Sunice Hurricane Review
I know that Southern California is pictured as this sunny, warm place where you don’t need outerwear. It is for the most part. It just so happens that the coastal areas are rather brisk most of the time. That Pacific Ocean makes it downright chilly, especially at night and even in the summer. I recently tried the Sunice Hurricane Ultimate Gore-Tex jacket to combat this. Alright, don’t laugh. I realize that I am quite sensitive to the temperature dropping below seventy degrees. I don’t complain about it, I just dress for it and go about my golfing. The Sunice jacket is a perfect layer for someone like me.
My first impression was quite good. It’s a lightweight (less than 500g) outerwear piece that isn’t bulky at all. I was skeptical if it would really keep me comfortable when the wind picked up off of the Pacific while I was at my local range at night.
The shell construction is designed to be breathable yet waterproof and windproof. The Gore-Tex membrane is guaranteed to keep you dry. The tag diagram shows sweat basically breathing away and rain/moisture staying out. Other features are:
Pro-trim adjustable waist cinch
4-way stretch inserts
External welding tape details
Laser-cut sleeve pocket
In-pocket ball cleaner (attached inside the left pocket)
Telescopic sleeves that are also adjustable on the outer portion
Waterproof zippers with lock down pullers
Sunice originated in 1976 when a manufacturer of firefighter’s apparel and a clothing designer merged into one company. They combine “science and style” in an attempt to take weather out of the equation for golf and winter sports. Indeed, I went to the range late last night and that wind off of the Pacific was in full force so I could put the Sunice to the test. It feels very nice on and the lightweight construction is very easy to wear. The lack of bulk and comfortable construction didn’t interfere with my swing at all. When I zipped it up completely it did keep the wind from giving me a chill.
Overall I would recommend this for those who play coastal courses that are prone to winds and brisker temperatures late in the day. The product is meant to withstand wind and rain and would probably protect you in weather that you certainly wouldn’t want to golf in. The overall construction of the piece makes it easy to fold in half and slide into the rain hood pocket of my Ogio Edge stand bag with ease. I’ll give it a thumbs up.

Tour Tech Rundown: Heroic Henley
Around the world, the golf wheel spun this final week in May of 2026. From New Jersey to Austria, with stops in Korea, Texas, and North Carolina (don’t let me route your next trip) the world’s finest put their golf games on display. There were three playoffs, some known commodities and some new talent. It was the sort of week that we hope to have at this point in the seasons. June and July afford double-digit major events, and perhaps, one of this week’s champions will use this success as a springboard to new heights. Time to run it all down, tech style, in this week’s Tour Tech Rundown.
Thanks to WITBHub, Today’s Golfer, GolfWRX, and Inside Tour Golf for initial research into equipment.
PGA Tour @ Charles Schwab Challenge: Heroic Henley denies Cole
Eric Cole did nearly everything that a fellow can do, to secure a first PGA Tour title. He stayed one shot clear of Ryder Cup player Ben Griffin. He kept US Open champion Gary Woodland and wunderkind Michael Brennan two shots distant. He posted 70 on day four to reach twelve under par. And then, Russell Henley revealed his Dr. Strange cloak. Henley made 47 feet of birdie putts on holes 16, 17, and 18, to jump from minus-nine to twelve-deep, and secured a spot in a playoff with Cole. The duo returned to the final tee, and put on a stripe show.
Both golfers found the fairway off the tee, and Henley improved on his regulation play with an approach to four feet. Cole did himself proud, tucking an iron to a dozen feet, but he was unable to convert the putt for three. Henley is one of the best putters on tour, and he proved it once more by draining a putt for a fourth consecutive birdie, and a sixth PGA Tour title. For Eric Cole, that first victory should come, and soon. He has done everything necessary to earn the chalice lift.

LPGA @ Shoprite LPGA: Welcome back, Celine!
Soo Bin Joo had her eyes on a maiden LPGA title. She held the lead after two rounds, then hit a red light at the intersection of can-I and how-To. Joo posted plus-two on day three in New Jersey, and dropped to a T4 finish, which was still a career-best for the young Korean golfer. Instead of a new face, a familiar face returned to the top of the podium.
Celine Boutier was the It Girl in 2023. She collected four victories, including a major title at Evian. Boutier reached world number one status, then simply faded into the background. No wins came her way over the next 30 months. On Sunday, she collected LPGA victory number seven, at the same trace as LPGA victory number two.
Day three saw Boutier manage the windswept Seaview Bay course with six birdies and a bogey. She was challenged in the end by Thailand’s Arpichaya Yubol, who signed for a 66 of her own. Yubol came up one shot shy of the top ladder rung. Finishing in third place at -7, two back of the winner, was Ireland’s Lauren Walsh.

DP World Tour @ Austrian Alpine: KK? KK!
Kota Kaneko has a rhythmic name. It has strong vowels and a run of voiceless stops in its crunchy K sounds. On Sunday in Austria, Kaneko put a stop to a challenge from Portugal’s Ricardo Gouveia and everyone else, and claimed a first-ever title on the DP World Tour. Gouveia did well to reach 16-under par over four days, but Kaneko held firm, two shots in the clear.
Davis Bryant of the USA also forged a strong challenge for the win. He ended in a tie with Gouveia for second place. Kaneko began and finished his final round in a bit of a malaise, but he caught fire midway through. Birdies at 10, 12, and 13 provided the necessary cushion to cruise to the finish line without breaking a serious sweat.
Kaneko’s Suitcase
- Driver: Ping Max G440
- Metals: TaylorMade Qi4D at 15, 16.5, 21, and 24 degrees

Korn Ferry Tour @ UNC Health Championship: Improbably Alvaro
Alvaro Ortiz may have had a bit of scare on the outward nine on Sunday, but he came through in clutch fashion in the end. Ortiz began the day bogey-double, and added another double bogey at the 11th hole. He was mired in a downward trend, spiraling away from the top of the leader’s board. Ortiz found hope at the 14th, where his first birdie of the day tumbled home. Inspired, he closed with birdies and 17 and 18 to catch Ross Steelman at 10-under par, and the duo returned to the 18th deck for overtime.
The extra session concluded in brief time. Ortiz, buoyed by his newly-retrieved confidence, hit the fairway with driver, then approached to six feet and drained the putt. Gobsmacked, Steelman could do little more than smile and applaud, as his run at the top came to a close. The victory was the first for Ortiz on the KFT, and will implant him squarely in the chase for a PGA Tour promotion.

LIV @ Korea: Me llamo Joaquin
Chile’s Joaquin Niemann had been away from the LIV winner’s circle throughout all of 2026. This week in Korea, he reminded us that he is still a force to consider. Niemann chased down Taylor Gooch over the closing holes at Asiad Country Club, then claimed victory with a hole-one birdie in extra time. Bryson DeChambeau claimed solo third, one shot in arrears at minus-eleven. Dustin Johnson finished on fourth, one putt farther back.

Do you know how the restriction is on your swing? Is it lose in the shoulders or is it kind of tight? Want to buy this but don’t know. Thanks.
