7 Products You Didn’t Know You Needed

Austin Country Club Vintage Edition Hat

Austin Country Club’s merchandise buyer took a risk with designing and ordering this hat—and boy, did it pay off. If you were fortunate enough to make it out to this year’s Dell Match Play golf tournament, odds are, you saw more and more of these hats (in a variety of colors) as the week went on. In fact, they sold out so fast—and received so many requests—they’ve put in another order to meet the high demand. This hat not only hit a stylish chord with the golf crowd, it’s also purposeful: it's made of a lightweight poly-fabric that has sweat-wicking properties. This is the perfect accessory for the summer’s golf outings. $25; Available exclusively at Austin Country Club.
