Keep it quiet:</strong> Be respectful and mindful of the noise you’re making while on the course and limit any talking during your group member’s turns.</p><p><strong>2. Considerate Positioning:</strong> Check your surroundings to ensure you’re not blocking anyone’s view as they take their shot.</p><p><strong>3. Pace of Play:</strong> Maintain a good pace while on the green.

Caring for the Green:</strong> Take care of the green while on the course before putting. Use a repair tool or tee to gently restore any ball marks or divots you create.</p><p><strong>5. Respect for Wildlife:</strong> Don't disturb or go out of your way to interact with any animals you may see on the course.</p><p><strong>6. Yelling Fore:</strong> If you hit your ball a little wonky and think it may hit a player or a group of players it’s crucial that you yell out fore to alert others on the course that a golf ball may be heading in their direction.</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1300/1100;" src="https://brand.assets.adidas.com/image/upload/v1715624157/edi_ss24_golf_course_etequette_blog_image_03_5077e0da5f.jpg" width="1300" height="1100"></figure><p><br><strong>7. Be Prompt:</strong> It’s recommended to show up at least 15-30 minutes early to ensure you’re ready to tee off at your scheduled time.</p><p><strong>8. Flagstick Awareness: </strong>The flagstick can be left in or removed while putting, just be sure it isn’t blocking anyone's view. If you do remove it make sure it's fully inserted into the hole before moving on.</p><p><strong>9. Rake the Bunker:</strong> If your ball lands in a sand bunker, use a rake to smooth out the sand after you’ve played your shot.</p><p><strong>10. Putting Line:</strong> The putting line refers to the invisible line between a golfer’s ball and the hole. Be sure to mind this line and not walk on it as doing so will impact the path of the ball due to footprints and pressure on the green.</p><h2>Navigating the Course</h2><p>As you step onto the green, remember that these rules enhance the game's flow and give you a proper understanding of golf course etiquette. When you allow these rules to guide how you show up for tee time, you contribute to the tradition of golf being a timeless and sophisticated sport that is respectful and inclusive to all players.&nbsp;</p>

Use a repair tool or tee to gently restore any ball marks or divots you create. 5. Respect for Wildlife: Don't disturb or go out of your way to interact with any animals you may see on the course. 6. Yelling Fore: If you hit your ball a little wonky and think it may hit a player or a group of players it’s crucial that you yell out fore to alert others on the course that a golf ball may be heading in their direction. 7. Be Prompt: It’s recommended to show up at least 15-30 minutes early to ensure you’re ready to tee off at your scheduled time. 8. Flagstick Awareness: The flagstick can be left in or removed while putting, just be sure it isn’t blocking anyone's view. If you do remove it make sure it's fully inserted into the hole before moving on. 9. Rake the Bunker: If your ball lands in a sand bunker, use a rake to smooth out the sand after you’ve played your shot. 10. Putting Line: The putting line refers to the invisible line between a golfer’s ball and the hole. Be sure to mind this line and not walk on it as doing so will impact the path of the ball due to footprints and pressure on the green. Navigating the Course As you step onto the green, remember that these rules enhance the game's flow and give you a proper understanding of golf course etiquette. When you allow these rules to guide how you show up for tee time, you contribute to the tradition of golf being a timeless and sophisticated sport that is respectful and inclusive to all players.

