Socks are a super-important component of the golf apparel ensemble that don’t get discussed enough! I’m here to change that. We walk a ton and are on our feet in golf so having great performance socks is imperative.
That in mind, I’m happy to mention that I have some new Stance Performance Tab Socks in for review.
Feel360
One of the standout features of Stance Performance Tabs is the incorporation of Feel360™ technology, a revolutionary advancement in odor and moisture management. Say goodbye to discomfort caused by sweat and odor, as these socks are engineered to keep you feeling fresh and dry even during the most rigorous activities.
Rugged InfiKnit™-Reinforced Heel and Toe
Stance understands that durability is paramount for active individuals, and that’s why their Performance Tabs come equipped with a robust InfiKnit™-reinforced heel and toe. This design not only enhances the sock’s longevity but also provides added support where you need it the most. Rest assured, these socks are built to withstand the test of time, no matter how demanding your lifestyle may be.
A Guarantee of Quality
Stance takes pride in the quality of their products, and the Performance Tabs are no exception. With a commitment to excellence, these socks are backed by a guarantee of lasting performance. You can confidently step into your adventures, knowing that your Stance Performance Tabs are ready to stand up to whatever challenges you face.
Full Review Soon
I’ve already been gaming them on the course, on the mountain, and on the town. After I’ve had enough laps and time to fully evaluate their performance and durability I’ll post my full review.
Stay tuned.
I have a new golf push cart (excuse me… “trolley” for our friends in the UK) in play, from the Canadian golf company Axglo. The Axglo V3 cart is their V3 “Smooth Handling Model.” I’ll vouch for that. I’ll comment on all the major features and how they’ve worked out for me in the last few weeks.
Smooth Handling
The 3-wheel base is large. The larger/wider the base, the more smooth the ride and more stable the cart is.
Above: the front wheel can rotate 360 degrees, or it can be locked in place.
This solid base also means the cart is much less likely to fall over. When push carts fall over, things fall out. Keys, balls, gear. Perhaps worst of all, drinks get spilled. Can’t have wasted frosty beverages! Check.
The large wheels and base along with excellent balance also make the cart easy to navigate over varying types of terrain, hills, bumps, and so forth. Despite the size of the cart it feels light on it’s feet, er..a.. wheels.
Storage O’ Plenty
The Axglo V3 trolley (“push cart” for our friends in the USA) features a huge storage space in the handle area. The storage space has two separate doors and spaces for all the extra stuff you need on the course, from sunscreen to extra tees to GPS units to a few extra frosty beverages.
Below is the first compartment in the storage area. In there I have snacks, cigar accessories, Altoids (in case Paige Spirinac shows up at the course)… You can never be too… “prepared.”
In the larger compartment (below) I can easily fit lots of stuff like sunglasses, golf balls, car keys, hats, tees, cigars, snacks, tools.
Underneath the storage area are a couple of slots for thin items (photo below). Great use of space.
Make it Rain
Below is the umbrella holder attached to the handle. I live in a desert so I don’t often golf in the rain. It feels very solid but I haven’t tested it in a real-deal situation yet.
Folding and Storage Bag
Below you can see the storage bag in the back of my car. I swear the cart is in there! The cart does fold up but if you’re looking for the absolute smallest folded cart, this isn’t your solution. While the cart folds and fits in this bag, it is not super small folded. I have several carts that fold into smaller footprints. That said, those other carts don’t have the size and base of the Axglo V3 and are definitely not as sturdy and stable. You can’t change the laws of physics!
Final Thoughts
I’m thoroughly digging the Axgo V3. It’s super solid, dependable, holds a ton of gear, and drives like a luxury car. Accessing all my clubs and putting them back is easy.
I don’t see myself going to any of my smaller carts for the time being. I don’t think all my stuff would fit in it!

I’ve been gaming the Travis Mathew “We Like to Paddy” polo for a couple of months now. It is one of my top go-to shirts, and I have a LOT of shirts. Let’s take a look.
Fabric/Technology
The Paddy (for short) is made from 62% recycled Polyester, 31% cotton and 7% Spandex. The Polyester and Spandex make the polo super easy to mange in terms of washing, wrinkle resistance and not shrinking.
The combo also provides super (really super) comfort and performance.
Style
The cut and fit of this polo is perfect. I’m not big on tight fitting shirts, but I also don’t want a giant, loose fitting frumpy blanket either. This polo fits is a complimentary way without being too tight, binding, or pulling.
The shirt features a floral print with some subtle yellow and green accents.
Out on the course, or out on the town!
On the Course
You know John Rahm? World #1 golfer that just won the Masters Tournament? He games the Paddy. If the polo works for the #1 player in the world, under all the pressure and varying conditions, it works for me.
The fabric stretches and moves easily with athletic activity, or when lifting a frosty beverage up. No restrictions and no uncomfortable tightness in the golf swing.
Sizes/Colors
There is one color way available, white. Obviously that’s the color pictured here.
Sizes run from small to 3XL.
Final Thoughts
The We Like to Paddy polo is one of my all-time favorites! It’s a perfect combination of style, performance, comfort, and convenience! Snag one for dad! Father’s Day is coming up and this polo would make a fantastic Father’s Day golf gift!
I’ve started testing out a new golf push cart from the Canadian company Axglo. This cart is their V3 “Smooth Handling Model.”
So far I’d have to say I fully agree with the smooth handling part. I’ve had the cart out for some laps at my home course and the cart rolls like butter. It is super balanced and easy to push as well.
Above: the front wheel can rotate 360 degrees, or it can be locked in place.
Below you can see the nice transport bag in the trunk of my car. The cart folds and goes into the bag for easy storage, throwing in the trunk of the car, or travel.
There are two very large storage areas which are super convenient. Here’s how they look closed:
Here is compartment #1. Good for quick access stuff, like Altoids! You never know when you might need fresh breath, ahem.
Below is the larger compartment. You can fit a ton of stuff in here. Some ideas: sunglasses, golf balls, car keys, hats, tees, cigars, snacks.
I’ll be putting this fine looking cart through the full HOG test battery and posting a full review soon. That review probably won’t be before Father’s Day though. So pull the trigger on one if you’re thinking about it. I can already tell this is a great cart!
