New for 2020: Polo Ralph Lauren Golf & RLX Golf Fall collections
Ralph Lauren has announced its Golf & RLX Golf apparel Fall 2020 collection—featuring a range of men’s and women’s gear using recycled polyester with sustainability in mind.
The ‘Preppy’ Pre-Fall/Fall men’s collection contains an assortment of soft bright hues that are grounded in white and navy. Inspired by vintage Polo neckwear and iconic Ralph Lauren patterns, the updated pieces for 2020 also contain colorful madras, preppy foulards, tonal paisleys, and small-scale florals.

For the fall collection, hybrid layering has progressed with a change in the quilting layout. According to the company, this includes updates to higher functioning trims, as well as the introduction of an improved quality fleece layer – the polar tech. For the bottoms, multiple weights feature in design to make sure all needs are covered from classic everyday pants to outerwear down as well as a rainsuit pant.

Featured in the RLX athleisure release is a long sleeve crewneck as well as a half-zip—both in a new lightweight air micro-mesh fabrication aimed to provide maximum warmth inside or outside. Additionally, there is a new fabrication for the jogger—a heat tech Henley in a lux jersey, containing a soft hand feel and designed to provide excellent performance comfort. New colorways and prints are also introduced this season in tonal camos and Fall Blue.

The men’s Cruise/Holiday range is inspired by Thracian Cliffs, a scenic course along the Black Sea. The collection features the colors of lavender, light blue, and royal, grounded in navy and grey, and includes classic menswear prints and yarn dyes, such as dots, checks, foulards, and glen plaids.

The women’s Pre Fall/Fall delivery contains a rainbow assortment of soft bright colors grounded in white and navy and channeled in the form of small-scale floral prints, preppy scarf patterns, and tech eyelet fabric.
The collection includes a variety of skort silhouettes including knit jersey and eyelet flounces, four-way stretch pleats, and yarn dye ruffles designed to provide golfers with a variety of styling options.

The women’s Cruise/Holiday collection is inspired by the golf courses of California and features bright sport colors like neon lime, orange, red and royal, against a backdrop of Navy. The collection also contains pop colors featured in collar-tipping, zips, stripes and color blocking with a strong activewear aesthetic in mind.
Feminine prints including, florals, sailboats, and tie-dye plaid aim to balance the sportiness of the Cruise/Holiday range.
The Polo Golf and RLX Golf collections are available in select Ralph Lauren stores, exclusive private clubs and resorts and online at RalphLauren.com.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Smiley almost looks like Tony Romo in the picture. Wonder if he could even beat Tony at this point?
