New for 2020: Polo Ralph Lauren Golf & RLX Golf Fall collections
Ralph Lauren has announced its Golf & RLX Golf apparel Fall 2020 collection—featuring a range of men’s and women’s gear using recycled polyester with sustainability in mind.
The ‘Preppy’ Pre-Fall/Fall men’s collection contains an assortment of soft bright hues that are grounded in white and navy. Inspired by vintage Polo neckwear and iconic Ralph Lauren patterns, the updated pieces for 2020 also contain colorful madras, preppy foulards, tonal paisleys, and small-scale florals.
For the fall collection, hybrid layering has progressed with a change in the quilting layout. According to the company, this includes updates to higher functioning trims, as well as the introduction of an improved quality fleece layer – the polar tech. For the bottoms, multiple weights feature in design to make sure all needs are covered from classic everyday pants to outerwear down as well as a rainsuit pant.
Featured in the RLX athleisure release is a long sleeve crewneck as well as a half-zip—both in a new lightweight air micro-mesh fabrication aimed to provide maximum warmth inside or outside. Additionally, there is a new fabrication for the jogger—a heat tech Henley in a lux jersey, containing a soft hand feel and designed to provide excellent performance comfort. New colorways and prints are also introduced this season in tonal camos and Fall Blue.
The men’s Cruise/Holiday range is inspired by Thracian Cliffs, a scenic course along the Black Sea. The collection features the colors of lavender, light blue, and royal, grounded in navy and grey, and includes classic menswear prints and yarn dyes, such as dots, checks, foulards, and glen plaids.
The women’s Pre Fall/Fall delivery contains a rainbow assortment of soft bright colors grounded in white and navy and channeled in the form of small-scale floral prints, preppy scarf patterns, and tech eyelet fabric.
The collection includes a variety of skort silhouettes including knit jersey and eyelet flounces, four-way stretch pleats, and yarn dye ruffles designed to provide golfers with a variety of styling options.
The women’s Cruise/Holiday collection is inspired by the golf courses of California and features bright sport colors like neon lime, orange, red and royal, against a backdrop of Navy. The collection also contains pop colors featured in collar-tipping, zips, stripes and color blocking with a strong activewear aesthetic in mind.
Feminine prints including, florals, sailboats, and tie-dye plaid aim to balance the sportiness of the Cruise/Holiday range.
The Polo Golf and RLX Golf collections are available in select Ralph Lauren stores, exclusive private clubs and resorts and online at RalphLauren.com.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
- driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300. The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length. I am playing a Ventus Red 70. I play 70 grams in my fairways. I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee. When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time. So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck. The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
- JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”
