Shooting lower scores on the golf courses isn’t that hard. We all inherently know what to do if we want to go low, yet very few of us actually do it. What is it? Improve our putting. It’s kind of wild that the thing that can lower our scores the fastest, is also one of the easiest things to practice. You don’t need a range. You don’t need a ton of space to swing a golf club. You just need a few feet in your living room. But that’s not nearly as sexy (or as much fun) as say, buying a new driver. But there…

What a time for a golf junkie to be alive. Seriously, just consider for a minute how much golf information is available for our consumption 24/7/365. It’s non-stop. We’ve got around-the-clock television coverage, a dedicated satellite radio channel, an uncountable number of websites, magazines, books, newsletters, and yes, podcasts. That’s what we’re going to get into today — the best golf podcasts of 2025. Why do we need such a list? Because there are literally hundreds of active golf podcasts that have multiple episodes. But like anything that expansive, there’s a lot of so-so content out there. So, we’ve checked…
The putter is golf’s great equalizer. For all of the intimidation of a brutally long hole, a forced carry over water into the wind, or a short-sided chip shot, more often than not it’s the final few feet on the putting green that have the biggest impact on a golfer’s scorecard. An otherwise skilled player can be rendered entirely noncompetitive if they can’t putt. And conversely, a golfer who plods around the course hitting nothing but duffs and wormburners but who regularly catches fire with the flatstick can score far better than the eye test would ever predict. There’s a…
Of all the rabbit holes I’ve gone down over the past year, none of been quite as deep or all-encompassing as my newly found relationship with Garmin. I’ve used Garmin products like their Approach R10 launch monitor and Z82 Rangefinder for years. I’ve even reviewed watches like the Approach S42 and the fantastic S62. But for as good as all of those products are, none of them were life-changing for me. Life-changing, that’s a bold statement. I review golf products, nothing should really be life changing. But when I first used the Approach S70 watch – I found myself wanting to…

When the Garmin Approach R10 came out in 2021 it was sold out for months. It was arguably the biggest golf tech release of the year, as it was the first portable launch monitor to provide simulator features (well) under $1,000. It offers so much, that nearly 4 years later, it’s still one of the best products in its class. But after the success of the R10, rumors started swirling that Garmin was working on a much more high-end sibling. I’ve heard rumblings for years, but no one seemed to know if 1) this product actually existed or 2) what…
The last time I got properly fit for irons, I was fit for the Mizuno JPX-900 Forged. And I’ve primarily been gaming them ever since. A couple months ago, that changed when I went in and did a fitting for the new PXG 0311 Gen 7 irons. The process was super smooth, and when compared to the O311p or new Black Ops, the results were clear, the best PXG Irons for my game were the Gen 7 0311xp. But do they live up to expectations? I’ve now played 7 full rounds of golf with these new irons, and had numerous…
Over the last decade we’ve seen a number of completely new categories pop up for golf products. Game tracking systems like Arccos or Shotscope… Golf GPS Speakers like the Wingman View or Blue Tees Player… But one of the most unique new categories is also one that has the potential to have the greatest impact on how you experience golf. What is it? The remote caddie. https://youtu.be/2KJqh4qXFZQ You could also call it an electric push cart, follow cart, or any number of other terms, but essentially these are remote-controlled push carts that allow you to essentially walk the course hands-free…
