I Play Favorites
It’s a good thing I only have one child because the others would have felt left out. My son Ben (from the blog Home Food Fun) and I play golf together as often as we can. Let me put it out there…HE IS SO MUCH BETTER AT THIS GAME THAN I WILL EVER BE. I also play favorites (I am loyal to a fault) to where I play (with the exception of when I am away from home), my cars (I drive a Subaru Outback and it’s my 2nd one in 3 years), and yes, even my subscription boxes, which is why you see Short Par 4here more than the others. They always send out top-of-the-line clothing that looks and fits great (and I am a 3XL, so not an easy task) and the golf equipment they put in each box is always the best on the market.
The Short Par 4 Holiday Box arrived
And I can’t say enough good things about it. It is chock full of great on and off the course shirts, a Callaway cap, a Short Par 4 golf towel as well as a sleeve of Taylor Made balls and Short Par 4’s signature T’s.
Here is what it all looks like
Taylor Made TP5 balls and signature Short Par 4 tees.
The necessities that you need each time you play because…ahem, I know that I lose a LOT of both of these things.
Callaway Cap
With an adjustable velcro back and great stain-proof fabric (because in Florida and with the way I shank I sweat on the course). It also comes with a Callaway ball marker!
Short Sleeve Shirt by Oxford America
This great golf shirt is perfect for year-round play. Mine arrived in a muted red color and is comfortable for play as well as everyday wear.
Graham Luxe long sleeve quarter zip
Great for fall or spring play, or as a winter shirt on a cool day. Even here in Florida, as the weather changes, not only do I find myself grabbing this great shirt or layering over another, but I like wearing long sleeves to help protect from the sun. This top alone has a $90 value which makes the $54.95 for the Fairway membership, well worth the price.
Short Par 4 is the PERFECT gift for the golfer in your life.
The products mentioned in this post were gifted to us at Cars Bars & Pars. All opinions are those of our staff.
My wife will tell you…I’d rather do almost ANYTHING than shop. I’ll cook dinner and even clean up after myself, I’ll take the dog for a walk in a storm. I’ll even sit through a Lifetime movie with her if it means that I don’t have to go into a store.
I hate to shop!
As an avid golfer (yes, THAT I’ll do any time, any day of the week) I do love having great equipment, looking good on the course, and being stocked with plenty of balls, tees, and gloves, but I usually either grab something while I’m checking out in the pro-shop or just ask my wife to pick them up for me while she’s out (she is the complete opposite of me, she could spend all day going from store to store). Did I mention that I don’t even like shopping online (except for cars…I like to look at old cars online).
When I learned that there are subscription boxes that send a monthly box of great golf apparel, gloves, balls, tees, and other equipment I knew that I HAD to check them out. With the holidays on the horizon, these make a great gift for ANY golfer, but for someone like me who hates to shop, it makes the BEST gift.
Today I’m showcasing THREE very different subscription boxes for golfers. I realize that everyone likes something a little different, and I found that all three of them offered options that I really like.
Short Par 4
Short Par 4 is that triple eagle you’ve been searching for.
3 Questions
3 Membership Options
1 Winning Subscription Box to your door every month
What I LIKE about it.
I tried the Fairway Membership Box and I like the fact that not only do they ask the usual questions like – right-handed vs left-handed, how often you play and what’s your handicap, but Short Par 4 gets to know you a little better by asking you to choose from various STYLES to see just what type of style is your most comfortable. It’s funny that a conservative dresser like myself (I’m a button-down shirt and khaki pants kind of guy) picked over-the-top colors and came out with a “Loud & Wild” style. But somewhere inside of me, I think that there’s a part of me that WANTS to be THAT GUY.
Questions they ask:
Shirt Size
Pant Size
Shoe Size
Hat Size
Glove Size
Glove Hand
Putter Type
and series of clothing photos where you choose your favorite colors & styles
My first box included a RED, WHITE & BLUE polo by 1764. Now, I’m not a small man. I’m almost 6’2″ and an XXXL (yes, I need to get my weight down), but Short Par 4 carries not only MY size but I found that the shirt they sent was LONG enough. The bag (everything arrived in a branded mailer bag) also included an oversized branded Short Par 4 golf towel and oversized tees (the only type that I’ll use).
Memberships include:
Fairway Membership – $54.95 per month with a $110 value
Executive Membership $109.95 per month with a $220 value
Magnolia Membership – $99 per month with a $200 value (my wife would LOVE this)
They also offer the first of its kind GOLF GLOVE MEMBERSHIP!!!
Mullybox is like hitting an 89 when you never break 100.
What I like about it
Of the 3 boxes that I received, Mullybox not only had the most products, but it also seemed to be extremely high quality. TNO MULLIGANS NECESSARY!
