Nike Golf continues to treat longtime and new fans of the sport to apparel, accessories, and footwear rooted in both performance and story-telling. The latest example arrives in the form of a Nike Victory Tour 4 Cleat inspired by the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Ga.

In comparison to the ‘prickly’ Roshe Golf 2 prepped for the Waste Management Phoenix Open, the newly-surfaced Victory Tour 4 opts for a tamer aesthetic. The leather upper keeps things simple in ‘White’ with profile swooshes interrupting with their ‘Black’ contrast. Support clips around the heel, however, up the ante with their pink all-over print: floral motifs take on the golf cleat’s medial mesh layers, nodding to the Masters Tournament’s location in the process.

Underfoot, Nike Golf’s latest footwear offering features a midsole system reminiscent of many Nike Running models from yesteryear. The cushioning solution is coupled with a semi-exposed FlyPlate (the same carbon fiber stiffening component found in the AlphaFly 3) and a reliable spike/cleat system. Together, each aforementioned component delivers top-notch performance in a stylish package for those hopeful of winning the tournament in Augusta (or one day competing in it).

Enjoy official photos of the golf cleats ahead. The pair should be priced at around $210–the same price as Nike’s Victory Tour 3.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – The Masters is getting closer, but the time to rent out your house is now.

After Hurricane Helene, homeowners across the CSRA are racing to finish up any repairs to their homes.

We spoke to two home rental companies here about how this year will look.

When you drive around the CSRA, you still see a city trying to recover and prepare for its biggest week of the year that’s only a few months away.

Despite what the city looks like today, rental companies say they’re doing everything they can to work with homeowners to make sure their homes are ready to go for patrons come April.

It’s the one week everyone wants to be in Augusta.

“People will always come to the Masters,” said Stacey Greenway, vice president of Tournament Housing and Events LLC. “No ticket will ever go unused.”

With the tournament only a few months away – everyone is trying to prepare.

“We have had some homeowners that are just overwhelmed with trying to get their home ready for Masters because they’re dealing with roofs that are, you know, have holes in them and the debris and all the outdoor structures are damaged,” said Kelly Starr, Corporate Quarters director of operations and events.

Homeowners, rental companies and contractors have a long to-do list before April.

“We all have to just accept that the scenery will be different in backyards. you know, houses that have privacy might not have that anymore,” said Greenway.

Changing the criteria for the outside of homes and asking for patience from golf patrons this spring.

“I’ve already prepared some of our clients that there might be some houses that have patches on their roofs,” said Greenway. “That’s not going to affect the patron’s comfort. That won’t affect their ability to watch the tournament.”

But they’re still doing everything they can to make sure their homes are ready.

“Our greatest concern is that come March, there’s going to be homeowners calling and saying, oops, I thought my contractor would be ready and they’re not going to be ready so we have to refund the money,” said Greenway.

Even if some homes aren’t ready, others are stepping up to rent that have never done it before – even as far out as Aiken and Lake Oconee.

“We do have some people registering saying, you know, I know there’s a lot of houses out there that are damaged. We have never rented before and now we think this could be our opportunity to get in there,” said Greenway.

Even though the way the city looks might be different, the community and hospitality are still the same.

“I really think it’s a true testament to Georgia and Augusta and everyone wants to be very hospitable,” said Starr. “That’s why they call it southern hospitality. They’re excited to get their homes ready and have something to look forward to.”

They say they don’t expect to have to rent out as far out as Lake Oconee and Modoc because of the number of new houses being built and the increase of new people wanting to rent in Augusta, but it’s good to know that it’s an option if needed.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – The Greater Augusta Arts Council announced Monday that 51 local artists received hurricane relief micro-grants through the C.R.E.A.T.I.V.E. Grant initiative.

Micro-grants of $500 to $1,000 were distributed to support costs associated with replacing supplies or a lost gig during this time.

The $30,000 fund with money supplied by the Augusta Foundation for the Arts was initially designated to support the Greater Augusta Arts Council programming and operations.

“Recognizing the urgent needs in the creative community following the hurricane, the Arts Council made the decision to reallocate operational funds,” the council said.

“This isn’t the first time we’ve supported artists through re-granting, but it is the first time we’ve done so with funds originally intended to meet our own organizational needs,” council Executive Director Denise Tucker said.

The micro-grants were distributed on a first-come, first-served basis and ranked according to need.

Applications were reviewed by an independent panel and disbursed on a rolling basis until the funds were fully allocated.

The council also held a post-Helene arts supply drive to aid artists of many different genres with replacement supplies.
