@therealmcnair Do both. Then see how each does. Excited to see them.

I decided early on that I was going to build this brand in public. And I’ve hit a crossroads. One of the core principles of this company is making things in America. Cotton shirts that fit and feel how I want? That was a problem we could solve here. Alligator belts at an approachable price and real quality? Solved here. Natural fiber twill shorts that actually fit right and are priced right? Solved here. Old school construction footwear for the course? We think we can solve that here too. Sweaters are a different animal. We can absolutely make cotton cable knits in the USA. And we will. But I love cashmere. We’ve found a small family mill in Italy that truly knows what they’re doing. We could import yarn and knit here, but by the time you’re done, costs skyrocket, quality likely goes down. and it defeats the mission of solving the problem, making the highest quality product accessible. If they knit and construct it there, I could offer what is essentially a $650 sweater for under $200. So the question becomes: is a small, specialty Made in Italy line antithetical to what we stand for? Or is delivering exceptional value in price and quality also part of the mission? We aren’t talking mass offshore production. We’re talking family mills, real craft. This isn’t cutting corners. It’s a philosophical tension. I don’t you can buy quality cashmere that’s constructed in the USA. These are the kinds of decisions that get complicated when you actually stand for something. You have to ask yourself what matters most. Part of building in public is crowdsourcing feedback and staying accountable. Letting customers help shape the direction. I don’t have the answer today. I’d genuinely like your thoughts.

@PGATOUR Why are we playing Pebble in February, makes zero sense.

The type of shots that Pebble Beach in February requires:

@therealmcnair 😤

No beautiful woman has ever found you attractive in a plastic micro print shirt. It’s scientifically not possible. Evolution is a crazy thing. Wear cotton, shoot low scores, reproduce beauties. Let Big Poly fight for the scraps. There can only be so many Kings.

@aviiianab @pbresorts1919 @RyanQualtrics @realmichaelpena @danielrainge It was a perfect day. We played 36.

@MikePBennett @pbresorts1919 @RyanQualtrics @realmichaelpena @danielrainge Of course….. I walked by Pebble this afternoon and thought about how lucky anyone that had a tee time here today was. 75 and not a cloud in the sky. And of all people 🙄

hole-in-one on for Ryan Smith #7 at Pebble Beach @pbresorts1919 @RyanQualtrics @realmichaelpena @danielrainge

@Jaker22Williams @BYUbluThru From the guy who says “be kind” in his profile 🤣

@BYUbluThru Were you there? Bad takes! BYU is #9 so it’s more interesting to go and it was 30-35% BYU fans and your fans are fake just like your bought team! You have like 2 LDS members on the team.. great you paid for your basketball team. You just added a D leaguer. Pipe down douche

The Huntsman Center has never been so full. Amazing how their own team can’t motivate them to attend, but BYU can. It’s almost like they hate BYU more than they love Utah. Anyone surprised? 🤭

@RGIII @thekehlzone Wow

The 3rd place ACC will be playing in the CFP Semifinal. DON’T EVER TELL ME 3 LOSS BIG 10 or SEC TEAM IS BETTER THAN A 2 LOSS ACC OR BIG 12 TEAM EVER AGAIN.

@Matt_Pinner Family Man 💯

Can you name a Nicolas Cage movie you like that is not The Rock, Con Air or Face Off 🤔

@CalClimbingSoup Really enjoyed getting to know you at dinner last night. You are so talented. Have a great weekend!!

Biggest invitational of the year here for us…those that know the event know it!

@flopfather This made me LOL

This is by far the wildest #LOTD I’ve seen in the wild… guy on my ferry the other day ripping an ANGC beanie, very elusive tech

@golfcourses101 Ohoopee > Tree Farm > Old Barnwell … but they are all awesome

I feel like wherever I go somebody brings up Old Barnwell to me. They ask me: Have you played it? What did you think? So I’ll ask everyone here: what did you think?

@RyanPickTW Where does it rank for you?

Day 1 at Ohoopee Match Club is in the books!

@TheSeppticTank @adplacksports Respectfully disagree

@adplacksports Ohoopee is extremely overrated. The allure is the logo and the exclusivity. The golf is good, not great. Old Barnwell, The Tree Farm, and Childress Hall are better golf. Fall Line allegedly blows Ohoopee out of the water

Everything I’m reading, seeing and hearing about this place is just massive green flags everywhere. So many things done the right way. Just word of mouth conjecture here, but would not be surprised if Fall Line debuts in the top 100 and within a couple years is thought of as superior to Oohoopee (as a golf course) and many other destination clubs. I’m not saying that this is OCM’s Sand Hills but I’m not not saying it!

Electric day at the #RyderCup. We were soooo close. Not loving the “injured” gets 1/2 point rule.
