Chilly round this morning. Wore the hoody with a vest over. It was the perfect amount of warmth. Even if the temporary greens are out, it’s nice to play with no one else on the course.

Only good at an Under Armour Brand House or Outlet location but they’re running Friends and Family through Nov 19.

Was able to recover my old account and joined under my gamer name: Chaos_Logik. Use this for PlayStation and Twitch as well.

I was playing for a few years and deleted it. I will absolutely join the league if one gets created, would be a lot of fun!

First Impressions (8 out of 10) I was thoroughly impressed with how the product arrived. There was a nice hand written note from the owner, the product was neatly folded in poly bags with tissue paper, and they included a cool holographic sticker. I think the hand written note added a nice personalized touch. The hoody feel was immediately different than any of the other hoodies I own. It was almost a seafoam green color with Real Golfers script written down the sleeve and a jester hat logo at the nape of the neck. I love wearing hoodies, so I was excited to see if this would be added to my rotation or not. If I layer for golf, it’s a ¼ zip and comes off rather fast as I run hot. The polo looked in-line with other polos that I own. I received a black version with multicolored dancing skeletons all over it. Immediately noticeable was the collar, it was unlike the other polos that I had in my closet. For those that read my intro, you will see that I have a lot of polos to choose from so there was no need to add another which provided a very good opportunity to run this through the testing to see if I would add it. I was looking forward to comparing it vs my Swannies and RSVLTS polos. Aesthetics (7 out of 10) I was happy with the way that the polo and hoody looked overall from a design stand point of general shape and sizing. With the current selection from Real Golfers being minimal, I do think options are limited on how to pair the items together. I don’t necessarily enjoy wearing a hoody over a polo, but if you’re the golfer that would wear a t-shirt under, I think it is a home run. For the Hoody, I was not too keen on color selection. My favorite color is green, but this was almost like a seafoam color of green. I felt that the color was almost a bit too feminine for my liking. I also was not a fan of the Real Golfers script written down the sleeve. I think this feels very NASCAR-esque branding and makes the product look cheap. I do not typically wear hoodies while golfing, so I can’t speak to how it relates to other brands. I do think this product appeals to a more modern golfer as you are seeing pros like Rickie, JT, and Xander start to wear hoodies on the cold weather golf days. They did make the hood a little bit heavier so it is not in your way during the swinging motion. I did find that this was the case when at the range and/or playing. I had no issues here. I do however wish there was a kangaroo pocket vs the two side zippered pockets. I think the side pockets are a little bit harder to get in and out of throughout the round. The polo graphics were just okay to me. I would typically like to see the polo be a little less busy by making the graphics larger and spread-out vs small and concentrated. The pattern was very repeatable almost being graphic stripes when looking up close. The collar was a little bit more ridged than other brands which allowed it to stay up vs flaring out and being a flimsy piece of bacon. Fit & Comfort (16 out of 20) I thought the product from Real Golfers fit well. As my intro stated, I have a very large upper body frame so it is difficult for me to find apparel that fits well. For the most part, Real Golfers checked the box on fit. The hoody had nice stretch, wasn’t too baggy or too tight, and gave me plenty of freedom to make my golf swing. The polo had nice stretch, wasn’t restricting, but did have some challenges in the length category. I found that the polo was a bit too short and would’ve liked to see a droptail on it just for the added assurance of tucking it in, and covering the dreaded plumbers crack. I did find that the polo was heavier than I would have liked. It is a heavier hand feel and on body vs Swannies or RSVLTS. This led to it not being as breathable as I would have liked. Now, that makes it just fine for an off season round of golf, but I would hesitate to wear it during the summer as I would overheat. I thought the hoody was great for a warm up round, or for a very cold round as below. I wore the hoody to go play a round in 39* weather and wore it the entire time. Granted I was riding in a cart where I typically prefer to walk, but the soggy PNW had other plans that day. I thought the hoody was a bit too warm for my walking round and came off after the first hole. On-Course (15 out of 20) On-Course I think the polo does its job. It is not too restricting, has good stretch and relatively fits well. I did not like that it wouldn’t stay tucked in and that it was a heavier material making it too hot for the warmer days. I really liked the collar as it stays off my neck, doesn’t show too much chest and stays it without folding over like soggy bacon. The hoody is a great on course piece for cold winter golf. I did have issues with the sleeves staying up on my forearms during my swing. I think the banding on the wrist and waist are plenty tight, so I did not dock any points for this. The hoody is almost too warm for a crisp fall day, I could see using it to warm up but coming off before the turn, but again… I run hot. I really liked that the hood was weighted and did not interfere with my swing. The Good, the bad, the in-between (16 out of 20) I like what Real Golfers is doing and the product they have made. I like that there is thought put into their products around stretch, weighted hoods, and their competitive matrix. Outside of me running hot, being bigger than your average bear, and color/design challenges… I liked what Real Golfers provided us to test. Play it or Trade it? (10 out of 20) This is the lowest scoring section on my review as overall, I did not like the weight of the polo vs the brands I compared it to. I did not like the length of it on my body either which leaves me challenged to game this polo outside of layering it under a ¼ zip or the rare occasion that I do not tuck my polo in while golfing. The hoody is a nice piece to add to my collection but I would have liked to see different colors and different branding, those two pieces alone are going to make it hard for me to consistently use this piece out of my closet.I will be playing the product, just not as often as I probably would have hoped to. I think their price point justifies the build of the product. It’s not anything fancy, nor do they claim to be, they want to be an affordable brand for your everyday golfer while giving back. Conclusion All in all, I am extremely grateful to MGS and Real Golfers for the opportunity to test the product. I am not your average sized human, so being able to find good apparel products is not the easiest for me. While the polo had some nice qualities to it, I think the overall build and design justifies the price point for being on the lower end of the market. I think the hoody is a nicer piece and more unique to the world of golf apparel. I think with better color selections and different branding, they could have a home run with the right marketing to the community. Final Score (72 out of 100)

