“Growing the game.” It’s a tired, overworked phrase. And I’m not entirely sure people really understand what it means.

Yeah, the game is experiencing a resurgence. Equipment companies, golf courses, retailers and teaching pros are all riding the COVID wave. Both the National Golf Foundation and the R&A are reporting impressive growth in participation and record-breaking numbers of rounds played.

Keeping that momentum rolling, however, will be the challenge. Part of it, of course, is making sure as many of the “new” golfers as possible stick with the game once the newness wears off.

The second part is keeping the pipeline filled with juniors.

Right now, that pipeline appears to be brimming. There’s The First Tee, of course. And there are plenty of private and public junior programs out there. But John Breaker, founder, inventor and guiding spirit of Birdie Ball, sees another avenue that could very well introduce the game on a completely separate level while helping kids have more fun in the process.

PUMA and Kygo’s Palm Tree Crew brand have partnered again.For the first time, COBRA is offering limited-edition putters to complement its LE drivers.The apparel collection is casual yet trendy.The PUMA X PTC Collection is available now.

I don’t quite understand the fascination in trendy circles with collabs. Maybe it’s because I’m old and maybe it’s because Chris Nickel’s MGS X RiFF RAFF idea hasn’t panned out (yet). Nevertheless, cross-pollination of brands—as is the case with Version 2 of PUMA X PTC—isn’t going to go away anytime soon. So I suppose we should try and embrace it.

Officially—as much as a headline is official—the 2022 PUMA X Palm Tree Crew collection is about “blending golf, sport, music and lifestyle into a chic collection designed to perform on the course and make a statement off of it.”

Isn’t golf is a sport? That small redundancy aside, I get it.

If some of this is lost on you, what you need to know is that Palm Tree Crew is the lifestyle brand of DJ, songwriter and record producer Kygo. If you’re not familiar with Kygo (and I wasn’t before the first collab launched last year), a quick YouTube search will bring you up to speed.
