We’ve definitely caught the holiday spirit and are excited to drop a 2nd newsletter this week, just because we love you.

We’re also excited to announce Clever The Optimist has recently launched on Substack. We hope to release more long form writing in the future and this is definitely the platform for that. There you’ll get all the same newsletters with some bonus notes and short postings. Give us a follow or sign-up through https://clevertheoptimist.substack.com/.

Cheers!

Mountain Weekend’s Latest Drop

Our friends at Mountain Weekend (IG: mountain.weekend) just released their latest drop earlier this week and in our opinion it’s their best work yet.

They’ve got some super clean 5 panel hats (above), crewnecks, hoodies and joggers in REALTREE camo, a new beanie and even some mid-calf socks. Take a look below and give them a peek as you gear up for ski season.

MyGolfSpy’s Golf Grips We Love

They say you should replace your grips once a year but that seems excessive for the average weekend warrior/dad golfer. When the time does come, however, there are is no shortage of options to choose from. Cord grips, non-cord grips, taper grips, non-taper grips, even reverse taper grips.

There is one key theme regardless: Golf Pride remains the premier grip brand. If you’re interested in changing your grips soon, take a peek. And remember, even if you’re not changing them soon, you probably should.

Reebok Has (Re)Entered The Chat

Many of you have seen by now that Reebok has tapped Bryson DeChambeau to announce their launch (actually re-launch) into the golf apparel world. Bryson wore some new ‘box in the recent made for TV Showdown (spoiler: LIV lost) and the initial shoes (below) don’t look anything special at all. Golf shoe OG @teeupkickswithchris took it upon himself to design what famous Reebok shoes should be made in a golf version.
