Ryan Moore Gets My Vote for Best Dressed at the 2010 Masters

by James on April 10, 2010 in Style & Fashion, Players with 2 Comments

In what has to be one of the best photographs taken at the 2010 Masters to date, my bud Robert Matre snapped the shot below of a ‘dapper’ Ryan Moore. Diggin’ the classic look. How about you? A big thumbs up or thumbs down?

Ryan Moore: Best Dressed at the 2010 Masters?

This Masters weekend is shaping up to be a spectacular one. Woods, Mickelson, Westwood, Poulter, Yang and more are all at or near the top of the leaderboard. Sure, they may not look as dapper as Mr. Moore (who made the cut at +1, by the way)… but one thing is for sure, they’re going to be sharp.

Slazenger Heritage Polos Now Available

by James on March 11, 2010 in Style & Fashion with No comments

Slazenger Heritage PolosI have to admit, when I think Slazenger, I think of Wimbledon. I think of their tennis balls, of the fortnight in London to crown the champion at the ‘All-England’ club each year. That’s just me… But if you take a look at the golf fashion Slazenger is pumping out these days, it looks like they’re trying to change my mind.

The other day I noticed the good folks at TrendyGolf posted an offering of the new ‘Heritage’ line from Slazenger. At first glance, I loved the look of them. At second glance, I loved them even more.

Made of 100% cotton, the Heritage line from Slazenger is without a doubt, one of the more classic polos from the 80’s. Emblazoned with the ‘golden cat’ logo, put one on and I bet you couldn’t help but feel like Seve celebrating his Open triumph with a few fist pumps.

Available now from £39 (around $58USD), head on over to TrendyGolf for a look at their selection. Many colors and sizes are available!

Throwback Golf Attire – Return of the Slazenger V-Neck

by Annie Latham on March 8, 2010 in Style & Fashion with No comments

TrendyGolf.com noted in their blog that the golden panther is on its way back.

Rewind to 1984, when Seve Ballesteros won the British Open Championship at St. Andrews wearing that classy v-neck with the golden panther.  Apparently this move by Slazenger to bring back the look coincides  with the 150th anniversary of the Open Championship which is taking place at the Old Course, St Andrews in July 2010.

There isn’t much in the way of details available yet.  Noted was the fact that this updated Slazenger Heritage Gold line will be featuring classic v-neck sweaters, cardigans and polos that have been modernized into a slim fit.  Chances are, the materials used have been updated while maintaining the classic look.

So keep your eyes open.  And if you want to be one of the first to know when the line is available, go to TrendyGolf.com.

John Daly Inks Deal with Slix Underwear

by James on February 24, 2010 in News, Style & Fashion with No comments

‘Big JD’ is no longer ‘Big JD’. You know how I know this for certain? He’s just been sponsored by an underwear company.

That’s right, John has inked a deal with Slix, a company that offers shirts, underwear, socks and more… all along the way promising unmatched comfort and performance. Now, I’m not sure what I’m looking for when it comes to ‘performance’ underwear… I think my base criteria is that it stays covers what it needs to cover, and stays in place all day. That’s not too much to ask, is it? 🙂

Regardless, as you can see in the shots I’ve included here, it looks like John has started a new career in underwear modeling. I bet he never thought in a million years he’d be doing something like this!

Congrats to John and Slix on the new partnership. Hopefully it’ll be a comfortable and well-performing partnership for years to come.

For more information on Slix and what they have to offer, take a few moments and hit up getyourslixon.com.

Note: In case you haven’t heard, we’re running a contest with the help of John Daly as well. Check out the details right here. Comment or tweet about the contest, tell us which LOUDMOUTH pants you’d like to see John wear… and the winner will receive a pair of LOUDMOUTH pants, PLUS, John will wear the pair of your choosing at his next PGA Tour Event in Puerto Rico. For real! 🙂

The Secret to Ian Poulter’s Success? It’s All in the Pants

by James on February 22, 2010 in Style & Fashion with 3 Comments

Some might say it took hard work, determination and an unwavering will to win. It’s hard to argue with that, but when I think of some key factors that may have vaulted Ian Poulter to his WGC win on Sunday (and jump to #5 in the world) I can only think of one thing. The pants.

It is my personal view that ‘Poults’ takes something to heart that makes him feel, look and actually PLAY better. That something is a little saying ‘the clothes make the man’. Pink is Ian’s favorite color. At least, that’s what I remember from watching a recent Golf Channel ‘Playing Lessons With the Pros‘ featuring Poulter. There’s no doubt Ian wanted to make sure everything was going in the right direction for yesterday’s final 36-hole match. So what color was he wearing? Pink from head to toe (well, actually he was book-ended with a white visor and white shoes… but you get the picture). I’m sure somewhere Paula Creamer was jealous. When you think about it, on the eve of your biggest match day in quite some time, why wear just any old outfit when you could wear the color you love so dear? Pink it was, for the win. 4 and 2.

Let me dig a bit deeper into the reasons I believe the pants (ok, and the whole outfit) were without a doubt key to Ian’s win. First, confidence. Think about it. The guy was looking good, therefore he was feeling good, and he hit the ball solid and with conviction. Second, intimidation. Now, I’m not saying that Poulter is going to intimidate Paul Casey on any level, heck, I’m sure the chaps are very friendly with one another… But when you head to the first tee with a guy dressed from head to toe in something so unique, surely Paul had one or to miscellaneous thoughts running through his head OTHER than golf during the long match. Lastly, comfort. Not only was Ian wearing his color of choice… he was wearing his BRAND of choice… his own clothing line! Couple the clothes with a slick pair of FootJoy boots to unleash a Pink-ish storm of comfort and style that no opponent could resist.

Sure, some might say Ian’s win and rise to #5 in the world has everything to do with hard work. I can’t argue with that. But still, part of me thinks a big part of it is in the wardrobe. Now you know his secret. It’s all in the pants.

Well done, Ian… Well done!
