I’ve been saying since 2014 that Arccos Caddie is hands down the best overall golf product out there. There’s simply nothing else out there that can give you the statistics, feedback, and on course information that Arccos can. I’ve played well over 300 rounds with it, and being able to not only figure out what I need to work on, but to also be able to review every shot from my travels is pretty cool. Arccos has been kind enough to hook up Breaking Eighty readers with a 15% off coupon code. Use the code “BE15” to save 15% on anything they…

It’s 2026, and the golf rangefinder market looks nothing like it did when I started reviewing them. GPS is seemingly baked into everything now. Smart rangefinders pair with an app and hand you club recommendations right in the viewfinder. Watches talk to lasers, lasers talk to launch monitors, and everybody’s chasing the same “smart ecosystem” story. So when I sat down to think about whether the Voice Caddie TL1 was still worth talking about in 2026, the honest question was: does a rangefinder that just does one thing really well still have a place in a market full of devices…

Over the last 4 years I’ve played over 150 rounds with Vessel golf bags. The Player III is one of my all-time favorites. More recently I switched off between the Player IV and Player IV Pro DXR. Then there was the Player Air (until one of its legs got snapped off, thanks Delta…). Needless to say, any time a new bag comes out in their hallmark “Player” series, I get excited. When my new navy blue Player V Pro arrived, I was thrilled. Everything about it looks and feels like models of the past, but with some very smart upgrades…

Four years ago I’d barely heard of Reynolds Lake Oconee. Since then, I’ve visited 3 times and I count it as one of my favorite golf destinations in the country. I mean, there’s just so much to like. There are 7 golf courses that each provide a distinctly different playing experience. The Ritz Carlton Lake Oconee is one of the most unique resort hotels in the country with its beautiful lakeside setting. And if you’re lucky enough to be a Reynolds Platinum Member, you get access to insane amenities, the over-the-top Creek Club – and now, the brand-new Richland Course.…

When it comes to golf rangefinders, it’s rare that I see something that’s entirely different than anything on the market. But that’s exactly what you get with the Voice Caddie SL3 rangefinder. We’ve seen GPS “Smart Rangefinders” before. On the lower end, there was the ill-fated Precision Pro R1. Then there’s the most high-tech rangefinder out there, the Garmin Approach Z82. The SL3 is aiming squarely at the latter. It has many of the same high-tech features as the Garmin, but it takes a bit of a different approach. Rather than building all of it’s GPS data into the viewfinder…

For the first 10 years of my golf travel, I used a Club Glove Last Bag for all of my trips. It’s been on dozens of flights, to 14 countries, and is still in fantastic shape given the beating I’ve put it through. But it’s not perfect. It’s a little small, and it can be a bit cumbersome to haul through airports and into hotels. A couple of years back I picked up the Sun Mountain Club Glider Meridian, and it’s been my go-to travel bag ever since thanks to a genuinely unique wheel system that pops out and makes…

For the past year, I’ve heard countless stories about how a L.A.B. (Lie Angle Balanced) Putter is a cheat code for golf. Every single person I know who plays with one swears by it, and has said it’s made a night and day difference in their golf game. But it wasn’t until recently that I was actually able to pick one up and put it through its paces. The result? The hype for this new type of putter may just be real. In this review I’m going to give a full review of the new LAB Golf DF3 putter, tell…

This is going to be tough to admit, but here it goes: I’m getting old. For the last five years or so I’ve made comments about how “I really need to start stretching more.” Or “I should work on my posture to avoid back problems later on.” And for the duration of those five years, I’ve promptly ignored all of the advice I’ve continued to give myself on the topic. This year, however, things are different. Since having my first kid a couple years ago, I’ve noticed some fairly significant back pain. I don’t know if it’s due to carrying…

One of the biggest questions I get when it comes to launch monitors is which is better between the FlightScope Mevo Plus and the Rapsodo MLM2PRO. Both are kind of the best in their respective price points, but often the question is “Is it worth spending more money to get the Mevo Plus?” The answer? It depends. In this comparison, we’ll go over the differences between the two, and help you decide which one is a better fit for your specific needs. How We’re Doing This Comparison When comparing the FlightScope Mevo Plus and the Rapsodo MLM2PRO, we broke down…
