If you’re someone who loves to travel for golf, or you happen to be a resident of Denver, well then today is your lucky day. Dream Golf Resorts has just announced the latest resort in their portfolio: Rodeo Dunes. This marks one of the largest-scale golf resorts to be announced and built in the last decade, and it’s made all the more interesting by its remote location outside of Denver, Colorado. Trying to learn more about Rodeo Dunes? Let’s jump into everything we know. https://youtu.be/y7ldQY1G0vo What is Rodeo Dunes Golf Resort?

This Bushnell Tour V5 review was initially published in June 2020. It has been updated in April 2023 to provide details on the new V6 model as well as to make updates about where the V5 currently sits amidst the competition in the golf rangefinder market. Obviously, I get a lot of products sent to me for review. But there are few that I was excited about as the new Bushnell Tour V5 rangefinder. I’m probably more familiar with Bushnell devices than any other golf product on the market. I’ve reviewed nearly every one since the Tour V3 came out…
Over the last 5 years, there are few golf companies that have niched down as well as Sunday Golf has. Rather than trying to do much, they focused on doing one thing really well: Sunday bags. Aka, a smaller golf bag that’s meant to easily carry fewer than a full set of clubs. They first launched with the svelte Loma Bag. Then they released the more full-featured Sunday bag, the El Camino. With the success of the brand, it was only a matter of time before they created a full-sized offering. Introducing, the Sunday Golf Ryder Bag – the first…
I’m not sure there’s a golf product of any kind that’s more appropriately named than Callaway’s Supersoft golf balls. Specifically, on and around the green, these golf balls are just, well… soft. Like really, noticeably soft. Supersoft, you might say. Does that make them awesome? Not necessarily. I’m not sure choosing a golf ball based solely on how it feels off your wedge or putter makes a lot of sense. But for the right golfer, there’s more here to like than just the softness. There’s distance, potential reduction of slices and hooks and help with getting the ball elevated. Oh…
Over the years I’ve reviewed dozens of golf products on this blog. Some of them are fantastic, and others, well, not so much. But even great products don’t necessarily find their way into my day to day rotation of clothes, equipment, tech and accessories. I’m often asked the question “what’s the best this, or what’s the best that?” And frankly, my best indicator for that is do I still use it? So in today’s post, I wanted to share the products that I’ve continued to use long after reviewing them. In many cases, there are still a ton of great options…
Let’s not beat around the bush, the Vessel Player III is my personal favorite golf bag of all time. It’s made of extremely high-quality materials, it looks sleek and modern, and for my personal needs, it’s about as functional as it gets. I’ve taken my Player III to numerous states, and even carried it halfway across Australia. Guess what? It still performs like the day I first got it. But its days may be numbered. The bag that has gotten so much use will likely be relegated to an office closet and only brought out for the Uoccasional photo shoot…
Updated in March 2023 to add comparison video to other shot trackers. When looking at the best golf swing sensors on the market, I’ve continued to get asked one question over and over: how do the Garmin CT10 sensors stack up against products like Arccos Caddie or the Shot Scope V3. And unfortunately, I never had a solid answer, as I hadn’t used the Garmin product yet. Now that’s changed. This past month I’ve been testing out a basic set of CT10 sensors on my recently reviewed Stix Golf Clubs. I’ve got it paired with a Garmin S62 golf watch…
To properly introduce deWiz Golf, I first need to tell you a story. Close to a decade ago, my friend Maneesh Sethi told me about an idea he had for a wearable device. The concept was to use Pavlov’s theory of classical conditioning to help you break bad habits. In short, let’s say you wanted to quit smoking. This device would ask you to push a button every time you had a craving. And then it would beep, vibrate, or actually shock you when pushed. In time, it would even be developed so that when you moved your hand to…
Updated March of 2023 to reflect new name and new pricing. One of my all-time favorite golf shoes was also one of the most unexpected: the Nike Flyknit Racer G. I’ve owned 4 pairs of the standard Flyknit Racers, so when they turned it into a golf shoe, it became a no-brainer. However, Nike only made it for a season or two before they moved on to turning other well-known models into golf shoes. So for the person that loves the idea of a knit shoe, and wants something that’s lightweight, comfortable, and looks good – what do you do? Well,…
I started traveling for golf in 2013. And ever since that time there’s a course that’s been on my personal bucket list: New South Wales Golf Club in Sydney, Australia. I mean, an Alister MacKenzie design set within a national park on the Australian coast? If that’s not a recipe for a memorable golf course, I’m not sure what is. Well in an unexpected turn of events, my dream finally came true last week. Every 5 years my wife gets a 6 week sabbatical from work. She’s forced to take the time off, so we always try and make the…
