Sunday golf bags have been around forever. No not the company, but the idea of a smaller golf bag, for a smaller set of clubs. Aka, a “Sunday bag.” It was only a matter of time before someone smart came along and built a whole brand around the idea of the Sunday bag – insert, the aptly named Sunday Golf! The team over there has been cool enough to hook up Breaking Eighty readers with a coupon code to make picking up your Sunday bag even more of a no-brainer. Use the code “EIGHTY15” to save 15% off anything in…

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…

Over the past year or so I’ve started doing a lot more traveling with golf clubs. And we’re not talking throw them in the back of the car and head out for a long weekend a few hours away. Since I started this top 100 quest I’ve been flying all over the world playing top 100 golf clubs – and I needed a golf travel bag that would live up to the constant abuse I’ve been throwing at it. Up until recently, I’d been using the Tour Trek GTS 3 bag, which I bought before my first trip last year.…

About 5 years ago I decided to get more serious about my sleep health. I ended up investing in the Ooler Sleep System by Sleep.Me, and I used it every night for 3 years. Overall, I had a good experience with it. Sure it never quite got as cold as I wanted it to, there’s been some reliability issues, and it’s a little louder than I’d prefer – but it did a pretty good job of helping aid my sleep. About two years ago, I started hearing more and more about the Eight Sleep System. I’d been considering upgrading my…

Is the FlightScope Mevo Plus truly a champagne launch monitor on a beer budget? The answer might surprise you.

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…

When it comes to value in golf clubs, Stix continues to be at the top of the heap. To get a (mostly) full set of clubs and a bag for under $1,000? That’s not hard to find. But to get ones that perform at a level far beyond their price? That’s a rarity. And that’s exactly what Stix has done with their Perform series of clubs. But for as good as those sets are, there’s always room for improvement. Earlier this year I got a chance to review their Compete Driver, and something crazy happened. It’s so good, I’ve left…

As golfers, we’re getting spoiled for choice as technology trickles down to make launch monitors and simulators more affordable than they’ve ever been. In the last couple of years we’ve seen some wonderful products under $1,000. The Rapsodo MLM2PRo, the Garmin Approach R10, and the FlightScope Mevo. All of them are accurate enough to be useful tools and make your practice sessions more fun. Recently, Swing Caddie released their new entry to the market: the SC4 launch monitor and simulator. On paper? It might represent the best bang for the buck out of anything under $1,000. It has a built-in…
