Latest Buy - Ping Golf Tour Umbrella

For all you golf umbrella aficionados, I recommend you the Ping Golf Tour Umbrella! 

1. It's nice and big - 68". Most umbrellas you get will be in the 60-62" diameter range.
2. The handle is nice and slim, and it can fit into the umbrella holder of your trolley.
3. The fabric is very nice and its a waterproof pongee fabric.
4,  It's a double canopy umbrella. It's a true double canopy. The inner layer is a full piece and the upper half is a mesh fabric to let the air through. Unlike some umbrellas where the fabric just overlaps a bit without any mesh or netting to the upper half of the inner sheath.
5. It's a cool square umbrella. I think it lasts longer. My Confidence Golf square umbrella(10+ years old) is still around, only that  it's a silver fabric umbrella and the silvery layer is flaking off.

Drawback
1. The point of the tip of the umbrella is rather large and looks very plasticky compared to the suave, cool, luxurious and sturdy material the rest of the umbrella is made of. So am worried it might get brittle in our climate and break off.

It's SRP is $80. Can get it at 15% off -$68. More if you arr with the shopkeep.
