ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — As pro shops go, it’s tough to compete with Sea Island Resort, which is elegantly laid out and just drips with a sense of being a classy joint that’s going to leave a dent in your wallet. The merchandise tent at the RSM Classic, on the other hand, is a temporary structure that qualifies as lean and mean.
Rain shirts are in this week — as the weather has been wet to very wet so far — but the ski caps, which were a hot commodity last year in cold weather, are less popular as the temperature has hovered around a more pleasant 70 degrees. Peter Millar is the dominant brand with a sprinkling of Holderness & Bourne, and tournament favorites Levelwear and TASC. Hats from Imperial Headwear are available too, but it’s a largely vanilla offering and to whomever is in charge, let’s do better.
But the resort pro shop is where you could easily drop some serious dough and I was most impressed with the head cover selection. So many fun options, multiple logo choices, including the wicker basket flagstick, which is not used during the RSM Classic but otherwise something that sets the resort apart from other courses. Check out photos of some of the best of merchandise available this week at the 2023 RSM Classic.
