The name

Gorse flowers in every season.

It is the thorny yellow shrub that lines the great links, the blaze of colour you skirt off the tee from Ayrshire to the west of Ireland. It grows where nothing else bothers to: sand, salt, wind off the sea, blooming in nearly every month of the year.

Gorse is clothing that’s always in season: good in any weather, worn well past the year you bought it, on the course and off.

Fairways lined with gorse in full yellow bloom, mountains rising behind.

The bloom, month by month. Never fully out of flower.

The plant has been part of the game since before the brands were. In 1879 the Encyclopaedia Britannica asked that a proper links come “provided, in addition, with a fair supply of gorse or whin.”

When gorse is out of bloom, kissing is out of season.
