Okay, so today I was trying to solve the NYT crossword, and I got totally stuck on one clue: “Golf apparel brand.” I was racking my brain, thinking of all the usual suspects, but nothing seemed to fit. It was driving me nuts!

First, I tried to fill in the letters I already had from other clues. I think I had a couple, but they weren’t helping much. I was like, “Is it a really short brand name? A really long one?” My mind was blank.
Searching
I spent a good few minutes just staring at the grid, hoping something would magically pop into my head. You know, that “aha!” moment? Didn’t *, I decided to take my chances and try a new method.
- I started by googling “popular golf apparel brands.”.
- And I looked at the images and found the logos,I was thinking, “Maybe I’ll recognize the logo, even if I don’t know the name.”
- I also tried searching “golf apparel brands list.”
I made a list to find the answer.
Then,I found there are some brands I’ve actually heard of, but they just weren’t coming to me in the moment. It was there that I saw it.
After realizing the answer, I put the answer into the crossword,.It fit perfectly! Such a relief. It’s funny how sometimes the most obvious answers are the hardest to see.
So, yeah, that was my little crossword adventure for the day. A small victory, but it felt good to finally crack that clue. I can finished the crossword finally!
