t tire you out when lugging it from hole to hole.

Features to look for in a golf bag

The best golf bags need to have features that strike a balance between function, comfort, and style. Are you a walker or cart rider? Or do you feel the need to store extra accessories like a rangefinder? Once you’ve figured these out, you can assess what type of golf bag you need (see below).

All types of golf bags, however, should have some of the same essential features; pockets are an ideal feature to help you stash any accessories such as golf balls, tees, and even your necessities like your phone and water bottle. Another essential feature to look out for is the strap because you will eventually lug the bag from hole to hole, so a comfortable, padded strap is a must-have as it’ll keep your shoulders healthy for those later rounds.

Different types of golf bags

There are many types of golf bags, with the most common type being the carry bag, which is the smallest and lightest option. They are sometimes known as Sunday bags because they are generally used during casual rounds and for those golfers who want to walk the course and not be weighed down.

Another type that you will come across regularly as you shop around, is the stand bag. They come with two retractable legs that cause them to stand, making it easy to access your golf clubs between holes.

Finally, there’s the cart golf bag, which is specifically designed to sit on the back of push carts or powered golf carts. Cart bags are the largest and heaviest types of golf bags, so if you’re a golfer who likes to bring a lot of equipment to the course, a cart bag is the golf bag of choice for you.

Golf Bag FAQs

What should I look for in a golf bag?

Overall, your golf bag must feel comfortable, even with all your clubs in it. One pocket for each wood and short iron is good. To store the middle and long irons, two packets in the middle of the bag will do.

What is the best golf bag for walking?

If you prefer to walk while playing golf, a stand bag is your standard option. You may also use a lightweight Sunday bag or a hybrid bag with more space for storage and a well-padded strap.

How to best organize a golf bag?

Obviously, place your clubs in their designated spaces. For your golf balls and tees, we recommend you store them in a zippered pocket at the bottom of your bag. You may also want to put sunscreen and a bottled drink in a separate zippered pocket.

How To Get David Beckham's Style In Five Easy Steps
How To Get David Beckham's Style In Five Easy Steps

Ever wondered how to get David Beckham style? The football player wields a multi-stringed bow. Women swoon over the footballer for his God-given grin, and men envy his ability to strike a ball – and score. The Briton’s poignant quiff and chiselled jaw has been splashed across the cover of big-name magazines making his face one of the most recognised faces in the business.

Despite his retirement in 2013, the man still remains a top scorer in our book when it comes to personal style.

Today we show you how to steal five of the man’s most iconic looks.

Breaking it down: David Beckham Style

Beckham shops like most men should; filling his wardrobe with staple tailored pieces that hang alongside easy loungewear jerseys and leather jackets. Off-duty, he dominates comfort looks and has no trouble balancing the complexities of smart casual wear.

He favours the tux on the red carpet and isn’t shy on shorts and shirts snapped up from his athletic kit. Beckham’s thematic approach to style sees him play many roles. There is Beckham the biker and Brooklyn hipster Becks; James Bond Beckham and David Beckham Esquire – the English gent.

To sum him up in one simple sentence: Ralph Lauren suits, navy overcoats, denim shirts and Christian Louboutin shoes – topped off with a flat cap or beanie, of course.

Key looks

The Sophisticated Moto Cafe Racer

Pushing a black cropped leather biker jacket with plain white or grey tee, Beckham channels a modern Marlon Brando; from the airport to doing the groceries, to posing for a Belstaff campaign. Bottomed out with slim black wash jeans and a leather Chelsea boot, his cruise-y biker look rides easy – work, rest and play.

The Sartorial Hipster

Beckham isn’t a hipster but he likes to spruce his casual look with Brooklyn-inspired accessories. The slouch beanie and beaded bracelets are two favourites, paired with a red plaid shirt worn open and vintage leather carryall. Double denim is also key for Becks, opting for light denim button downs over washed out black or raw denim jeans. Layer the shirt haphazardly over a plain tee: roll up the sleeves, roughly tuck it in and never fully button to the neck (revealing the fitted tee underneath).

