I’m always in search of the next great golf glove. A few common big-brand names dominate the retail shelves and pro shops . . . do these brands really represent the best gloves that are available? I’ve previously reviewed a number of glove brands that aren’t well known and have found all of them to offer a superior fit, function and value than the big brands. Maintaining this blog’s fine tradition of reviewing new and innovative products, I now am…
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…
Handheld GPS units, lasers and GPS watches have become commonplace. After looking for something that’s more convenient and easier to travel with, I was impressed to have come across the Distance Pro GPS Golf Glove. The Distance Pro Golf Glove has access to over 35,000 golf courses, so finding your home course, or virtually any other domestic course should not be an issue. The Distance Pro Golf Glove is battery powered , and pairs wirelessly via Bluetooth with your smart…
There are many ways to keep hydrated on the golf course, and I’ve written about a few. I found another really unique and quality product at the PGA Show that should definitely be included on the list of great products golfers should consider to help stay hydrated when on the golf course. There’s no reason for avid golfers to drink plain water any longer when there’s options that don’t have many artificial colors and added sugar. I understand that adding…
I’ll be blunt – the putter cover that comes free with the putter that you purchase is pretty darn basic and nothing to write home about. I know Scotty Cameron and Odyssey do sell some custom putter covers, which are unique and of better quality than what’s included free with your putter, but there simply has to be better options for the golfer who wants to make a “statement”. A company called KickInCovers manufactures very unique and detailed putter covers…
I’ve tried many putting training aids, and all emphasize putting your path through the ball. While at the PGA show, I found a very different type of putting training aid and it’s called the Eye Putt Pro. The Eye Putt Pro is unique from other putting aids because the Eye Putt Pro focuses on two principles, 1st – assuring that your putter is always level while behind the golf ball and 2nd making sure your eyes are positioned directly over…
This seems to be a problem with anyone who uses a golf rangefinder; where to put the thing when your golfing. I assume most people throw it in the cart somewhere, as we know rangefinders are just to big to put in your pocket and to bulky to take in and out of your golf bag for every shot. I’ve used several different devises to strap my Bushnell rangefinder to the golf cart and some have worked better than others.…
We all mark our golf balls when we play so that we can identify our own ball. Most people mark their ball with some type of variation of dots, lines or maybe even a symbol. Things have come a long way and I’m about to share with you a really unique and fun way to mark your ball. Until I heard about Golf Dotz, I had always used a purple line to mark my golf ball. I used a purple…
I’ve tried a few belts that are made for golfers, and have found most to be pretty good. However, I located a company that has a belt that I just fell in love with. NextBelt offers a one size fits all belt with a very unique buckle that makes all the difference in the world. Admittedly, I’m not a style guru by any means, but because I love to golf, anything that has a golf angle to it always peeks…
Most of us wear socks . . . most of the time. I found the coolest golf socks from two different companies and I wanted to share them with you. These are socks that I probably wouldn’t personally wear on the golf course, but for the golfer who loves “everything” golf, these are the golf socks to wear out on the links for sure! The two companies are Bold Socks, and Stance Socks , and they make a lot of…
