GOLF & LIFESTYLE RETAIL STORE Monarch BeachComber • Winter 2017 HOLIDAY HITS AND NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS n Top ideas for the gift-giving season and beyond S hopping for golfers can be tricky – unless they're a regular member of your foursome, it's hard to know what they might need to complete their golf wardrobe or what in their bag could use replacing. But at the Golf & Lifestyle Retail Store at Monarch Beach Golf Links, chances are you'll find what you're looking for – from clubs and shoes to the latest in apparel for men, women and juniors. Here's a look at four popular items: UNDER ARMOUR WOMEN'S ZONE JACKET AND VEST Insulated yet light, these offerings from one of the leaders in athletic out- erwear are great for cool winter morn- ings on the fairways and greens. The quilted look on the front and back, coupled with sleek lines on the sleeves, give the UA Zone a look that can't be beat. The Store's Director of Retail Carrie Matlin said these jack- ets and vests are ideal for golf but also smart enough for shopping, working out or meeting friends for lunch. "These truly are great lifestyle pieces that can be worn on and off the golf course," she said. $119 retail; $95.20 member pricing. NIKE LUNAR CONTROL VAPOR 2 GOLF SHOES The second generation of these popular shoes offers all the great features of the origi- nal with some upgrades in style and perform- ance. The patented Articulated Integrated Traction is Nike's new take on soft spikes, pro- viding outstanding grip. The Lunar Vapor 2 is an extremely stable shoe yet has a sleek look and a cushioned fit that makes it feel like you're wearing pillows on your feet. "This has been by far one of the most comfortable shoes in golf, and regardless of price, when our guests and members try them on, they go with the Lunar Vapor 90 percent of the time," Matlin said. $215 retail; $175 member. TRAVIS MATHEW ZINNA POLO SHIRTS With a cotton/poly blend and stylish sub- tle heathered looks in classic and muted col- ors, these polos are not only great look- ing but also breath- able, quick drying and wrinkle resistant with a soft and com- fortable feel. And they look and feel as good on the first tee as they do at the grill room after your round. "Our No. 1 selling polo is TravisMathew, not just because of the name but because of the comfort and the look," Matlin said. $105 retail; $84 member. SCOTTY CAMERON "CAMERON AND CROWN" PUTTERS For players whose setup calls for a shorter putter, these 33-inch offerings are an ideal solution and come in a variety of styles to suit your game on the greens. A shorter put- ter can offer advantages for certain players, allowing them to get their eyes positioned correctly and giving them the ability for their arms to hang naturally for better release through impact. As would be expected from a brand that has developed a fanatical fol- lowing, every last detail has been considered, including a new silver mist finish and Scotty Cameron's unique matador gray grips. $410 retail; $379.99 member. > CLICK HERE to visit the Golf & Lifestyle Retail Store online.
