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 . .…
Like everyone else, I perspire in the heat when I golf. In the Mid-Atlantic region it gets really hot and humid, and sweating is just a part of playing golf in warm weather. If you’re not familiar with what happens when your forehead sweats, your hat gets white lines on the outside. These white streaks look really bad, and after washing, the hat is never quite the same. At the PGA show, I talked to a company called No Sweat…
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…
Because I’m not a fan of the generic head covers that are often included with the purchase of putters and drivers, I keep searching for better aftermarket options. I’m pleased to report that I’ve come across Rose and Fire Driver Covers and have found them to be well made and a solid upgrade. It’s a little hard to explain how nice these Rose and Fire head covers really are, but I’ll try to detail what I believe makes them so good.…
I’ve reviewed several golf tees over the past year. Although some of the tees were very good, they were all capable of doing just a single function – tee up a golf ball. The Zoom Golf Tee does several useful things in addition to teeing up your golf ball at the same height each time. The Zoom Golf Tee has a head that allows for your ball to sit perfectly, aligning with the sweet spot of your golf club. The…
When playing in the morning, the dew on the greens and the fairways gets your grips wet. Wet grips can make swinging the golf club or putter very uncomfortable because you just can’t get that feeling of control. I typically use either a towel, or a product called Grip Dry (reviewed last year), to keep my golf club grips dry when playing in the morning, or when the grass is wet Recently, I discovered a new product that’s easier to…
At the PGA show, I came across a company called Stance Check, who has developed specialty glasses that helps the golfer better coordinate their connection between eye movement and a full club swing. I was intrigued as I had previously only heard talk of eye-position influencing putting . . . never full shots. Stance Check glasses look very similar to traditional sunglasses, except the Stance Check glasses include a special plastic cover that shields your non-dominant eye. Nothing actually makes…
There are plenty of golf tees out there and I’ve reviewed several. However, there’s one golf tee that actually has a dual purpose and functions like no other tee that I’ve ever seen before. The golf tee I am talking about is from the company, Tee Fork. The Tee Fork Golf Tee is pretty unique as it functions as both a golf tee and a divot repair tool. In addition, Tee Fork’s golf tee provides a consistent tee height every…
Successfully reading greens is a real talent that takes years of experience and skill. I must admit that even after playing the same course a few times. I still find it tricky to locate the correct break of the greens. The changing flag positions on the greens make locating the correct line and speed even more challenging. I’ve found that the Sure Putt Green Reader putting tool definitely helps me read virtually any green. Although using the Sure Putt tool…
