I use a divot tool all the time and keep it in my pocket. Over the years, I’ve had many types of divot tools, some with one prong and some with two; some were made of plastic and some metal. There are certainly tons of divot tools on the market and each one, if used properly, will help maintain the putting surface and is a courtesy to the golfer(s) following you. Often, you’ll even see signs requesting that golfers repair…
Do golf cart laser mounts really work? After using a handheld GPS unit for more than 7 years, I grew tired of only getting readings to the front, middle and back of the greens on my course (it has elevated greens). Recently, I took that plunge and purchased a new Bushnell Pro X2 with the Slope Edition. It’s my opinion that I get the best use out of the Bushnell when mounting it directly to the cart, instead of leaving…
Can I safely hit a golf ball indoors? There’s nothing worse than being cooped up during the long winter months. I personally find that the downtime really hurts my golf game and I wish I could be playing or at least hitting golf balls. In my area there no are heated driving ranges so winter is the worst time of the year. Fortunately, I found a really cool product that lets you hit golf balls indoors and also provides great…
I play 2-3 times a week during the spring, summer and fall months, and if not for winter, I would play year round. I’ve tried every golf ball, and I mean everyone, from Pro V1, to Top Flite, Chrome Soft, to Taylormade TPX, to Bridgestone, to Wilson Duo, to Pinnacle. I’m always looking to gain those extra yards or that extra spin that so many balls claim to offer. Due to my swing speed being in the mid 80’s, I…
What’s the best affordable golf ball? I’m always looking for those 10 extra yards, or getting that special ball spin off your wedge shot that you see only on T.V. When I heard that there was a new company selling affordable golf balls, I figured that I had to try them out. Bixtar Golf has a single golf ball offering – a 2-piece soft golf ball which the company bills as being ideal for the everyday golfer. I tried the…
I bought a 3-pack of World of Golf Pocket Brushes as a way to keep something really small in my pocket after hitting wedges shots. I’d hoped that these pocket brushes would be better than having to run back to the golf cart each time to clean my clubs. As we all know, sometimes when we’re not playing at our best, we can often find ourselves in a fast paced “rush mode”, so I thought that this brush could possibly…
I always bring a towel with me each time I approach the green as my ball in play is always getting dirty. I believe putting with a clean ball can only help my game. The problem with using towels is that they are usually damp, and sometimes wet. The towel always seems to find itself on the ground where it collects grass and other debris. Besides, towels are just a bit of a hassle as I grab it every time…
The Glove Caddie, is a better way to store your golf glove. We’ve all been there as golfers – we take our glove off and put it in a pocket, toss it in the cart, or just keep it on so we don’t lose it. The Glove Caddie is a very simple product that lets you attach your golf glove to your clothing, or a separate object, by use of a Velcro clip. Glove Caddie makes it simple to attach…
I personally try every product that appears on this blog and write honest reviews based upon my experiences, with feedback at times from fellow golfers as well. This is one of those times when I say to myself, “Why didn’t I think of that?”. This posting’s featured product is so simple . . . and it works! The product is Grip-Dry, and for anyone who plays when it’s wet out, or in the mornings when there is dew on the…
I came across this really neat accessory while playing golf with a friend in Ohio. I always have too many things in my pockets, all over the golf cart and inside several pockets of my golf bag. I’m constantly reaching into places to look for things, so I’m attracted to anything I can find that makes my life just a little more simple. When I first saw the Ready Caddy, I was very excited to learn more about it. This…
