There’s a lot of cool things about working at Golf Digest. Chief among them is the opportunity to forge longstanding relationships within the industry and to engage with our readers. On Thursday, April 25 at 8 p.m. EST, both of those areas meet as Senior Editor, Equipment Mike Stachura and myself will be hosting the Read more…
Although conventional thinking among golfers is to carry a 3-wood because you want to hit your fairway woods as far as possible, the fact is you’re likely doing yourself a disservice.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Vice Golf, the one-time small, discount direct-to-consumer ball company that has gone on to become an edgy lifestyle brand with a global presence, launches its newest collection of golf balls. The group includes three new multilayer cast urethane-cover models covering a full range of swing speeds, as well as two Read more…
I never knew how much I needed you until I didn’t have you, or not enough of you, or not the right ones. At the start of every round, I have to practically dump the contents of my golf bag into the compartments of my cart and shove countless tees in my hair (that somehow Read more…
Are all golf vests blue? Of course not, but my travels across the golf shops and putting greens of North America suggest it is so. Among my sleeveless souvenirs are a couple with logos so powerful they stop more conversations than they start. Like the salt in my hair, looking in the mirror at these Read more…
I learned to play golf in Hyderabad, India, at a club that had blasted boulders and discharged peacocks to create its home. Other than the threat of snakes (scary) and mongooses (adorable but distracting), the course was much like the fairways I’d eventually walk in the States, down to the male-centric golf shop and strict Read more…
As a millennial, the hoodie was a pivotal piece of my wardrobe during those awkward teenage years. My high school didn’t have uniforms, but you would think it did by the number of gray and navy hoodies walking through the doors each morning. Certainly, hoodies were not considered a “nice” item of clothing—let alone an Read more…
Imagine if you fell in love with someone first and only later learned that person was rich. This is what it’s like to wear a ball cap now that I’ve lost most of my hair. You see a transactional relationship meant to disguise my diminished hairline. I see the latest chapter in a lifelong affair. Read more…
Dressing little kids for the golf course can be difficult. You want to make sure they look presentable, while still wearing something that lets them move freely and have fun. Inflexible khakis and stiff collars are not what little kids are looking to wear. And if we’re putting them in clothes that they don’t like Read more…
It’s always rather intriguing to see what the best golfers in the world choose to wear on their feet as they trek some of golf’s most challenging conditions. Footwear is a rather underrated piece of equipment in a golfer’s arsenal—it’s easy to assume that shoes are simply for the aesthetics— but, your choice of kicks Read more…
Each year, we undertake a months-long process of research and testing to release the Golf Digest Hot List, the industry’s most comprehensive reviews of the latest equipment. We commit the time and effort to create the Hot List because we understand that if you’re going to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on golf clubs, Read more…
I first met Stephen Malbon 10 years ago at golf’s annual PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando. I had attended enough of them to know the unofficial dress code for men: navy blazer, tie, khakis and the most deceptively comfortable dress shoes you could find for traipsing the harshly carpeted miles between appointments on the convention Read more…
When we opened our store, Malbon Golf, on Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles in 2017, we were warned that golf was a dying sport, that a golf boutique in this location was never going to work. But we are each stubborn and headstrong and trusted that more people like us would see the future of Read more…
