Every once in a while a brand comes along that changes the game. Not just through innovation, but also a spark of creativity, a spark of fun, a burst of personality. For golf, and the world of golfing, Pins & Aces is that brand. It brings a fresh, irreverent twist to the game allowing everyone to share in their own self-expression. How? Golf has long called for a certain dress code on the green. You know that. I know that. We all know that. This can sometimes stunt creativity and fun. Pins & Aces wants to change that by introducing a little attitude to the course, which also positions it as an excellent purveyor of gifts for golfers.

Through unique collaborations, interesting apparel, and a focus on confidence, style, and fun — this is not your grandpa’s golf gear. And that’s also why it’s so great. It’s not just apparel, though. Consider unique headcovers for clubs, beer sleeves, custom ball markers, exclusive storage options like hat caddies, and so much more. Nearly every piece is adorned with a unique or custom set of prints and styles, so you can show off your own personal flair. We’re not talking muted polos and bland dress shirts here. We’re talking about gorgeous micro floral prints, volcanic ash patterns, lobster motives, and more. Want a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle driver cover? Yep, that’s in there. It goes without saying but they make the perfect gift for golf lovers and enthusiasts, too.

LiquorStick 2.0 from Pins & Aces -- makes great gifts for golfers
Pins & Aces

First, let’s start with the Liquorstick because this thing is just pure genius. It’s a tall, hollow stick with a spigot on the top for pouring your stored beverage. It also holds up to 750ml of whatever you want, from whiskey and bourbon to Gatorade. Then, it slips neatly inside your golf bag, disguised by all of the other stick-like items in there — your clubs. It has a USB-C powered and dispensing pump, and you can cover it up with a club cover, and no one will be the wiser. Genius, right?

For a limited time, you can get one of those Liquorsticks free, on orders of over $200. That may seem like a lot, but when you see the Pins & Aces apparel and all of the other extras, yeah, you’ll spend that in a heartbeat. There’s some really cool stuff in there, especially if you’re shopping for some real geeks. Hey, I’m a geek. I get it.

There’s a set of Trump-themed club covers, South Park, NASA, Home Alone — yes with Kevin — Joker, Ninja Turtles, your favorite sports team(s), an ICEE cup — you name it. There are also golf bags, beer sleeves to hold up to a six-pack, and tons of apparel. From polos and dress shirts to sweaters, joggers, and beyond. Look, just trust me when I say there’s a lot to sift through and a lot of it you’ll probably end up falling in love with.

So, what’s the catch? No catch. Some of the gear is on sale, some of it isn’t, but it all makes for excellent personalization on and off the course. Also, because it’s so unique, I think you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who loves and plays golf but didn’t enjoy receiving this stuff. Hell, I don’t even play golf and I’d love to get some of it.

Going to the Smoky Mountains in June? Watch out for these closures
Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Repairs and renovations at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park continue as the National Park Service continues to prepare the mountains for the 2025 summer season. If you're planning on visiting the Smokies in June, watch out for these spring closures that could add additional travel time to your trip.

First, off, let's look at the closures affecting sections of Little River Road. The first one will take place from June 3rd through 4th, from 7:00 a.m. to noon. During this time, there will be no direct travel from Townsend Wye to Metcalf Bottoms Picnic Area, so visitors will need to detour through Wears Valley Road (US 321) between Townsend and Line Springs Road.

This simple camping trick keeps bugs away without harsh chemicals
Looking to keep the bugs away with a natural solution? Try sage
Camping around a fire

Modern chemical bug repellents, while generally safe, can be a great way to keep away those pesky mosquitoes. However, these repellants often contain harsh chemicals, such as DEET, picaridin, and permethrin, which have been known to cause skin irritation risks, poison water sources, or even be toxic to wildlife. The NIH reports that these chemical repellents are not safe for public health and should be used with caution. Natural bug repellents like tea tree oil work great when diluted and sprayed onto skin, but what can you do to keep the bugs away from your campsite? Here's my sage advice for saying "shoo fly, don't bother me."
Use sage to keep the bugs away

Sage is a common herb that acts as a natural bug repellent due to several compounds such as camphor, 8-cineole, and thujone, which produce a strong aroma that repels insects by overwhelming their sensory systems. It has an herbaceous aroma that's both strong and earthy, and can often be slightly peppery or woody in scent. Personally, I find it to be more pleasant than tea tree oil, so it can be a great alternative.

A golf ball sitting in grass.

When you're just getting started with golf, you may not realize that there are several different kinds of golf balls, each tailored for a specific skill level, swing speed, or other priorities. The choices can be overwhelming, but they boil down to three kinds: two piece, three piece, and four piece. So now you might be wondering, what golf ball should I use? In this guide, we're going to discuss the three major kinds of golf balls and how to choose the best one for you.

When choosing a golf ball, you'll first need to assess your skill level, swing speed, priorities for distance control, materials, and budget. These five factors aren't the only things to consider, but they will get you to a great starting point. The key is to understand the construction and performance characteristics of each golf ball. In a nutshell, two-piece, also known as low-compression balls, prioritize distance and are great for beginners. Three-piece golf balls have better control for more intermediate players, while still giving you great distance. And lastly, the four-piece golf balls, or high-compression balls, are perfect for advanced players for their precision. Here's the breakdown:
