I just got back from Bandon Dunes, where the very first thing the caddie does after you meet them is try to make the golf bag you brought as light as possible. Man, how they would have loved me if I had shown up with the new Sunday Golf El Camino Superlite. To be clear, I didn’t arrive at Bandon with anything unreasonable. I brought a Ping Hoofer loaded with 14 clubs—a very standard setup. As far as full-size carry bags go, the Hoofer is actually one of the more manageable options. Empty, it weighs just 5.5 pounds. But that…

Look, when I first heard about the Stix Nicklaus Collection, I wasn’t exactly fired up. Not because I don’t respect the Golden Bear. Quite the opposite. Jack Nicklaus is arguably the greatest to ever play the game, and his name deserves all the reverence it gets. And it wasn’t because I don’t respect Stix. Again, totally opposite. They’ve legitimized what used to be the impossible prospect of a beginner set of golf clubs actually being of high enough quality to be taken seriously. My hesitation came from a different place. I’d seen these clubs before. Literally. I had. Because when…

I’ll be honest. When I first heard about the Pinned Prism+, my expectations weren’t exactly sky-high. That’s not a knock on Pinned the brand. Actually, when I look at their whole approach to golf—fun, stylish, modern gear at prices that don’t make your wallet cry—I’m pulling for them. Their thing is bringing personality to golf tech. And what’s wrong with that? But at the end of the day, good looks and fashion sense only get you so far. I assumed the Prism+ was going to be one of these “style over substance” products. A cool design, a couple of clever…

A golf simulator setup is a big investment, and every component plays a role in how well it works. While it’s easy to focus on the flashy parts—like your launch monitor or projector—there’s one piece that is equally critical but often overlooked: the hitting mat. This humble piece of turf is more than just a surface to hit from. It can determine how accurate your data is, how realistic your practice feels, and how long you can play without risking injury. Not all golf mats are created equal, and the differences between them can be dramatic. Size, price, material, and…

I’ll admit, I was initially a bit shy about adding an electric caddie to my walking rounds of golf. For one thing, they cost a lot. And for another, they attract attention. But then I played a few rounds with an electric caddie. And there was no going back. Until you’ve experienced hands-free walking, you don’t know how good golf can get. An electric caddie provides almost all of the benefits of a human caddie, but you only have to pay one time. As for the cost, yeah, these things can be pricey. But for the luxury and usefulness that…

When I think of Sun Mountain, I think of innovation, durability, and value. That’s been their calling card with a steady evolution of mostly stand bags and push carts. They aim to serve the golfer who wants a product that’s cutting-edge and built to last but who doesn’t want to shell out for the ultra-high-end more prestigious brands. So what about their new Ridgeline 3 golf push cart? Does it hold the Sun Mountain line as another innovative, durable, value-driven product? Well, first off, the Ridgeline 3 is the first golf push cart with a fully adjustable bag bracket, meaning…

Playing golf with the MGI Ai Navigator GPS+ electric golf caddie is a next-level experience. In fact, for some people, it might even be better than playing with your own personal human caddie. Obviously, the Ai Navigator GPS+ carries your clubs for you. But you already knew that. It’s an electric golf caddie after all. The kind that’s battery-powered and remote-controlled. That alone is a golf luxury you’ve got to experience to fully appreciate. What makes this product so next-level and different from other electric caddies is that it not only does the heavy lifting, it also gives you your…

If you’re anything like me, you’ve got some serious room for improvement when it comes to fitness. In fact, if you’re like me, golf is about your only consistent exercise. Which is why I (and maybe you) find the GolfForever program so intriguing. It’s one thing to work out regularly. And for as much as I want to do that, I typically make every excuse in the book as to why I can’t stick to a routine. Time is my favorite go-to reason. And golf is a huge part of where all that time goes. But a golf workout program?…

The Ghost Golf GT-14 is an exceptionally high-quality, premium golf cart bag. I’m leading with that because a lot of the other things I have to say about this bag might be obvious to you just by looking at it. Mostly, that it’s what some people might consider a bit “loud” looking. Or, at the very least, unique looking. To me, those are the two most salient points about this golf bag: It’s very high quality and, because of its looks, it’s going to stand out. Those two things combined make for what I think is a very interesting product.…

By now, you’ve likely seen an electric golf caddie in action. You may have even noticed more and more of them in use at your local course. And they look pretty sweet, right? I mean, what’s not to love about hands-free walking on the golf course? It’s like playing with a lot of the benefits of a human caddie, except you don’t have to tip anybody when the round is over. If you love to walk, you’ve probably at least considered or are already using a golf push cart. And if you’ve reached that stage in your golf evolution, you’ve…
