Podcast: Tom Henze, Dagwood Golf (part 1)
Their fantastic photo blog couldn't be more aptly titled: The Soul of Golf. That pretty much says it all.
In the golf apparel world dominated by a few public megabrands, Tom Henze sees an opportunity to create and offer high quality, stylish products that serve to enrich one's golf experience. Hence Dagwood Golf, the young brand out of Berlin started by he and his wife, Anielle Crisanto.

Quotes##
"For me, a good product is not a product that has its most beautiful day in the first day you see it in the shop, but something that grows with you, becomes your own, and, if you take care of it, gets more beautiful with time" (3:39 mark)
"These days, [golf] products look as if they were all made in the same factory, and lack a traceable, understandable product history" (6:21 mark)
"If you want to bring new people to the sport, I think its important to give them a great experience- something that is beyond what they can find anywhere" (12:12 mark)
