Club Glove has long been the most recognized name when it comes to golf travel bags. They’re also among the most expensive bags out there? The question is, are they worth it? And if so, which one is right for you? More than that, is it worth also investing in their luggage to be able to take advantage of the TRS system while traveling? I answer all of these questions and more in this full review of the Club Glove golf travel bags and luggage for 2026. This page contains affiliate links. This means that if you click a link…

Two years ago, I spent three days at Sensei Porcupine Creek, and it ended up being one of the most memorable travel experiences I’ve ever had. Not just because of the golf. And not even just because of the setting. But because it was one of the first times I’d gone on a trip that was intentionally designed to actually make my life better when I got home. Fast forward to this year. I recently turned 41, and like a lot of people hitting their 40s, I’ve started thinking a lot more about longevity. Not in a vague, “I should…
Manele is a rare golf course. It shows up on all the lists. One of the most beautiful courses in the country. Consistently ranked as one of the two best courses in Hawaii. Top 200 in America. It has dramatic clifftop holes, including one of the most recognizable par 3s in the world. It’s the kind of place every golfer would love to play at least once. And yet, very few people I know actually have. Why? Because it’s both remote and expensive. Lānaʻi has a population of around 3,000 people, and the only real places to stay are the…
Save 5% off HackMotion with the code “BREAKINGEIGHTY5” I’ll be honest, I’m a little skeptical by nature when it comes to swing training aids. There are a lot of products out there that make big promises and don’t really deliver. So when HackMotion first crossed my radar, I wasn’t in a rush to jump on it. But here’s the thing about HackMotion: the underlying premise is hard to argue with. Your wrists are the only connection between your body and the club. They control the clubface. And the clubface controls everything. So if your wrist angles are off, at the…
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…
