I’m probably one of just a few people who enjoy practicing putting. I can always be found at the practice green at least 30 minutes prior to golfing – some days I go to the club to just practice my putting. With this said, I also change putters every few years, and sometimes I change during the same year. I’m always looking for that magic putter, yet I know it’s not the ‘sword’; it’s the ‘swordsman’. I’ve previously reviewed several putter…
I enjoy a nice beverage after a round of golf, and so do most of the guys I play with. Although I have my usual favorite cocktail or beer, I had heard of a new beverage called Transfusion which really caught my eye and I had to give it a try. Transfusion is a unique alcoholic beverage as its main ingredients are vodka, ginger ale and grape juice. Although Transfusion has been around a long time, it’s never been available…
I’ve tested a number of golf gloves over the years. Although some are better than others, most golf gloves don’t offer anything truly innovative, until now. Although Caddy Daddy Golf may be better known for their golf travel bags, I’ve found their “Claw” Golf Glove to be noticeably different than any glove I’d previously seen. The company claims that their Claw glove will not blacken, crack harden or tear, and will last 3 – 5 times longer than typical gloves found…
Putting is perhaps the most important element of everyone’s golf game, so it’s no surprise that there are so many different putters to support all the different putting styles. I’ve tried numerous putting training aids, and I found each one to be more of a chore than an enjoyable exercise. I’m pleased to report that I’ve found a great putting training aid that works. It has no electronics and can be used both indoors and outdoors. Most importantly, it’s a…
There are countless divot tools and ball markers available on the market today. Divot tools range from the complimentary plastic ones provided by golf courses to high end tools that cost in excess of $150! Of course, the most important thing about a good divot tool is that it works when used to repair ball marks on the green. I’ve carried lots of different divot tools and ball markers over the years, but recently I came across a unique company…
When on the links, I always use a golf towel, whether to wipe off a club or clean a ball. A quality golf towel is an essential accessory. I’ve always simply taken a white hand towel, wet it down and thrown it over the back of my bag. I make it a habit of always wiping off my clubs after each shot (especially bunkers) as they always seem to get mud, sand and dirt in between their grooves. Lastly, I…
I usually travel with a full back pack filled with the usual “stuff” – headphones, iPad, battery chargers and various small travel essentials. At present, my Callaway back pack looks nice but lacks sufficient storage, as its primary storage compartment is always filled to capacity, leaving no room for me to rummage around to find things. Traveling is already a hassle, so locating items in my back pack quickly is a huge plus. I tested out an expandable back pack…
I bring my Smartphone with me when I’m golfing as it’s important that I’m able to retrieve text messages and incoming calls while on the course. There’s really not proper storage for a phone in a golf cart, which is strange as everyone brings their phone onto the course. Most of the time, I choose to store my phone in the front compartment of the golf cart. Many golf carts now have phone chargers built right into them . .…
There are a million golf towels to choose from when it comes to using them on the golf course . . . and I’ve used at least half of them. I have found that the Loop Lyfe golf towels are truly amazing. Loop Lyfe offers 2 styles of towels – a Bag style and a Greenside towel. Loop Lyfe’s bag towel has both a plush side and a waffle side; the plush side is very absorbent and the waffle side…
As we all know, it’s proper golf etiquette to repair your ball’s mark or “divot” that’s left from where your ball dropped and dented the green. As a courtesy to others golfers who follow you, everyone who plays the game should carry a divot tool with them. Sadly, I’ve played on numerous courses where the greens were in poor condition due to people not repairing their ball marks . . . . and it’s a pretty aggravating experience. Using a…