Ace The Looks How To Style A Tennis Skirt- PC - women tennis

The new little black dress, tennis skirts have become the “it” item in closets across the globe. From girl bosses to top-tier athletes to your favorite fashion influencer, everyone is loving the timeless and versatile silhouette of the tennis skirt. Depending on how you style them, tennis skirt outfits can add a touch of playfulness, edge and flirty femininity to your looks. Your Serve: Tenniscore x adidas We played dress-up with Portland stylist Kai Magobenny to discover the best ways to style an adidas tennis skirt. From color-blocked and deeply pleated to monochrome and slim-fitting, the adidas tennis skirt catalogue is expansive and can fit any styling aesthetic. "I like that adidas incorporates different materials and structures into their tennis skirts," said Magobenny. "Some are pleated, some are mesh, some have wider waistbands, there's something for everyone." Off to the Farmer’s Market A coquette girl living in a tenniscore world. When you’re off to embrace the flora and food at the farmer’s market, you want to feel light, bright and airy. For a sunny spring day, Magobenny paired a sweat-wicking light pink adidas tennis skirt, made in part with 70% recycled materials, with a fitted white top layered with white and pink bralettes. The branded over the calf socks are asymmetrically layered under varying socks and tights that were cut to create the look. Satin ribbon laces through the sambas and weaves up scrunched knit leg warmers, tying a sweet bow to finish off the look. This look screams soft and airy but also ready to squabble over the last zucchini squash. Note from the Stylist: “Tennis skirts are an ultra-femme statement piece, and sometimes they are begging to be dressed up. The pleating blends perfectly with the other core elements of the Coquette Trend and it's a good starting point you can build up from.” Off to Get the Bag We see you working girl! From taking meetings to filming content for a brand, when girl boss duties call, one must look the part. For this look, Magobenny layered a white adidas Club tennis skirt over a pair of chocolate ribbed and flared pants. When it comes to what top goes best with a tennis skirt the answer is simple, whichever looks best and conveys the vibe you are going for. For this corpore meets tenniscore look, she tucked a white button up shirt into the skirt and threw a black adidas utility vest over it. The chunky earrings and sleek amber-hued frames add a chic touch while the black and white Ozweego OG sneakers remind us that behind every working woman is a top-tier pair of shoes. Note from the Stylist: “Optics are important, but sacrificing style for stoicism isn't the only way to get a job done. Letting your personality come out a little in your aesthetic expression can benefit you wonderfully.” Off to Romanticize Life Do you enjoy solo dates in the city, journaling in the park, and stopping to smell the roses? You may have a case of romanticizing your life—there is no cure, but we have the perfect outfit to go along with it. This deeply pleated white and pink adidas tennis skirt is paired with a black oversized adicolor track jacket, white adidas socks and grey Campus 000s sneakers. To add a bit of “who is that girl” energy to the look, Magobenny paired a retro adidas cap and silver dangling earrings with chrome adidas original sunglasses. Note from the Stylist: “This look revolves around quiet confidence and being satiated by your own mind. If you're one to meditate in the present, the bare leg will be a sensory dream, think soft breezes and tickly grass while you daydream of your future achievements, or ruminate over the frosting at that one kid's birthday party when you were seven. Was it Italian or Swiss-buttercream?” Off to the Music Festival From fist-pumping to EDM to two-stepping to an early 2000s R&B jam, multifaceted attire is key at a music festival. Magobenny paired a black Aeroready tennis skirt that comes with neon leggings with a purple adidas sports bra and a white adidas Anorak jacket that can be worn off the shoulder or zipped all the way up. Adorned with water bottle holders, lemon-rimmed adi sunglasses and Terrex Free Hiker Gore-tex 2.0 hiking boots, this outfit sings “ready for anything.” The action-ready tennis skirt and leggings duo encourages movement, comfort, and style—because we’ll never make you choose one over the other. Note from the Stylist: “I love the idea of bringing tenniscore to the festy-verse because it's wildly practical AND cute. This look can go a million ways, depending on your vibe but whatever it may be, the tennis skirt is your most trusted companion.” Off to Date Night Speakeasies and photobooths, sunsets and hand holding, no matter what your date night entails you want a look that screams chic, fun and “look at me.” The sleek white and black adidas tennis skirt hugs the hips. Monochrome red tights and heels lengthen the legs, and the animal print crop top layered under the mesh jaguar top add a hint of edgy interest. And because you can buy yourself flowers, we included those too. Note from the Stylist: “Just like the cultural ethos of indie sleaze, with this look, the wrongs are making a right. I love the mishmash of different styling elements used here, animal print, red color blocking, leather etc. Being unapologetically messy and simultaneously extravagant, indie sleaze is all about celebrating the chaotic.” Finishing Touches Tennis skirts have come a long way, from the court to Pinterest boards to camera rolls to finally making it into your closet. When experimenting with what to wear with a tennis skirt, let your vibe guide you. Whether you're doing cartwheels in the park or singing karaoke on a date, trust that an adidas tennis skirt will help you elevate your outfit and express your unique style journey. "Try different sizes and waist placements," said Magobenny. "Layer your tennis skirt up or down, show some skin—or don't! Have fun with it. Style is all about experimenting and figuring out what feels good on you."  We hope this styling guide helps bring your creativity and confidence to life.

