The USGA dropped a fun new feature in its GHIN app this week: A handicap “rewind”. It’s exactly what it says: It shows how golfers fared over the 2023 season. What their handicap started the year, where it ended, and the journey it took along the way. With handicap rewinds popping up everywhere on social Read more…
Rickie Fowler and Butch Harmon have had a long, successful career together. After a brief interlude, the pair re-joined forces last year, and the move catapulted Fowler back into the winners circle for the first time since 2019. In honor of longtime No. 1-ranked teacher Butch Harman being inducted onto Golf Digest’s Legends of Golf Read more…
These two key terms have probably popped up somewhere along your golf journey. Understand them both, and you’ll better understand how your equipment can help your game.
One of the great things about the PGA Show is that it’s not just a place where cool and interesting new products. It’s a place where the wider golf world can come together and exchange ideas about how to play better golf. During a busy week looking around at the latest and greatest golf products Read more…
Perhaps my favorite trend in the soft goods side of the golf industry in recent years is the rise of custom and handmade golf headcovers. Any time I see a cool one I get an itch to add another one on the bag. So on site at the 2024 PGA Show, a quick pit stop Read more…
A random video went viral on the nerdier side of the golf Internet last week which was both unintentionally funny and fascinating. There’s a lot golfers can learn from it — even though the video has nothing to do with golf. I don’t know about you, but whatever social media algorithm I’m on has gotten Read more…
Every golfer’s swing has a signature move, and Tommy Fleetwood’s is his follow through. It’s kinda short, a little punchy, and looks a bit like Tin Cup’s unfinished swing. Tommy’s always-balanced follow through is the end result of his golf swing but to learn from one of the best ball strikers in the game, we Read more…
On Tuesday, Faxon was on the ground at the PGA Show to help promote the launch of Titleist’s new SM10 line of Vokey wedges with a short-game clinic. He was peppered with questions throughout, including one about his short game advice for older golfers.
Among the (many) exciting things about Dunlap contending at the American Express is that he’s the latest in a growing class of up-and-coming talents who have learned the game with advanced technology fuelling better understanding about the golf swing than ever before.
Over the past year I’ve come to the rather upsetting realization that I’m a pretty terrible green-reader. Stroke mechanics and speed control is important, of course, but that stuff can only take you so far. If you’re not matching it with a good read on the green, you’re not going to make putts. It’s one Read more…
It’s 2024, which marks a clean slate to fix the various things in our golf game that we’re not happy with. The list can get long in a hurry, but where’s the best place to start?
It’s a new year, which means for the next week or so, golfers across the world can think about all the things we’re going do differently this year to make us better golfers. A common theme you’ll notice around these parts is that were trying to focus on things that are actually doable in the Read more…
It’s funny how the game’s truly great players never stop trying to get even better. Lee Trevino is perhaps the best example there is. The 84 year-old hits balls on the range almost every day. He still tinkers with his technique, and is constantly learning lessons from the past. He shared a couple of those Read more…
Listen, our families and friends mean well. They know we like golf which in their minds makes them think that holiday shopping is simple. Unfortunately, we all know how that turns out. A budget brand of balls that we don’t use, or a gag gift idea, like that toilet golf game. Perhaps some not-actually-useful doodad, Read more…
In a year marked by division in the golf world, one longer-standing (and admittedly lower-stakes) divide I’ve never understood is that between range rats and golfers who hate the driving range. How can you hate the driving range? For me, it’s always been a place of refuge. A place to go and think, figure things Read more…
