Cabot Cape Breton is not only one of the most beautiful golf destinations I’ve been, it also features some of the best golf I’ve ever played. You can’t ask for much more than that. Expect a written version of this video soon, but in the meantime, watch to see what it’s like to visit Cabot for the first time. Here’s more from some of my favorite golf resorts.

I started reviewing golf products here at Breaking Eighty in 2012. I’ve spent 13 years becoming one of the most trusted people in golf when it comes to giving my honest take on the golf products I test. Obviously, during that time, I’ve built some great relationships with brands as well. Something I’ve appreciated about (most) of the brands I work with, is that they give me the space to be able to say what I really think. Very rarely (if ever) is there a product review where I don’t say something negative. Because let’s face it, no product is…
For a while there, I’d always be surprised when I reviewed a set of Stix clubs, and they were actually good. But after using them regularly for years? I’m sold. Stix is legit. For the last few years, they’ve been an easy recommendation to friends or golfers who are looking for their first set, or perhaps their first real set after falling in love with the game. So I’m not surprised at all that this new Compete set, geared towards the better golfer, turned out to be very, very good golf irons. But what did surprise me? Just how good…
Choosing the right set of irons is one of the most critical decisions a golfer can make. Drivers, putters and wedges are the most celebrated, cursed, and discussed. They tend to get a lot of the attention – not to mention marketing dollars. But your irons are to your golf game what your engine is to your car. They may not be the first thing you see, but good luck getting where you’re going on the golf course without the right ones. Your irons are the most versatile clubs in your bag. And like popping the hood on an automobile,…
When Justin Rose won the FedEx St. Jude Championship wearing a pair of golf shoes from a brand he’s not even sponsored by, people noticed. Those shoes? The Payntr Golf X Tour Proto RS. And if a major champion who can literally wear any shoe he wants chooses to put these into play for one of the biggest events of the year, that should tell you something about their quality. Payntr has always approached footwear differently than most golf brands. They don’t just make shoes, they make performance tools. Every element, from carbon fiber foot plates to nitrogen-infused soles, is…
I’m a pretty casual dude, so the fact that hoodies are starting to be cool to wear on the golf course? I’m all for it. Yes, there will be purists who think that’s sacrilege, and I understand their point of view. But here’s the thing: most golfers I know aren’t spending their entire day at the country club. We’re fitting in rounds between work, the gym, and life. Why not wear something that works for all of it? Unlike polos or quarter-zips, hoodies are having a real moment right now, and golf brands are finally making them performance-ready without sacrificing…
Bushnell has been making rangefinders forever. If you’ve played even a few rounds of golf, you’ve probably seen one hanging off a cart. They’re everywhere. And for good reason. Bushnell makes a durable, reliable, fast, and accurate rangefinder. Always has. But the Bushnell Tour Hybrid takes things a step further. It’s part laser, part GPS — a mash-up that’s designed to give you the best of both worlds. You get the pinpoint accuracy of a laser plus the hole-overview info of a GPS device. That combo, which is built right into the viewfinder itself, might make the Tour Hybrid the…

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. To get it, you simply have to click this link.…
Ever since I first tried out Stix Golf clubs I’ve been a fan. Simply put, I think they make the best full set of golf clubs for the beginning golfer. I have close friends who are just getting into golf, and want a set they can grow into. I told them to buy Stix. The team over there has also been cool enough to hook Breaking Eighty readers up with a Stix discount code. Use the code “BE50” to save $50 off your next order of Stix Clubs. They’ve really built out their lineup, so you can get a starter…