Have you ever had a special connection with a pair of sneakers? You may have a ride or die pair of kicks that have been through it all with you or a pair of shoes you wear whenever you need to boost your confidence. Regardless of your shoe story, your sneakers reflect where you've been and what you've done, and they are bound to get dirty, which is okay! Shoes are meant to be lived in and enjoyed. Learning how to clean your sneakers is a phenomenal way to maintain your shoe collection and increase their lifespan. We spent the morning at Deadstock Coffee with owner and sneaker enthusiast Ian Williams and Charlie Kirihara, an adidas color and material designer, to break down the shoe cleaning process and teach you how to clean white shoes at home. The Breakdown: How To Clean adidas Shoes There are five steps in the shoe cleaning process: Getting prepped and gathering the essentials Washing the outsole Washing the uppers Washing the laces Letting your shoe and laces air dry Today we’ll be cleaning the adidas Superstar. This iconic shoe is made of a leather upper and rubber outsole, making it pretty easy to clean. "The leather on most Superstars is tough enough to go through quite a bit of scrubbing and not show any scratches or scuffs," said Kirihara. "The rubber on the toe and the outsole is great too because it doesn't matter what you do to it, it won't get marked up." Before we get into learning how to wash adidas shoes we must gather the essentials! You will need the following materials: Microfiber towels Warm water Shoe cleaning solution or soapy water Warm Bleach water for your laces Socks or a shoe form to place inside of your shoe to keep its shape while cleaning. A cleaning tray or towel Nitrile gloves Soft and hard bristle brush Toothbrush Dirt picking tools 1.) Get Prepped Once you have all your essentials gathered, it’s time to prep your shoe for cleaning. Put on your gloves and place your dirty shoes in your tray or on top of a towel. Begin removing the laces from your shoe. Once you remove the laces, place them in the bowl of bleach water. Spend a minute massaging the bleach into the laces. Place them to the side and let them soak. We will come back to them later. Using your soft bristle brush, begin knocking any loose dirt you see off the upper of your shoe. Use your toothbrush to get into smaller areas of your shoe. Once the upper has been dusted off, pick up your hard bristle brush and begin knocking dirt off the rubber outsole of your shoe. After you knock all the debris off your shoe, stuff your socks or shoe form into your shoe to help it keep its shape while getting cleaned. Hot Take from Charlie: “If you don’t have sneaker cleaning solution at home you can use dish soap and warm water instead. It works great with a few different materials.” 2.) Washing the Outsole The outsole is the part of the shoe that touches the ground when you walk. When learning how to clean shoes remember that you may need different tools to clean specific areas of your shoe. Use your hard bristle brush when cleaning the outsole. Pick up your hard bristle brush and wet it with some warm water. Then add some cleaning solution to the brush. Begin scrubbing the outsole. Let the grooves of this part of the shoe guide you as you clean it. You can pick up your dirt pick and use it to get into the hard-to-reach areas of the outsole. Wipe your shoe down with the microfiber cloth as you go. Once you feel like the outsole is clean, move on to the upper. Hot Take from Ian: “Avoid touching the collar of your shoe when cleaning your outsole, this will limit dirt transfer.” 3.) Washing the Upper The upper is the area of the shoe that covers the entire foot. Use your soft bristle brush to not wear away the material when cleaning this part of the shoe. Wet the soft bristle brush with clean warm water and apply some cleaning solution or dish soap to it. Begin scrubbing the upper area of the shoe. You want to take your time and scrub gently when cleaning the upper to keep the material in good condition. Spend extra time scrubbing away any deep stains or smudges. Use the toothbrush to target specific stains in harder-to-reach areas on your shoe. Use your microfiber towel to wipe away the dirt as you clean. Hot Take from Charlie: “Scrub don’t rub when cleaning the upper, this way you won’t wear away the fabric.” 4.) Washing the Laces Your laces allow your sneakers to fit snugly and securely—when clean—they are the cherry on top of a dazzling shoe. Pick up your laces and wring them out. You’ll see all the dirt is now in the bleach water and not in your laces. Lay a microfiber cloth on your tray or base towel and place your laces on top. Fold the towel over the laces and press down to squeeze any excess water out of the laces. Hot Take from Charlie: “Don’t underestimate how effective cleaning your laces or replacing them can be. Putting clean or new laces in can make your shoes look brand new.” 5.) Let Them Air Dry The final step in the shoe cleaning process is to let them dry! Place your laces near your shoes and let them air dry at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. This process can take a while, but when your shoes feel dry to the touch inside and out, they’re ready to wear again! Hot Take from Ian: “The mistake I see most often when people are cleaning their shoes at home is not letting them dry. If you don’t let your shoes dry, you’re going to go back out, and they are going to get re-muddy and pick up all that dirt again. Let them dry!" Sneaker Genius Collective We chatted with the best in the shoe biz to bring you expert tips and insights on how to clean your sneakers at home. Get to know our sneaker genius collective below! Shoe Cam Ready Whether you're a sneaker lover or someone new to the shoe world, understanding how to clean your sneakers is the key to enhancing their wearability and longevity. When cleaning white shoes or any color sneaker, release the need to be perfect. “You’re going to think it needs to be perfect, and perfect isn’t necessarily it,” said Williams. “Every once in a while, your shoes may still look a little worn, but that’s the story, that’s part of the journey and perfectly fine.” Lean into living in and wearing your sneakers and take solace in that fact that you now know how to properly clean them.

