aRUDE comment

As a young lad, I was attracted to a certain verdancy explicit in, collectively, Polo, cricket and golf. But unlike Polo or cricket, golf has an implicit Arcadian resolve that becalms.

In this golf issue, our first, we investigate the range and intricacies of the games venue and players, both amateur and professional. Taking a somewhat populist approach, we have touched upon a handful of professionals, legends, and amateurs for whom playing golf is ultimately a lifestyle. What's most interesting is the ratio of amateurs to the professional minority that play the game. Tiger Woods has undoubtedly popularized the game, catapulting it into the stratosphere like no one else in history, which may help account for the vast and ever-growing number of golf enthusiasts.

Many fashion houses and clothing manufacturers have now turned to creating golf as a lifestyle collections ? to great effect, financially and otherwise. Perhaps they have taken a lesson from Ralph Lauren?s Polo line, which owes virtually none of its huge success to actual polo players but rather to the masses that have eagerly adopted such attire as a symbol of an imaginary wished-for lifestyle.

aRUDE nonchalantly escorted two young women to the Bridgehampton golf course for a frolicsome abandonment; now they are both hooked on the lifestyle. See the fashion spreads within and you too may be hooked as well. Given the chasm in the game's gender parity, these two beauties may unintentionally engender a golf-chic revolution.

We also paid homage to Payne Stewart, who reintroduced a dash of dandyism and lifestyle to the game before meeting an untimely death in a plane crash. (Contemporary golf attire is alarmingly in need of refinement. Poor Stewart! He did his best.) We also check up on the immortal Bobby Jones, a man who retired from competition at the tender age of 28, won 13 majors, a Grand Slam, and created the Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters tournament. In a rare interview, living legend Gary Player narrates the very gradual glamorization of golf spanning from at least the past five or so decades. And of course Tiger is in the house, in a succinct profile by John Huggan.

Get ready to strike a pose and take a swing!
