Morning world,
It's Friday, congrats on making it to the end of the week. Welcome to all of the new subscibers to the Montes Collective Newsletter. Every Friday morning I drop an email into your inbox talking all things Montes Collective: golf, skate, surf, and snow. Got some good shit in this one for you, especially for those of you who purchased a Henley 2.0 and entered the giveaway for a BRAND NEW Taylormade Stealth Driver.
Giveaway Update, Details, and BOOSTER OPPORTUNITY
• Orders for the Henley and entries for the giveaway close on Monday, June 27 at 11:59 (PT). We've sold 29 henleys so far, so thank you!!!! Let's get to 50 and I'll maybe I'll throw out a lil somn' somn' ;)
• Every $1 spent (excluding shipping) counts as an entry into the giveaway. If you bought 1 henley, that means you have 60 chances at winning the Taylormade Stealth. If you bought 3 Henleys, you have 180 chances. Below is an opportunity for you to "up" your chances at winning.
• You can earn more entries into the giveaway for every referral you make (referral must make a purchase). If your referral ends up purchasing a Henley, you will earn 60 more entries into the giveaway (as if you purchased another one yourself). Your referral will also earn their entries for every $1 they spend. YOU HAVE UNTIL END OF DAY ON MONDAY, Good luck!!
The Golfer's Journal 20th Issue and Soft Opening of Metalwood Studio
Yesterday was Thursday, which is my golf day for the week. For yesterday's round we took our talents to Balboa Park GC located right outside of Downtown San Diego. If you haven't played here yet, it's an absolute gem, especially for the price. BPGC is the oldest municipal golf course in Southern California, built in 1915. You get a fun layout designed by William Bell and amazing views of the San Diego skyline.
Played a little match play against Abe! Abe was 1 up going into 18. On 18, he two-putted for 4 and took the W as I missed my birdie putt to bring the match to AS. GGs, Abe, but don't get used to it.
After the round, I met up with Jess and we drove up to LA for the soft opening of Metalwood Studio's new store on La Brea. We arrived around 8PM to a crowded store neighbored by your familiar streetwear brands in Stussy, Undefeated, and Stone Island. Fucking sick spot. As we walked in, we were greeted by Tim, who heads up Operations for The Golfer's Journal. There were YETI's full of beer courtesy of Golden Road Brewing. House music was blasting but barely audible over the chatter of multiple conversations going on throughout the store. The store was furnished with vintage golf clubs, and posters that honestly, only real golfers would understand and appreciate. It was dope for a golf nerd like me. I walked to the back of the store where Cole Young, Founder of Metalwood Studio, was re-gripping clubs for all people who showed up with their own club. Grips were provided by Golf Pride. I brought in my Titleist 909 F3 that's been in my bag since I was 14 hahaha. Got a freshie for freeeeee, thank you Metalwood Studio and Golf Pride!!
If you're in the LA area, go check this store out. They are doing great things for the culture. Golf culture needs some work lol. Last night was their soft opening but they will be officially open next Wednesday so show some love.

Thank you to everyone who has subscribed so far. I'd love to hear your feedback on these emails to see what you enjoy reading and what you skip over. Do you want more detail? Less? Do the pictures help?? I'm thinking of keeping a log of these on the website to open up conversation as well.
Hit 'em straight this weekend, y'all.
Cheers,
