A 20 year old Tiger Woods stood to the side of the 18th green at TPC Summerlin as Davis Love III, one of the game’s best players at the time, stroked an 8 foot putt for par to extend the sudden death playoff. The putt slid by the hole and Tiger won his first of...
Mizuno has always been an industry juggernaut when it came to forged irons, being the popular choice among the game’s best players without an equipment endorsement. But they never could quite make any noise with their metal woods. The ST-200 series dipped their toes in the water of having a driver that could compete with...
Distance off the tee has been a great equalizer since golf’s inception. Modern golf courses are long and the classic courses are getting longer (you can almost hear the golf purists weep as you read that sentence). The distance players hit it and the evolution of balls and equipment has been on the forefront of...
James Piot was 3 down heading to the last 9 holes of the 36-hole championship match in last week’s U.S. Amateur at Oakmont. He erased the deficit and won the match 2-1 on the 35th hole. What may be more impressive than the comeback is what he did it with. He rolled a flat-stick that...

You ever play an emergency 9 with the fellas after already playing a round of 18? There’s always that one guy in your group that looks at everyone and yells “E-9?” after the bets have been settled and the sandwiches have been ate. Well Harris English and Kramer Hickok played an E-8 on Sunday to...
Rahm’s Raw Deal Jon Rahm arrived in Columbus on Monday for The Memorial knowing he had been in recent contact with someone who just tested positive for Covid-19. He alerted the tour and the event officials, and they administered a test…every single morning. And every single morning the test results showed negative. At the conclusion...
