Product Review: Antigua 2012 Desert Dry Series

To paraphrase the old Saturday Night Live skit Fernando’s Hideaway - with Billy Crystal - “It’s better to look good than to play good.” The Spring 2012 performance golf fashion collection from Antigua (www.antigua.com) will take care of the first part of that equation.
Antigua’s Desert Dry offering boasts the company’s exclusive moisture-wicking fabric developed to perform under all perspiration conditions. In short, it keeps golfers dry and comfortable.
Taking that one step further, the Desert Dry Xtra-Lite is the Desert Dry combined with specially constructed ultra-light fabrics for maximum wicking performance and optimum comfort.
From Antigua: “The Antigua Spring 2012 performance golf fashion collection is fresh and bright and fun and new. It introduces shades of cool wedgewood, bright berry, electric keylime, sharp melon, rich azalea and a wash of turquoise. Paired with every shade of neutral and along with shades of grey the bright colors compliment the subtle neutrals in an unexpectedly pleasing palette. 

“Complimenting the use of color is the merchandised offering which offers textured drop needle horizontal and vertical fabrics, subtle piping details on a textured style, incorporating a block of fabric and color for simplicity, and including the compliment of a soft contrast stripe all tell the same story,” Antigua continued. “Embellishing the offering with a full on splash of color makes this Spring 2012  presentation sharp and fresh.”
In short, the 2012 line by Antigua looks and feels great. Can it help your game, though? In a word, yes.
Considering golf is a game played on a 5-inch course - the space between your ears - (paraphrasing Bobby Jones this time) having a heavy, sweaty shirt to think about while playing won’t be an issue. Concentrate on hitting the fairway or sinking a putt, instead.
Recommendation: Find one of the new shirts from Antigua, put it on, turn up the heat and stay cool under pressure.
