Equipment Deal: Wilson Zip Golf Balls Are An Incredible Value
Back in the day, I played two balls in tournament play. The first was the Titleist Tour 100 Balata and the second was the Maxfli HT100 balata ball. Both of these provided a cover that would shred and get knocked out of round, but they felt so good coming off the club head that I…
Budget Beater: Always Buy Used Or Last Year’s Models
Let’s be honest. Golf equipment prices are crazy. $1000 for a set of irons. $400 for a driver. $250 for a hybrid. $300 for a putter. If you are bag shopping right now, you’re well aware of the fact that purchasing your new setup will cost you thousands of dollars. In fact, $2000 is almost…

Stroke Saver: Improve Your Game With The PGA YouTube Channel

Budget Beater: Save On Low Compression Balls That Really Perform
In my golfing comeback, the one area that I haven’t tinkered with up until now was the ball that I have been playing. I took a stab at one hole with a Titleist Pro V1x, but it wasn’t the feel that I was looking for. My trusty Nike One Gold (2005) were still finding a…
Blog Babble: Why I Hate NBC And The Golf Channel
I don’t normally like to vent on stupid things that I find online, but this is one of those things that continues to frustrate me to no end. There I am clicking through my social media feeds and I run across an ad for the LPGA Volvik Championship streaming online coverage. I’m thinking that it…
Stroke Saver: Putt To The Cup On Long Putts
Too often I see players that can hit their tee shots dead perfect every time to the center of the fairway. They play target golf to the green, usually hitting that high fade that just snuggles into the green when it hits the putting surface. Then they get up and 3 putt for a bogey…
