Gear talk, course tips, rules made simple, and all the golf banter you’d hear at the 19th hole. If it’s golf, we’re talking about it.
A 460cc driver head sounds huge until you slice it 30 metres into the trees anyway. That's the trap most weekend golfers fall into: they buy the biggest, most expensive "forgiving" driver on the shelf…
Slice it 30 metres right, top it off the tee, or watch it balloon straight up into the wind — if that's your Saturday routine, the driver in your bag is probably fighting you. The…
Two balls sit on the same shelf at your local pro shop for £39.99 and £26.99, and most golfers grab one purely on reputation. That's the wrong way round. The callaway chrome soft vs supersoft…
Ernie Els has finished runner-up at a major nine times. Nine. That's more than plenty of Hall of Famers ever managed even once, and it's the number that tells you more about his career than…
Ask ten club golfers whether they'd rather hit a fade or a draw, and nine will say draw, chasing the extra 10-15 yards they think it buys them. That instinct is costing them strokes. The…
A round on a genuine Donald Ross-designed course for around £20 sounds like a typo. It isn't. The William J Devine Golf Course at Franklin Park, tucked into Boston's Dorchester and Roxbury borders, is one…
Slice a drive on the 5th at Boundary Oak Golf Course and you won't find it. The oaks swallow it whole, and that ball is gone for good. This is what surprises a lot of…
Tour pros carry wedges with 4 to 6 degrees of bounce and razor-thin soles because they strike the ball with a descending, precise blow every single time. Copy that setup as a 20-handicapper and you'll…
Here's the number that trips up most weekend golfers: a 90 mph swing speed and a 75 mph swing speed can both belong to "15-handicap golfers," yet one guy hits his 7-iron 150 yards and…
Titleist sells more golf balls than any other brand on the planet, and the Pro V1 is the one every pro shop assistant reaches for first when you ask "what should I be playing?" That's…
A $28 cabretta leather glove that sits in your bag for six months between rounds will dry out, crack, and lose its grip before it ever earns back its price. That's the trap most glove…
You can hit 100 balls at your local golf practice range and leave with worse habits than you started with. That's not a scare tactic — it's what happens when every shot has no target,…
Your elbow aches after every range session, and your shots still leak right. That's not a coincidence. Golf elbows — sore, achy joints from a faulty swing — are usually the same root problem as…
Anthony Kim once beat Sergio García 5&4 in Ryder Cup singles at Valhalla in 2008, then walked away from professional golf at the peak of his powers. That vanishing act made him one of golf's…
Slope rating 148. That's what Spyglass Hill Golf Course carries from the tips, a number that puts it ahead of Pebble Beach Golf Links on paper despite getting a fraction of the TV time. Say…
Your driver goes 180 yards left of where you aimed, and you've got no clue why. Sound familiar? Most golfers don't need another glossy photo of a tour pro mid-swing. They need to know why…
Fourteen. That's the number the rulebook allows in your bag, and almost every golfer treats it like a quota they have to fill. Rummage through most weekend bags and you'll find three wedges nobody practices…
Tony Finau has hit more 320-yard drives on tour than almost anyone else in the field, yet he's stood over a winning putt at a major and walked away without the trophy more than once.…
Your feet will slide on a wet fairway before your swing ever falls apart. That's the moment most golfers realise their shoes have been the weak link all along. If you're shopping for golf shoes…
Patrick Cantlay has never lifted a major championship trophy, yet he's banked a $15 million FedEx Cup bonus and spent stretches ranked inside the world's top five. That gap between "no major" and "elite ranking"…