The Timeless English Gent

Heavy weight cable knit jumpers or cardigans are often paired with train driver/flat caps in Herringbone – for night and day wear. Beckham layers textured cashmere jumpers with slim-fit navy outerwear pieces such as three-quarter length coats. And the coats always have a defining point of detail such as a leather collar or brass nautical buttons. Tweed and check blazers in ochre yellow are a third gentlemanly look worn over khaki chinos.

The Casino Royale High Roller

The tuxedo is Beckham’s go-to suit for the red carpet. With most celebs like Pharrell sporting athleisure looks (think blazers and sneakers) this season, Beckham channels 007-class in a sapphire blue suit with contrast black lapel. Keep it simple with patent black derby shoes.

The ‘Seal The Deal’ Business Hotshot

Corporate Beckham opts for razor cut jackets with slim (but not overly so) trousers in wool. Not much of a black fan for tailoring, Beckham usually suits up in tobacco browns, navy and charcoal grey. His choice of suit for a meeting or business lunch is typically single breasted with a white shirt and navy tie.

Essential Beckham Fashion Items

Shirts

Blue denim/chambray monogrammed shirt from Louis Vuitton or Levi’s vintage wash denim shirt. For suiting, Beckham favours Ralph Lauren Black Label crisp whites. He takes his tees from his self-designed H&M range, particularly the long sleeve henley.

Jackets

The Hugo Boss ‘Orange Joser’ leather jacket offers a classic Becks look in dark brown leather. So to does the Belstaff ‘Stannard’ biker jacket with black quilted shoulder. For denim, go for Acne’s ‘Jam Shearling Collar’ raw denim jacket with wool collar.

Suit

Dior Homme’s sapphire blue suit is Beckham’s suave alternative to black. For the casino, a white contrast lapel dinner jacket and black pants from Ralph Lauren is best. The Ralph Lauren Black Label three piece suit is a statement piece, paired with the brand’s Purple Label silk tie, white silk square and brown polished leather lace-ups. Separating the pants and jacket, Ralph Lauren-obsessed Becks goes for Polo Ralph Lauren ‘Sport Coat’ and wool trouser for some unashamed mono-branding.

Sweater

Beckham is an avid fan of French brand Maison Martin Margiela and its cable knit jumper. His other recent favourite is Missoni’s zigzag wool blend cardigan heavier winter layering. For the gym and more lightweight comfort, look to Givenchy graphic sweatshirts such as the ‘Stars and Stripes’ or Kenzo’s ‘Tiger Face’ jumper.

Blazer

The leather collared coat from Saint Laurent layers well over cardigans and knits is an obvious choice for Becks in navy. Meanwhile, the Junya Watanabe ‘Field Coat’ in grey with brown suede detailing is a great adventure option.

Shoes & Boots

Beckham rarely attends a formal event without his Christian Louboutin ‘New Orleans’ lace up derby shoes. And the Adidas ambassador only sports the retro German brand’s sneakers, favouring the ‘Stan Smith’ model most recently.

Hats

Herringbone flat caps from Ted Baker and milliner Jaxon Hats are great interpretations of the allusive Becks cap. Stick to navy (Beckham’s favourite colour for winter pieces) or traditional green tweed hues for authenticity.

Jeans

Denim is a second skin for Beckham. He wears Acne Studios classic wash in slim fit and Belstaff’s ‘Blackrod’ for his biker travels. And Ralph Lauren vintage denim is almost a daily wear for the star, slightly distressed and always relaxed.

Hair

David Beckham’s haircuts seem to change as frequently as the seasons. He’s always rocking a hairstyle to make us jealous (at least, in his later years, we can probably forget some of his earlier styles). Whether it’s a pompadour with a side-part, a quiff, a fade haircut or even a complete buzz cut, David knows his hair is just as much a part of his look as his clothing.

