Robert Matre captures golf and the details most of us never get to see. He shows us it’s humans that play the game…not the equipment. This post does no justice to the quality and beauty of his photos. You’ll have to go to his site here: Robert Matre to view his portfolio. Enjoy.
“My goal is to celebrate the game of golf in a style that floats between documentation, photo-journalism and high art. Golf is infinitely interesting, and I hope that my photographs allow you to celebrate and enjoy the game in a truly unique fashion.”
The best for last…

Maybe you won’t find these gloves on the PGA tour, but the younger generation have been waiting for a glove like this. Asher makes some of the dopest golf gloves we’ve seen. This is the new face of golf…get used to it.

On Monday January 18, our friend Anthony Lewis lost everything he owned in a sudden fire that destroyed his apartment building. He was uninsured. To help him buy some immediate basics like clothes, furniture, and help him get started again in life, we’re looking for people to donate just a few dollars each to reach a goal of $4500, which will go directly into an account set up for Mr. Lewis.
You can donate money to his fund at this website: HELP A BROTHER OUT

Honourable mentions: Johan Esbensen (skateteam)… Keith Chan (skateteam)… Julian Garner (skateteam)
Although many golf companies claim “skater” influence. We run deeper than all of them.

I’d rather donate blood than money to Haiti. No one can take a cut off the top of this donation…

Thanks to A True Golfer or ATG for finding this video. Golf needs an injection of cool if it wishes to swell it’s ranks with the youth.

Bill Powell 1916 – 2009
“…the only color that matters is the color of the greens.” – Bill Powell
Who was Bill Powell? He was the grandson of Alabama slaves (white people owned his grand parents), who served in World War II. He later returned to the United States to build a golf course for those who weren’t “eligible” to play anywhere else. While building his golf course he continued to work at Timken, a ball bearing company, as a janitor and a security guard, the only positions available to blacks.
Bill Powell left a legacy built on struggle, pride and hard work. Something that isn’t respected as much anymore. It also isn’t rewarded as much either. Golf makes millionaires. Millionaires make douchebags. Douchebags buy 157 ft Yachts to get away from the people who make them rich.
Bill Powell created a golf course virtually by hand… by himself with these intentions:
“I didn’t build this course for any of the recognition,” he said. “It was a labor of love. Golf is a part of society and I wanted to be included. I want you to be included, too. I’ve always felt that each individual should leave something behind of meaning. It feels good to know that I have done that with Clearview, at long last.”
We celebrate and honour the wrong golfers. We hold millionaires up on pedestals when their millions do nothing for golf except pad their ego’s and bank accounts. Support the hustle and struggle of those who do their thing for golf and not for individual recognition.

Besides of the Malaria (no joke) in our studio, we also received these other high quality Ugandan gifts. Waragi (pronounced [waragi] known as enguli) is a generic term in Uganda for domestic distilled beverages (moonshine).
Once you are finished with the high quality “gin” you can reuse them for IV bags. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
Waragi derives its name from “war gin”, as the British colonial expatriates in the 1950s and 1960s referred to the distilled spirit known in Luganda language as enguli.
