In a golf world filled with cookie-cutter products and far too many empty promises, it's always refreshing to come across a company that actually makes a product that is technologically superior to the rest and looks great in the process. The company is the Minnesota based Coolibar, named after Australia's famous large shade tree, and their mission statement really says it all. "Our mission is to develop superior sun protective products that allow people to enjoy life in the sun. We design, manufacture and market a range of quality sun protection products including sun protective clothes, SPF clothing, sun hats, sun protection swimwear, sunglasses, umbrellas, sunscreens and sunblock."
The genesis for this ground-breaking company came from an innocuous comment made to Australian native John Barrow at the turn of the century. John was living in Minnesota with his wife at the time but was planning a trip back to Australia. His dermatologist heard of his trip and asked him to bring back some UV swimwear because there was nothing like it in America. The preverbal light bulb went off in John's head and the rest they say is history. Coolibar was formed in 2002 by John and Mary Barrow and now is endorsed by the American Academy of Dermatology, The Skin Cancer Foundation, and the Melanoma International Foundation for their innovative design processes and functionality. According to Michael Hubsmith, the Executive Vice President of Marketing at Coolibar, in the extremely competitive clothing market it's paramount that Coolibar dominates their UV/Sun protection niche. "Being in a niche is a very helpful place to be. UV sun protection allows us to be ourselves and identifies who we are trying to sell to," concluded Hubsmith.
With their specific niche in mind it's also important to note that Coolibar for the time being cannot be found at local golf shops or green grass accounts in the Midwest. Instead, Coolibar has been able to control costs and therefore final pricing by selling directly to the consumer through their website at www.coolibar.com. "By selling directly to the consumer we believe Coolibar adds value and accessibility to our line. Down the road we are definitely entertaining thoughts of selling our product through a retail environment as our brand grows nationally," stated Hubsmith.

Golfers stuck between a rock and a hard place trying to figure out where their next round will come from might try an unlikely venue: the rock quarry. Once dismissed as useless rock piles, these "recovering gravel pits" have emerged as one of America's unique contributions to the golf course architectural cannon. Here's a list of the best in the U.S. - chalk it up to the rock, white and blue.
The Quarry Course (Black Diamond)
Lecanto, Fla. (Tom Fazio 1987)
Fazio's (dare we say) Central Florida gem was the course that began the quarry course movement in earnest. The Quarry Course at Black Diamond is forged through the jagged walls and shimmering lakes of two retired limestone quarries. Original owner Stan Olsen picked up the property for pocket change, and charged Fazio with pulling off what was then one of the most unimaginable feats in golf course design and engineering. Legendary golf writer Dan Jenkins called the five quarry holes (13-17) "the five best consecutive holes in the world." Black Diamond is private (very), but it is never too late to befriend a member, or even purchase a membership at this 45-hole country club.
