Daniel Melançon, avid golfer and former sports columnist

As host for the TVA Sports web series, Golf Mag, Daniel Melançon has been travelling all over the globe playing some of the most iconic courses on the planet.

To say this is his dream job would be an understatement. “I don’t play often enough,” says Melançon. “And when I do, it never lasts as long as I’d like. Because golf is like air to me, I can’t live without it.”

To excel in golf, every decision must be carefully considered, because the smallest details matter. It’s all about consistency and precision. You also need to read the course and analyze the playing conditions, which are affected by countless external variables: winds, the slope of the terrain, the distance to be covered, to mention just a few.

To deal with these kinds of challenges, golfers need a combination of inner strength, perseverance and patience.

“Golf is not a game of perfect,“ quotes Melançon. “It’s one of my favourite mantras because this is a sport where perfection is impossible to achieve. All you can do is work on getting better and better.“

As an experienced golfer, he understands the importance of being well-equipped. “My ewool heated vest is a must-have in my golf bag,“ says Melançon. And that’s no surprise. The unparalleled heat keeps the body relaxed, resulting in more flexibility and smoother swings.

What’s more, the waterproof heating system adheres to the highest standards, so it stays dry and safe from the first swing to the last putt. This is essential for Melançon who would never let the weather stop him from enjoying the game.

Golf isn’t a sport, it’s a way of life.

Most golfers rise at the break of dawn to enjoy a full day on the links. At that hour, peace reigns. The only things you hear are the birds chirping and the wind blowing through the leaves. It’s the one sport you can play in total tranquillity.

In order to deliver optimal heating performance, ewool heated vests utilize the highest-quality materials. The fit is snug so it can be worn alone, under a golf jacket or windbreaker. And because the batteries are thin and lightweight, they never feel cumbersome or get in the way.

“It’s these kinds of intelligent, carefully-considered details that make all the difference,” explains Melançon. “The freedom of movement I enjoy is unbeatable.”
