This week, men's professional golf heads to the Hamptons for the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills for the 125th playing of the event. It marks the 6th U.S. Open played at the course, with the last taking place in 2018, when Brooks Koepka went on to win.

Now, we won't know the winner until Sunday, but when the first players set sail on Thursday morning, you're going to see a lot of seaworthy pieces of gear on the course. Those with TaylorMade gear will be hoping for calm seas as they search the rolling hills for birdies.

Nautical golf club headcovers featuring a sailor, anchor, and ship's wheel on coiled rope.

One of the coolest—and likely most overlooked—detail is the on the side panels of the bag where the colorful signal flags running diagonally are pulled from the International Code of Signals, and spell out T-A-Y-L-O-R-M-A-D-E. What a great Easter egg by the TaylorMade designers.
