We’ve all see it – after a long hot day on the golf course, we find ourselves wearing hats that have retained an ugly white sweat stain. Unfortunately, I’ve had my fair share of ruined hats too. Starting in June, and running all the way through September, the heat and humidity are quite elevated where I live and play on the East Coast. As I write this review in late July, today’s temperatures in my home town are expected to…
I always try to get to the golf course an hour or so early to get my tempo and rhythm warm-ups in prior to going to the driving range. To play your best, you’ve got to have good swing-tempo and rhythm. I’ve tried many warm-up tools, including the tool with the “orange ball”. Yet, I have found them all to be too flexible, and in the end, they never helped smooth-out my swing. My newest find is the Power Flex…
Over my years of golfing every 4 – 5 times per week, I’ve developed what my doctor refers to “Golfer’s Elbow” in my left arm. As a general practice, I use a simple compression sleeve to try and alleviate the dull ache in my elbow. Recently I tested Kryofit Sport’s unique cold-compression sleeve with integral icepacks built-in. All I can say is, “Wow!” The compression, combined with the cold pack, provides real relief to my elbow’s aches and pains. Kryofit…
When on the links, carrying a divot tool in your pocket is a required accessory. The Exact Golf Tool is much more than a basic divot tool – it’s actually a 5-in-1 multi-function tool that includes a golf club groove cleaner, a ball marker, a cigar holder and a golf grip holder (keeps grips dry). I found the Exact Golf Tool to be just the right size – not so large that it’s difficult to carry in my pocket and…
There are hundreds of golf tees to choose from and I think that I’ve tried almost all of them. I find that using the same tee for multiple rounds is a huge plus, and a tee that places your ball at a consistent height each and every time is also a huge plus. The Bugle Tee is the topic of this review. In addition to the features that I’ve mentioned above, perhaps the best feature available on the Bugle Tee is…
What would be better than receiving a golf-oriented gift in the mail every month of the year? Something new every month – from ball markers and head covers to drink koozies and divot tools. Receiving golf goodies every month on your doorstep is something ideal for every golfer. The service is called the Mullybox, and each month their subscribers receive a box filled with unique and needed golf products. The contents of each box is carefully selected and filled with high…
I’ve played with virtually all the major putter brands – from Scotty Cameron to Ping and Odyssey to TaylorMade. I continue to search for a putter that has what I consider to be the perfect balance of feel, weight and roll. For the past 10 years, I’ve chosen to use mallet-style putters and typically add 1 or 2 to my arsenal annually. When I came across a premium direct-to-consumer putter at a very reasonable price (around $100), I had to try…
There’s a good deal of talk out there about CBD and golf. With many PGA players now sponsoring CBD merchandise, I decided to try a few products, with the first one on my list being CBD chewing gum from a company called Per Os Biosciences. This company offers two CBD products – gum and mints, both of which are THC Free, so there’s no “high” associated with the use of either of these products. Here are a few standouts from…
Because I seem to require an energy boost after the front 9 holes, I usually carry a bag of peanuts to eat at the turn. A small bag of peanuts is an easy and convenient snack that I always carry in my golf bag. Sometimes I splurge with a hot dog at the turn, but I’m convinced that there are better ways to maintain my endurance without sacrificing nutrition. I shy away from traditional energy bars as I don’t enjoy…
As long as I’ve been a golfer, my preferred go-to golf glove brand has been FootJoy. I’ve tried others over the years, but I’ve always gone back to FootJoy because I preferred their glove’s fit and feel. I’m always searching for those newest, latest and greatest golf products . . . which is how I came across the Mokom brand of golf gloves. Mokom makes gloves for Golf, Football, Baseball and Tennis. I found their golf gloves to be the…