Picking the day’s golf shoes is like reading the course: you make your decision based on the conditions and your individual playing style. When it comes to choosing between spiked vs. spikeless golf shoes, the answer isn't always obvious. As the technology in both types has improved, spikes have become lighter and more comfortable, while spikeless shoes offer more traction than ever before. We asked Masun Denison, the Global Footwear Director for adidas Golf, to provide all the details on how to choose between spiked vs. spikeless golf shoes. Spiked Golf Shoes Ideal for slippery conditions and strong swings, spiked golf shoes have a set of sharp cleats or spikes on the bottom of the outsole. Since many courses no longer allow golf shoes with spikes made of metal, adidas golf spikes are crafted with acrylic Thintech material that’s lighter on you and the course. “We design our spiked shoes to have great traction and to not tear up the greens. Spikes leave marks so we add secondary lugs that support the main spikes and reduce deep marks in the putting surface,” said Denison. Is it better to have spikes on golf shoes? Many dedicated golfers choose spiked shoes for games where your footing is key. “If you play year-round, often play in wet or muddy conditions, have a high swing speed, and always want maximum grip, then a spiked golf shoe is a great choice,” said Denison. “Traction levels are typically higher and can remain strong due to the replaceability of the spikes. This is one of the main reasons why many professionals prefer spiked golf shoes.” TOUR360 Spiked Golf Shoes   If you want pinnacle performance and comfort, TOUR360 is the shoe to try. Wrapped in confidence, the TOUR360 24 elevates every touchpoint of the foot to help with traction, stability and comfort to give golfers everything they need to perform their best on the course. “Our objective was to take key learnings from nearly 20 years of TOUR360 development to enhance the performance of the shoe from the inside out,” said Denison. “We wanted to capture that feeling of confidence that comes when someone puts their foot into the shoe for the first time and gets excited to head to the first tee.” Spikeless Golf Shoes For those times when you need versatility more than precision, spikeless golf shoes offer the best of all worlds. Instead of cleats, the outsoles are studded or dimpled for extra traction. One major advantage is versatility—no need to change your shoes before you head back to the clubhouse. What is the advantage of spikeless golf shoes? Some golfers find spikeless shoes more comfortable and versatile for walking on and off the course since they’re lighter and don’t have sharp spikes. “The advantages in comfort and versatility are one of the reasons spikeless is so popular right now and a big reason why iconic sneakers are coming into golf,” said Denison.’ CodeChaos Spikeless Golf Shoes “CODECHAOS does it all and does it well. It’s a shoe that pushes the boundaries of design, aesthetics and technology,” said Denison. The Boost midsole will keep you light and comfortable on your feet over all 18 holes, and the outsole’s Twist Grip technology provides the surest footing on a spikeless shoe—not to mention plenty of style for the clubhouse. Which shoe is right for your game? All in all, you can’t go wrong with either shoe. With more spikeless golf shoes being designed like lifestyle sneakers, they are gaining popularity among casual golfers who crave comfort and personality in their golf outfits. But if strong traction in your swing is important to your game, spiked shoes are just as popular on the course, and are coming out with fresh designs that deliver just as much style so every golfer can look their best. But who said you had to choose? Add a pair of spiked and spikeless shoes to your collection to be able to switch based on the conditions and feel unstoppable on the fairway.