Mullybox claims that whether you are a scratch golfer or a beginner, you want to play better (don’t we all). So, they strive to make golf easier for you by carefully selecting gear that helps you develop what you need to look, feel, and play better. I know for a fact that using better equipment can absolutely help you be a better golfer and this subscription box is a straight shot and will make a great gift this holiday season.
While there is one subscription option vs. multiple by some of the other brands, this box just seemed to offer so much more.
Questions asked
Gender
Glove Hand
Glove Size
Shirt Size
The box that I received had a leaf-patterned LinkSoul short-sleeved shirt, a pair of no-show Pro-Dry golf socks by Swinger in the Mullybox colors, 2 sleeves of OnCore elixir golf balls, a Coral Golf Co glove (with a fun wrist pattern), tees, a bottle of Go Low Supplement and some Golf Impact Recorder Tape that I can’t WAIT to put on the head of my club to see if helps me to address the ball a little better.
Membership
Your Mullybox is delivered every 3 months at a cost of $111.11 with a value as high as $250 and is seasonally curated and delivered 4 times per year!
I’m almost embarrassed to say that I first learned about Swinger Box from my wife. She co-hosts a show and often has former New York Giants wide receiver Stephen Baker on when they talk about golf and other men’s interests. He is one of those guys who plays a LOT of golf (charity events, etc.) and he was excited about the box. I’ll also admit to raising my eyebrows when she told me (incorrectly) that the Swingers Box arrived. LOL – it’s the SWINGER BOX (we had a good laugh over that one).
Swinger Box calls itself the”Golf subscription box for any season” and offers the most economical entry of the three boxes. At $49 for a Starter Special and comes with a performance polo & 2nd apparel item as well as a leather glove & tees, it’s easy to check out what you’d get each month without making the commitment UNTIL you know that it’s something you’ll like. The Gear Box is their regular monthly subscription an offers a variety that might include apparel, outerwear, accessories as well as balls, tees & gloves.
Questions
Set a style – classic, modern or bold
Lefty or Righty
Waist Size (48 W is the largest)
Pant Length
Shirt Size (they go up to a 4XL!!!)
With the option of getting an o
The box I received included not one, but TWO very nice polo shirts (one in pink and one in gray) with one of them in size 5XL (so they may have these sizes occasionally as well), branded tees, and no-show socks, a Birdie golf cap, and club wipes.
Membership
Of the three boxes this one offers a $49 starter box so that you can check it out before subscribing. The regular Gear Box membership is $69 per month

I’m putting it ALL out there…
I am overweight. I am not just a little (as in 10-20 lbs) overweight, I am REALLY overweight. I have tried a lot of things from liquid diets to weight loss surgery, and while they all worked temporarily, each time I gained the weight back and more. My wife on the other hand took off almost 50 lbs this year and she made it look easy.
I have always looked for the quick fix
And while I was living on shakes or having my stomach turned into a sleeve, she was going for walks with the dog and eating when she was hungry and stopping when she was full. She made it look so easy, and if you ask her, she’ll tell you that it was. Why? Because she didn’t diet, didn’t go crazy in spin class, and didn’t do anything drastic. She just made a couple of lifestyle changes.
At 70 years old, I can be a slow learner
But, watching her made a bulb go off in my head. I needed to do something similar. I realized that the journey begins with one step and that I was self-sabotaging myself by doing things that weren’t sustainable.
So a year ago I began walking
Walking can be a challenge for someone with extra pounds, and I realized that listening to music as I walked helped me. I could happily listen to my favorite artists and not think about how far I still had to go, how I was getting tired, or that my body was beginning to ache. I could push through with the help of my favorite albums.
Music became the push that I needed
And, listening as I walked meant that I needed a set of wireless earbuds. I began using iLive Truly Wireless Earbuds on my walk. Compact and comfortable, these earbuds connected with my music easily with no cords to get in my way, no reminder that I was exercising, and no outside noise to distract me from my goal. I could walk, forgetting that I’ve got them in (they are incredibly comfortable) with James Brown telling me to “get on up” and I was the “eye of the tiger.” I could push past block #1 and got to measure my distance by songs as my iLive’s connected seamlessly via Bluetooth to my phone.
iLive makes listening to music easy
Sweatproof for those long walks or shooting hoops, they stow away easily to bring on a hike, a walk on the beach, or back home relaxing after my walk. The simple to use one-key control allows me to access Bluetooth, play, pause, phone, on and off with no complication.
A pair of sneakers, my iLive earbuds, and a place to walk
Exercise has become simpler, easier to do every day, and uncomplicated. This is something that I can stick with forever.
If you’re like me and have been struggling with taking the first step toward fitness
Why not try what I have?

User’s guide
Hmmm…someone stole my iLive Truly Wireless Earbuds
As usual, I am so proud of my wife for taking on the magazine along with her partner on The Compass Girls, Rachel. Each issue is better than the one before and this summer edition is chock full of great articles, drinks (which she may have gotten from yours truly) and more. I hope that you find something in this issue of value.
