I’ve been wearing Ecco golf shoes for a long time. The Biom Hybrid 2s. The Cage Pro. The Biom Hybrid 3 — which I called the best golf shoe I’d ever owned. And then the Ecco Biom C4, which somehow managed to top that. The C4 logged dozens of rounds with me and never let me down. Honestly, it held the title of most comfortable golf shoe I’d ever put on my feet for years. But that was then. The golf shoe market has exploded since I reviewed the C4. G/FORE has been getting most of my wear time lately.…

Is it the best golf tech product on the market? It very well might be.

Of all the products announced at the 2026 PGA Show, there was one that flew under the radar for most people, that I was secretly really excited about: the Blue Tees Captain Pro rangefinder. Why was I so excited? Because on paper, it had nearly all of the things “my perfect” rangefinder would have: 7x optics IPX67 rating (waterproof and dust proof) Dual color OLED display GPS Features Reliable Pin Vibration Under $300 There are probably a couple of other features I’m missing, but my thought is that if you create that rangefinder, at that price, then you’re going to…

I honestly feel a little guilty writing this post. A few weeks ago, at the end of my trip to Nauka Golf Club in Mexico, I was chatting with one of the members — a name you’d definitely recognize if I told you, which I won’t. He pulled me aside and said something I haven’t been able to shake: “Please don’t spoil this place. I’m hoping to get at least a couple more years of it like this.” I get it. I really do. But here’s the thing about running a golf blog for over a decade: occasionally, it takes…

It’s been two years since Jones released an all-new bag. And I’ve definitely been waiting for this one. Their last release was the Rover, which is one of the best walking bags I’ve ever used. So when the Utility X landed on my doorstep, I had high expectations. Now, after spending real time with it on the course, I can say that this is the most refined Jones bag I’ve ever used. Whether or not it’s the best Jones bag… Well, that depends entirely on how you play. Let me explain. What Kind of Bag is the Jones Utility X,…

I’ll be honest with you. When someone first asked me if I wanted to test the Volvik Vivid Twilight golf balls, my immediate thought was: total gimmick. Glow in the dark golf balls? I already knew what those usually are — glorified rocks with a novelty paint job. And beyond that, I’m just not out playing golf in the middle of the night. So these sat in my office for the better part of two months collecting dust while I convinced myself I’d never actually have a reason to crack them open. Until I had two reasons. And now I’m…

I’ve been lucky enough to attend the Masters three times in my life. The first trip I attended a Friday round and had an incredible time. I likened it to being Disneyland for adults – however on my second trip, while still having amusement park-esque features, I realized it was probably more like Las Vegas than Disneyland. Let me explain. In Vegas people three steps away from broke are casually rubbing elbows with others wearing $50k watches. The Masters is no different. A lot of local Augusta residents have had tickets passed down in their family for generations, so it’s…

I’m a diehard Arccos fan. I’ve played over 400 rounds with it, and it’s one of my favorite products in golf — full stop. So anytime there’s a new Arccos component, I get excited. The recently released Smart Laser has genuinely improved my experience, since it’s made setting the pins so much easier. But with Arccos Air, I was a bit more skeptical. It’s essentially everything we know and love about Arccos — but without having to have sensors on your clubs. Sounds pretty good! But the question is, how well does it actually work? How does it know what…

Alright, it’s 2026, and the dream of having a full-blown indoor golf simulator setup in your home has gone from wild fantasy to what-are-you-waiting-for reality. So, what are you waiting for? Well, one thing could be trying to figure out which golf launch monitor is right to pull this all off. Because the reality is that not every device available in 2026 is designed to work well indoors or to work with golf simulator software that’s going to make your vision of realistic, immersive indoor golf a reality. The launch monitors on this list are the ones I think make…

When Shot Scope announced the LM1 at the 2026 PGA Show, the golf internet did what it always does: got extremely excited, then extremely skeptical, then kind of forgot about it until it actually shipped. But I didn’t forget about it. Because a $199 launch monitor with no subscription fees, a built-in color screen, and Shot Scope’s ecosystem behind it? That’s not something you ignore. Now I’ve had it in my hands for a couple of weeks and done a lot of testing. And here’s the thing: the hype is mostly justified. Mostly. But to be very clear: if you…
