We’re simply over two weeks away from the Daytona 500 of golf, higher generally known as the Masters.
(I’m unsure if anybody else calls it the Daytona 500 of golf. I do know, nevertheless, that nobody calls the Daytona 500 the Masters of NASCAR.)
Anyway, the onslaught of Augusta-inspired limited-edition golf gear marches on. Some are cool and a few are (pimento) tacky however now we have to tip the cap to Golf Delight. Its new Golf Delight Honorary Starter Assortment is all cool with zero cheese. It’s chock-full of inexperienced and white however valuable little yellow. There are simply sufficient azaleas to make the horticulturist in you happier than a Sunday back-nine eagle.
What’s the Honorary Starter Assortment?
Golf Delight is dressing up its go-to grip, the Tour Velvet®, in a slick green-and-white outfit. Fortunately, Golf Delight didn’t go overboard with azaleas. The Honorary Starter is tastefully trimmed with white floral etching plus a single azalea on the cap and one other one by the emblem.
Golf Delight’s new Reverse Taper® putter grip is the opposite member of the Honorary Starter Assortment. This one isn’t fairly as understated because the Tour Velvet® with Augusta-green branding and “springtime in northeast Georgia” art work. The unique Reverse Taper has a form of uninteresting, antiseptic look to it. This primary major-of-the-year makeover is fairly dang candy.
To spherical out the gathering, Golf Delight is together with an Augusta-themed valuables pouch. It’s dotted with inventive imagery from the golf course that shan’t be named (besides via formally licensed channels).

As you haven’t any doubt seen, everybody even remotely associated to the golf business has some form of Augusta-related gear, bauble, accent or memento to hawk. The U.S. Open and Open Championship additionally get limited-edition love (oddly, the PGA not a lot). Neither, nevertheless, compares to what we see within the spring.
The Masters (we are able to use the identify however producers selling merchandise can’t) has a particular which means to Golf Delight. Homosexual Brewer’s win in 1967 marked the primary main victory for a golfer utilizing Golf Delight grips. This 12 months, 90 p.c of the sector at Augusta can be utilizing Golf Delight grips.
(Golf Delight, for the file, doesn’t pay gamers to make use of its grips.)