David Beckham’s Style FAQ

How long should a men's overcoat be?

Men’s overcoat are generally available in two lengths – ¾ and whole. If ¾, it should end somewhere above your knee or mid-thigh. For long overcoat, it must cover ¾ of the height of the person that wears it.

How to style a cable knit sweater?

Most cable knit sweaters are very easy to style. Since they already come with interesting design elements, pairing them with classic bottoms is enough to create a polished outfit.

What is the difference between bomber jacket and biker jacket?

The main difference is in the collar style. Most biker coats have stand up collars, while bomber style jackets have full folding collars. Bomber jackets also look fluffier, while biker coats have close-fitting silhouettes.

‘Runging’: The Ego-Boosting Dating Trend You Should Be Wary Of
‘Runging’: The Ego-Boosting Dating Trend You Should Be Wary Of

Dodgier than a late night DM, and just as validating, runging is the ego-boosting dating trend we have all fallen for. And the worst thing is, it’s self-inflicted. How? Runging is when you date people just lame enough your friends think ‘ew,’ but just cool enough they don’t say anything to your face.

Now. There’s nothing wrong with seeking a hookup partner who ~appreciates~. Likewise: it’s nice to be the courted, not the courter. But if you’re sacrificing your standards to avoid ‘feels’ (or because you want to be the one setting the booty call agenda), don’t be surprised when your mates start asking why you’re so obsessed with ladders.

This is different to ‘punching up’ or dating someone ‘out of your league,’ according to Metro, who coined the term, because rungers are conscious of their attractiveness: “As long as you understand that your partner loves you for you – regardless of whatever you may perceive the outside world thinks – then it shouldn’t be a problem,” Metro says. “Rungers, however, are acutely aware of this invisible ladder, and purposely punch below their weight off the back of it.”

“Perhaps when swiping on dating apps you specifically avoid people you deem to be ‘too’ attractive, and enjoy feeling like you have the upper hand in a subconscious way? Maybe you find yourself continually dating people who aren’t intellectually stimulating to you, but instead of looking for someone you feel is more equal or helping your partner learn, you like this unbalanced status quo? If these things ring true for you, you may be a runger, heading down that ladder so you’re always the one up a level.”

Head of Trends at happn Marine Ravinet told Metro, “Who we are attracted to is often down to our subconscious and we all have a different type which is what makes finding a partner so exciting – beauty is, after all, in the eye of the beholder. However, if some people are deliberately going after a partner who they deem ‘less attractive’ or ‘less successful’ they may need to question why this is.”

Marine also told Metro, “It may make them feel better in the short term, perhaps getting extra attention or thinking their partner is less likely to stray if they are ‘punching above their weight’. However, it doesn’t provide the basis of a healthy relationship as equals, and they should not be thought of as a competition.”

To make things simple, dating website Bolde has come up with 11 signs you may be runging.
  • Your friends know you do it
  • You’re put off by attractive people on dating apps
  • You’re overly competitive
  • You’re settling
  • Your self esteem has taken a hit
  • You’re loving your ego
  • You’re cheating your partner out of happiness
  • You’re terrified of getting hurt
  • You’re choosing out of fear of rejection
  • You’re desperate to be loved

Study Reveals Fasting Technique That Could Help Lifters Get Greater Gains
Study Reveals Fasting Technique That Could Help Lifters Get Greater Gains

A promising new study has just been published, showing the potential benefits of weekly “refeeds” on maintaining lean mass for “resistance-trained” men and women.

The study, conducted by Bill Campbell, a physique scientist from the University of South Florida, came out on Sunday, in the latest edition of the Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology.

RELATED: Shop Men’s Supplements To Boost Gains

As Bill took to Instagram, where he has 36.6k followers, to explain, the research could be significant for lifters looking to optimise their mass retention.

Though he admits “every scientist gets excited about their research and probably thinks that their work will change the [dieting] world” he says “I think this new study about Diet Breaks/Diet Refeeds is going to change the way a lot of people approach their diets in the future.”

