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…
Like everyone, I’m constantly trying to figure out ways to add a few more yards to my game. With so many available choices in golf balls, there’s almost an unlimited number of options available to try and test Today’s review is on golf balls manufactured by Zero Friction. Perhaps better known for their golf gloves, Zero Friction sells matte finish golf balls in 5 colors plus white. I’ve seen plenty of people play with yellow and red balls, but green…
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 . .…
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…
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…
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…
Searching for a good fitting golf glove for me is often a challenge as my hands are a little on the small side. My everyday gloves are either a Footjoy StaSoft or my most-favored Mokom brand of golf glove. Today I will be reviewing the Zero Friction brand of golf glove as it claims to have one-size-fits-all sizing. The company offers mens, womans, and youth sizes of gloves that are available in both synthetic and Cabretta leather. Both styles of…
6-17-19 – Update… After using the Tune Driver for 2 months, it would not charge. The cord would not fit cleanly into the charging spot and the head would not charge. I have asked the company for a replacement and I am still waiting for the replacement head. The sound was always good, not being able to charge the unit is a definite issue. My weekday golfing group prefers to not listen to music while on the links. That all…
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.…
