Choosing the best golf wedges for your game is a very personal thing. Your wedges by far give you the greatest opportunity to be creative on the golf course. Flight it high way over a tree limb? Keep it low and get it to check. Flop, chip, pitch? Having a wedge that inspires confidence and fits the type of player you are is one of the single best tools you can have in your golf arsenal. After all, they’re called the “scoring clubs” for a reason. Today, we’re going to help you figure out the right wedges for your individual game.…

I play a lot of golf with a lot of different types of players. And from what I can observe, fairway woods, more than any other type of golf club, cause the most second-guessing for the biggest variety of golfers. Sure, many of us struggle with our driver. But almost all of us continue to bash away without any second thought. It may not be working great, but we generally don’t bother to consider an alternative option on most Par 4 and 5 tee boxes. And when we do? That’s right: It’s a fairway wood. And, yes, a lot of…
A couple years ago when Swing Caddie released the SC4 launch monitor, it became the only sub $500 launch monitor that included a built-in screen, a remote, and e6 simulator capabilities. Considering you can now pick up that device for $389, it’s easily one of the best launch monitor values out there at any price point. But it has one fatal flaw: the app is terrible. There have been some minor improvements since it was released, but the MySwingCaddie app is just not very good. It’s not very intuitive, the data isn’t great, and both Garmin and Rapsodo do a much…
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…