Yeah look and feel is money. I do not have the elastic band in the pants. I think I only have 1 pair of UA pants that have that, my Travis Mathew not not.

Had a nice round this morning in beautiful 39° weather. The course was wide open and provided a perfect opportunity to wear the hoody. It definitely has a temperature range where it is most useful.

Good morning fellow Spy’s. Bit of a tough start to the week for me as I was laid off from work after 6.5 years there. Looking at it as a birth certificate to be able to start fresh elsewhere but also taking some time to be with the family before jumping right into the next place. Grateful for the time I was there but even more so for allowing me to spend some quality time with the little guy.

For those of you that are a pro member on TheGrint app. This Friday in the drop zone they are releasing 1000 50% off codes to link soul. First come, first serve. Good luck!

Played 9 this morning with both the polo and hoody. It was 55° overcast and light sprinkle. The hoody was comfortable for the tang and warming up. I thought the fit was good and not restrictive. However the sleeves do not stay up on my forearms, that was a bit annoying for me. After hole 1, the hoody came off. I was sweating heavily at this point. It was too heavy for my liking to walk the course in. The polo did NOT stay tucked in. It kept coming out the back of of my pants and showing off my crack when I would bend down. It was not all bad though as it was comfortable. Not quite as light weight as I would have liked. I’ll keep grinding in it and make sure I get all aspects for y’all. Feel free to shout any questions.

Have a round Friday afternoon wearing both and will be sure to report back! Stay tuned

Thank you! Hopefully many more to come!

Celebrated 10 years of marriage last night. Made us a grass fed tenderloin, Caesar and sweet tater.

Depends on how loud you like to be, but Swannies makes really comfortable polos that aren’t too snug at all. And they have good length for us broader/taller guys. Matter of Fact- The Grint Dropzone is is running a discount code this week for them. I think it’s limited to first 500 codes redeemed.

Such an interesting take as I feel there is still a massive dividing line in if it’s “acceptable” or not. As previous posts have stated, those that grew up in the era of being told the devils lettuce will rot your brain, for the majority, still have. A harder time accepting its recreational usage. Two weeks ago when we were playing, my buddy was using his vape pen and was told my a group behind us about how bad it is and that he’s an idiot to smoke. Im in the boat of do what helps you personally if it’s legal. I have a ton other of CBD with less than 1% THC and it helps immensely with all of my pain from multiple football injuries over the year. It also helps me get through 18 holes without having major back and knee pain.

Washed the hoody today per tag instructions in cold water using baby detergent (nice and gentle) with like colors and tumble dry low. *Tag does not note to use baby detergent, don’t worry! I just find it is so much easier on clothes. I must say, I think the hand feel is better after the wash and dry. It got even softer than it was out of the bag. And the fit didn’t shrink up at all.

In my initial post I have what I would consider my favorite polos in the closet. (Barstool, Swannies, RSVLTS, and Bogey Boys). I think so far that the fabric feel is similar to a Barstool or RSVLTS polo. It has good stretch and fits nice through the chest and arms, but so far I would like a little more length in the torso. Im trying to play a round this week as I’ll be interested to see if it stays tucked in or not. I prefer to tuck all my polos while golfing. The hoody is unlike anything I own. It’s a very technical fabric feel, has great stretch and a nice weight to it.

Wore the polo today for work. Super comfy and lightweight, but could use some length to it as it becomes a belly shirt when you raise your arms.

Chicken Piccata

I have worn the hoody all day and I am a huge fan so far. This thing is like butter!

The package has arrived and initial reactions are up! Let me know how you want to see it tested and what questions you have.

Decided to change all of my passwords to ‘Kenny’ last week. Now I have all Kenny Loggins.

Was a cool rainy day so I made some Chicken Gnocchi Soup

Absolutely entertaining. I will be watching the rest of the way and still cheering for the USA. Would love to see a turn around tomorrow. Hoping the boys got a good lesson today and come back with a vengeance tomorrow.
