A London-born outdoor enthusiast, Tom took the first ticket out of suburban life. What followed was a twelve-year career as an adventure sports guide. This took Tom on cross-Scotland canoe trips, white water adventures in Nepal, sea kayaking in Norwegian fjords, mountain running in the Alps, and many more adventures. Tom is currently living back in the Scottish Highlands, spending as much time as possible exploring the endless rivers and ridgelines that make the country so special to him.

Steep, Unscripted, and Now Olympic: Freeride’s Big Leap

Victor de Le Rue stood in the starting tent atop the Bec de Rosses, 10,574 feet above Verbier, Switzerland, and surveyed the terrain. After some fist bumps, he dropped into the face, with pitches from 45 to 60 degrees, where cliff bands and outcroppings mar the surface like sharks waiting to attack. A place to survive. Instead, he turned it into a playground.

After a quick drop off a narrow outcropping, he surfed through a powder field, approached a snowy ridge, and lept into a backflip with the deftness of a leopard. From there, the dance continued. A backside 360 off a cliff, slashes through wind-whipped snow, and a run-capping drop over an extended rock formation. This is freeride. At once, a demonstration of skill and creativity.

Callaway Golf is topping out the bag game with the new Summit Collection

What is the definition of luxury? The state of great comfort, elegance, and indulgence? Quality and craftsmanship? Is it a feeling? A product? How about all of the above? In any case, it is something most of us strive for and few of us truly experience. That is why it is important to strike when the opportunity presents itself, and today it is, with a new golf bag from Callaway Golf. The Summit Collection launched today, featuring walk bags, cart bags, and stand bags for golfers seeking top-tier performance and premium materials. For me, luxury revolves around products that evoke comfort, elegance, and top-tier quality. There is no better way on the golf course than choosing the right gear.
