As seen on Fred Couples during the 2012 golf season, the new BIOM Golf Hybrid shoe from ECCO is a lightweight blend of new-age materials and breathable Yak leather. “BIOM Hybrid presents a footwear experience that’s unlike anything else the walking golfer has ever experienced,” says Michael Waack, Head of Global Golf at ECCO. Originally developed for the premium running market, ECCO has used Natural Motion technology with these new kicks and it provides exceptional insole support. The outsole is grippy, the inside is comfortable and the styling is so good, we want to wear them off the course. And what’s best with these cleatless shoes, we can.

OK, so it's not a piece of equipment but there’s nothing quite as beautiful as a classic golf course. In fact sometimes you wish you could capture one so you can look at it any time of the day. The publishers of 18 Greatest Golf books understand how we all feel. Their first two limited edition volumes, “18 Greatest Scottish Golf Holes” and “18 Greatest Irish Golf Holes” take you on a visual journey through those two golf rich countries. Printed in Italy at Editoriale Bortolazzi Stei and photographed by John Kernick, they feature some of the world’s most scenic layouts, including the Old Course at St Andrews, Turnberry, Carnoustie, Ballybunion, Portmarnock and Royal Portrush.
