Let’s face it, practicing putting is kind of boring. Even if we know logically that grinding away on 6 foot putts is the most likely thing to lower our scores – that doesn’t make it any more enjoyable. It’s too bad, considering it’s a lot easier to practice putts than any other aspect of your golf game. Living room, bedroom, backyard – you can kind of do it anywhere. Especially if you had a good golf putting mat. But even still – boring. What if there were a product that could not only make practice more fun, but make it…

I’ve said it many times before, but in my opinion, the G/FORE Gallivanters are the best looking shoe in golf. The blend of traditional styling and modern flair is second to none. But one of the only major complaints that I’ve heard about this shoe is that they don’t have removable spikes. Well, if you’re one of the people concerned about this, worry no more: the Gallivanter G/LOCK is here. But how do the new G/LOCK models compare to the original? Or what about the also brand new G/FORE Gallivan2r? Which ones should you buy? In this G/FORE Gallivanter G/LOCK…

To say that 2023 was a good golf travel year would be selling it short. 2023 was arguably the best travel year I’ve ever had. Not only did a see a few dozen new amazing courses, but I got the chance to visit old favorites like Merion, Bandon Dunes, Quaker Ridge, Baltusrol, and many more. But to properly tie a bow on the year, I wanted to do a recap of the 10 best new golf courses I played. Watch the video for the full list. Here’s more about some of the places I mention in the video: Why Kohanaiki…

For years the PGA Show felt like it was almost slipping into obscurity. From the first time I went in 2016, each subsequent year felt a little bit smaller. Attending in 2020, it felt like it was half the size as it was when I first started attending. But good news. The 2024 PGA Show felt as big as ever. There was a ton of energy, excitement, and of course, sweet new golf products. In this video, I share 11 of the most exciting things I saw, from 11 of my favorite brands. Here are the featured companies: FlightScope Precision…

I think the G/FORE Gallivanter is the best-looking shoe in golf. Period. It’s gorgeous. Pebbled leather, and a classic silhouette with bold colorways and high-end design – it was one of my biggest surprises of last year. Mostly because I never felt like I was a good enough golfer to pull them off. And while that may be true, they inspired confidence every time I wore them. But you know what was even more of a surprise last year? How much I loved the MG4+ shoes. While they’re very good looking, it was their comfort and performance that won me…

Every year I go to the PGA Show in Orlando. It’s exciting, exhausting, engaging, and draining – simply put the whole week is a whirlwind. It’s always great to see old friends and discover new products, but the whole experience can be a bit overwhelming. If you’ve never been, the PGA Show is at the Orange County Convention Center right on International Drive. The primary hotel for well-heeled attendees is the Hyatt Regency. Its a large resort that’s located directly across the street from the convention center, and is very much a “scene” when it comes to the show. For…

This post was originally published in April 2014, and updated in February 2024 for accuracy and to compare to some of the best new putting mats that have been released. I don’t know what it is about the SKLZ Accelerator Pro Putting Mat, but I’ve received numerous emails from readers asking if I’ve had any experience with it. I hadn’t, but based on all of the interest I figured I’d better pick one up and give it a shot! The timing worked out pretty well as this last week I moved from a 485 foot square foot condo to a…

There is so much I could write about Sunriver, Oregon, that I’m almost not even sure where to begin. Sunriver is a resort destination in Central Oregon, about 15 minutes outside of Bend. If you don’t live in the Pacific Northwest there’s a good chance you’ve never heard of Sunriver – and I think it’s about time we change that. I’ve been to nearly every major golf resort in Oregon. Bandon, Pronghorn, Tetherow, Silvies – the list goes on. Hands down, there simply isn’t a place with more to do than Sunriver Resort. If you’re a diehard golfer, then obviously…

So you’re considering buying a golf launch monitor. Good idea. With all the advances in tech right now, it’s finally financially feasible for the average person to get legitimate data on their game. But if you pull the trigger on a purchase, do you really know how to use a golf launch monitor? Like, do you understand what all of the data points these things spit out mean? Will you be able to interpret the numbers in a way that will actually helps you improve your golf game? That’s what we’re getting into today. Because beyond the marketing and advertising…

After a couple years without any major updates to their signature SL2 golf bag, over the last few months we’ve seen two major releases from Stitch. The first is the modular SL2 MIY golf bag, which did a pretty major redesign of their iconic SL2 and introduced the ability to switch out components to provide different colors and functionality. A few months after that, Stitch released the SL2 Air Walker – the bag we’re talking about today. It uses the same design language of the new MIY bag, doesn’t have the modular component, but uses lighter materials than any other…