“If you resistance train and want to lose fat, keep your muscle, and not damage your metabolism, this study is for you!”

How’d it go down? Bill and his team took two groups of resistance-trained people (males/females) and put them on a diet for 7 weeks.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Bill Campbell, PhD (@billcampbellphd) on

Both groups were asked to reduce their calorie intake by 25% below normal maintenance calories, and to eat 1.8 grams of protein/kg body mass (0.8 grams per pound) per day.

One group (dubbed ‘CONTINUOUS’) maintained this restrictive diet continuously for 7 straight weeks, with no break.

The other group (REFEED) also dieted for 7-weeks, but every weekend they took a break and increased their calories (all in the form of carbohydrates) back to maintenance calories.

“The REFEED group decreased calories by 35% Monday-Friday but did not diet on the weekends (ingested 100% of their pre-diet food intake) — which resulted in a weekly average caloric deficit of 25% — the same as the CONTINUOUS group,” Bill explains.

“We also supervised everyone’s workouts in our Physique Lab – every exercise, every set, every rep.”

“Every subject also had a personalized nutrition coach to assist them with their diet,” Bill reveals. “We implemented a Flexible Diet approach, and each subject tracked their macros every day and were required to submit their macro tracking sheets every week.”

The main finding? Both groups lost a similar amount of fat — about 5.5 pounds – but only the REFEED Group was able to maintain muscle mass during the seven weeks of dieting, losing less than a pound of muscle while the group that did not take a break from their diet every weekend lost nearly 3 pounds.

A post shared by Brad Schoenfeld, PhD (@bradschoenfeldphd) on

While this is a significant finding, further research is, as always, required, to better understand it. As Bill’s colleague, Brad Schoenfeld, points out, not everyone in the REFEED group maintained mass.

“What I find most interesting is that the individual data seems to show that several subjects were ‘responders’ to the refeed and actually gained lean mass, while others were ‘non-responders’ and lost as much FFM as the continuous diet subjects⁣.”

The take-home, according to Brad, a PhD holder, fitness scientists and researcher in his own right, is “to remember that studies generally report the means, but practical application is specific to the individual. It would seem that refeeds are beneficial for some, but not others. Thus, experimentation is needed to determine what works best for you.”

Actor John Krasinski’s IWC Watch Is Proof He’s A Man Of Simple Taste
Actor John Krasinski’s IWC Watch Is Proof He’s A Man Of Simple Taste

Forget Mayweather’s diamond-encrusted Tourbillons and Drake’s erotic timepieces; John Krasinski just proved the simple things in life can be the best.

Appearing with his wife (and co-star) Emily Blunt at ‘A Quiet Place Part II’ world premiere at Rose Theatre, Jazz at Lincoln Center on March 8, 2020, in New York City, the US actor was spotted wearing a plain black IWC Portugieser Chronograph with a blue suit, white shirt and black tie.

A post shared by ♡ (@adoreblunt) on

With its compact diameter of 41 millimetres, the Portugieser Chronograph fits almost any wrist and (thanks to its thin bezel) gives the impression of wearing a significantly larger watch.

Made in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, The Portugieser Chronograph (which you can buy for just under AU $14,000) is one of IWC Schaffhausen’s most iconic models – quite an accessory for the man who once played The Office’s Jim Halpert.

John has come a long way since, as his dual role as actor and director in thriller ‘A Quiet Place Part II’ attests. Though the original came as a surprise hit (grossing over $300 million worldwide), on the back of that success, the decision to create a sequel is less surprising.

With Krasinski once again stepping up as director, ‘A Quiet Place Part II’ picks up right where the first film ended, with Evelyn (Emily Blunt) and her two kids venturing out into a world they hardly recognize to find more survivors.

New additions to the crew include Cillian Murphy and Djimon Hounsou, with Krasinski making a cameo, following his character’s death in the first instalment.
