What Just Landed in the Pro Shop (May 2026 Refresh)

Rhone has been the shop's most-purchased brand since we opened the membership. Members buy the Commuter Pant. Then they buy a second Commuter Pant. Then they ask what else we carry.

This refresh answers that. Three new layering pieces went in. The Heritage Midweight Quarter Zip is the one I have been waiting for. It is a midweight knit with a clean face, not a performance fabric trying to look heritage. It works over the Quiet Golf polo on cool mornings and under the Forresters Windblocker on raw ones. The Commuter Long Sleeve Polo solves the awkward shoulder-season problem where a short sleeve is too cold and a quarter-zip is too warm. The Founders Golf Quarter Zip sits in between, lighter than the Heritage, with a slightly more athletic cut.

We pulled the Commuter Polo, Delta Pique Polo, Spar Jogger, Spar Short, Spar Quarter Zip, Reign Tee, Golf Short, Golf Glove, and Commuter Jogger Slim Fit. Some of those were great pieces. They were also nine SKUs from one brand, which is too many for a curated shop. We kept the Commuter Pant, the two Commuter Shorts, and the new layering trio. That is six Rhone pieces total, which feels right.

Quiet Golf has been our editorial darling and a steady seller. The Randolph Polo is staying. The Stanford Pullover and the Vintage Cap are leaving.

Replacing them is the Vintage Polo in supima cotton. This is the piece I have wanted in the shop since we first added Quiet Golf last year. Supima is a long-staple cotton that softens with every wash and holds its color through dozens of rounds. The cut is slightly boxier than the Randolph, which sounds like a complaint and is actually the point. It hangs the way a vintage tour photo polo hangs. Pair it with the Rhone Commuter Pant and you have an outfit that works at a member-guest dinner and an early tee time.

The cap leaves because hats are a tough sell at our price point. Members who wanted a Quiet Golf cap had already bought one elsewhere. The shelf real estate matters more than the SKU.

Will makes the kind of leather goods that get better with abuse. We had the Waxed Canvas Dopp Kit. It is a great product. It was also slightly off-pillar for a golf-specific shop, so it moved on.

In its place are two pieces that earn the slot. The Braided Leather Stretch Belt is the most comfortable golf belt I have worn this year. The braid gives you stretch through the swing without the elastic look of a performance belt. The hardware is solid brass, not plated, which means it patinas instead of chipping.

The Yardage Book is the one I get the most questions about. It is small enough to fit in a back pocket, hardcover, with brass corners and a refillable insert. Members are using them as actual yardage books, as journal covers, and as desk objects. All three uses are fine by me.

Will is also one of the few American leather makers still doing real production runs out of Oregon. The brand has been at it long enough to know what holds up over a decade of use, which is the standard the rest of the shop tries to meet.

Editorial transparency, since members ask: we looked hard at three other brands this cycle and passed. One had margins that would not let us offer real reserve pricing. One had a recent quality-control issue we wanted to see resolved before we put our name on it. One had a great product line and a logo placement we could not get past on the polo chest.

The shop is built on the rule that we only carry what we would actually wear. Sometimes that means saying no to a brand that would sell well. The point of the membership is the curation, not the catalog size. Members save $400 or more annually across these brands at reserve pricing, and that math only works if every piece in the shop is one we genuinely back.
