It’s the most wonderful time of the year. This is Christmas for golf. This is Masters Week. In the north and Midwest this is the unofficial start to our golf season. And as blessed as we were to enjoy the event just 5 months ago in November, this just feels right. We return to the...
There’s extra-stiff, stiff, regular, and light…or senior flex. We know these as the different shaft flexes offered in golf clubs. Most notably everyone wants to talk shaft flex when it comes to their driver, and everyone wants to talk their swing speed when it comes to selecting a flex. Sure that is an important variable,...
This week marks one year since we realized that this pandemic was something serious and our world was about to change. I was on a buddies golf trip to St. Augustine and just a few miles from our condo they cancelled play after 36 holes at The Players Championship. We sat there playing cards, drinking...
We’ve heard about golf’s battle on distance for 20 years now. We heard about Augusta National “Tiger Proofing” the course after Mr. Woods tore it up in 1997 by hitting pitching wedges into par 4’s and 6 irons into par 5’s.

Callaway Golf is taking us all back to the early 2000’s with their 2021 equipment line. Instead of Ross and Rachel, it’s Bertha...
This blog was originally published last July but received such good feedback that we thought it could be helpful to those who may have missed it or use it as a guide for anyone seeking golf instruction this spring. Just like every other profession, sport, or activity there are good and bad instructors. In golf...
Say the word Ping to a golf purist or old-timer and they’ll probably talk about the classic putter that actually made a “ping” sound at impact, and they’ll certainly tell you about their first set of beryllium copper Ping Eye’s, how much they cost, and where they bought them. The Arizona based manufacturer has been...
Golf was one bright spot amongst a thick layer of fog that was 2020. Rounds played were up as much as 30% in some parts of the country and retail sales saw figures that haven’t been seen, well…ever. Golfers who played maybe once a week were now playing 2-3 times as hugs and handshakes were...
