This time last year, I had the chance to play the beautiful Royal Dornoch. I’ve never experienced anything quite like it and it remains my favorite all-time golfing experience.
While I haven’t been able to make it back (having a baby this year foiled my plans), a new apparel collection from Mantra has me reliving my experience all over again. It’s no consolation but at least I can sit on the couch in a Scottish-inspired polo and an Irn Bru soda.
The Scottish Highlands Collection from Mantra encapsulates perfectly the feelings I had golfing on Scotland’s coast. It’s inspired by the rolling green hills, rugged terrain and misty moors of the home of golf. This much is evidenced by the deep, earth-tone colors and unique patterns that relate to the area’s unique biome.
The collection also uses tartans from the same region.

var slides = $( '#mgs_gallery_66edc9024b2e5 .mgs-gallery-images .mgs-gallery-image' ).length;

}
$( '#mgs_gallery_66edc9024b2e5 .mgs-gallery-images' ).slick( {

“We wanted to create a collection that not only honors the roots of golf but also connects our community to the incredible landscapes of the Scottish Highlands,” said Dominic Natalizio, Founder and CEO of Mantra. “Every piece in this collection is designed to evoke the spirit of Scotland while also providing the modern golfer with the performance and style they expect from Mantra.”
My favorite piece is the fescue polo. And before you ask, yes, I did end up in the fescue quite a bit at Royal Dornoch. The collection consists of a full line of polos, both “blade” style and traditional. You’ve also got your pick of quarter-zips and hoodies.
You can shop the entire Scottish Highlands Collection now at Mantra.
