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…
We’ve all had those golf “situations” – really unique lies and we’re just not sure what to do. Well, the Quick Caddie has the answers, and conveniently attaches to your golf bag for quick-access. From how to handle a ball lie above your feet to a plugged ball in the bunker, or hitting out of a deep rough, the Quick Caddie will give you the necessary “tip” to get you out of your bind. Simply rotate the easy to use…
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…
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…
Putting training aids come in all shapes, sizes and varieties. There’s a new training aid on the market and it’s the most unique product that I’ve ever seen. The focus of Big Balls is to improve your putting from the 2 – 6 foot range. Although Big Balls are extra large (30% larger than a regular golf ball), they have the same feel and weight as a traditional ball, and their roll is very true as well. Using the Big Balls training tool…
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…
This blog contains previous reviews of different types of ball markers, all of which are unique in their own way. The ball markers produced by Golf Ball Guts “take the prize” as their markers are manufactured from actual golf balls! Golf Ball Guts offers ball markers using branded golf balls from Titleist, TaylorMade, Callaway and many other golf balls manufacturers. At just about 1/8” thick, these markers are very thin. The company also offers custom engraving on one or both sides…
While at the practice green, I noticed a person in my group that was using an unusual looking apparatus which was connected to his putter. As I watched him putt, I could clearly see that this “gadget” appeared to have removed the wrist action from his putting stroke. Interestingly, he explained that he had bought this specific putting training aid over 10 years ago. Since he was now having some putting issues, he decided to take it out of storage…
