GustBuster Pro Series Gold 62-Inch Golf Umbrella

The umbrella of choice for touring golf pros, the GustBuster Pro Series Gold 62-inch golf umbrella keeps you dry wherever you roam. The umbrella boasts an innovative, patented double-canopy design that shields up to two people at once, along with an all-fiberglass frame with solid, round, rustproof ribs and spreaders. As a result, the Pro Series Gold is capable of flexing with the wind then returning to its original shape. The thick wall construction, meanwhile, is extremely strong yet much lighter than most comparably sized umbrellas on the market. Most impressively, the umbrella is wind-tested to 55-plus miles per hour at the College of Aeronautics, with aerodynamic vents in the lower canopy letting the wind pass through while the upper canopy keeps the rain out. A favorite of PGA, LPGA, Senior PGA, and Nike Tour professionals, the Pro Series Gold umbrella measures 62 inches in diameter and carries a lifetime warranty.

Customer Review: Great Umbrella!!
This is a fabulous umbrella that is large enough for almost 3 people. It is a bit difficult to manually open, so I wish it had an automatic opener. Other than that, it is a great umbrella.
Customer Review: Love it, Love it, Love it
I've been using this umbrella on the course for 3 years now and it has performed fabulously...even when standing on the top of the summit course in Vail, CO in a huge rainstorm. If you don't have one, buy one.

The answer to this question is always relative. Most major golf publications will attempt to answer this question a few times a year. This dispute is settled by selecting golfers of different abilities to test specific clubs (or sets). From there the following is taken into account:

Shape
Construction
Manufacturing
Feel/comfort
Metrics/distances

This technique deciding who makes the best golf clubs serves two purposes:
1. It showcases leading brands (whose advertising dollars make print publications possible).
2. It attracts readers. If the reader doesn't purchase these clubs immediately, the seeds have been planted.

It is by no coincidence that the clubs tested by the leading gold publications are endorsed by tour pros and are the publications' biggest advertisers. These usually include the following brands (played by):

Adams (Aaron Baddeley)
Callaway (Gary Player)
Cleveland (Vijay Singh)
Cobra (Camilo Villegas)
Mizuno (Luke Donald)
Nickent (Jeff Quinney)
Nike (Tiger Woods)
Ping (Miguel Angel Jimenez)
Srixon (Jim Furyk)
TaylorMade (Gary McCord)
Titleist (Zack Johnson)
Tour Edge (Stacy Prammanasudh)

Note: There are many new designs from companies that can barely afford the expense of an eighth page print ad. They may have up-and-comers or long- past heroes endorsing their products.

However, the leading pros always follow the big money. Throughout his career, Tiger Woods has been with Nike. You will never catch him using a competitor's club or ball; and you will never see him wearing a competitor's golf cap or outfit. If you were to ask Tiger, "Who makes the best golf clubs?" he would be quick to name his long time sponsor.

Ask any golf pro and he or she will tell you that it is a good idea to update your equipment every couple of years. As to the question of who makes the best golf clubs, most pros have a favorite brand but will make recommendations based upon your specific needs.

Using a new set of clubs is similar to starting a new relationship. It starts out as a courtship, and eventually becomes more intimate. The excitement on the part of the player progresses to the point where the player and his/her clubs become virtually inseparable.

A seasoned golfer rarely purchases a set of clubs he has never tried. Better golf stores have ranges where floor models can be tested. Some country club pro shops will lend or rent these clubs to potential buyers. Take advantage of this before plunking your hundreds/thousands of dollars down on the latest gear. You will find that one golfer's "Excalibur" is another golfer's "so-what".

If you are planning to purchase new clubs to improve your game, try to keep the brand/player hype in the very back of your mind. Try out a wide range of different manufacturers and designs. Take feel, performance and distance into consideration based on your personal experience. Allow yourself the chance to decide what works best for you.
