During the 2025 Ryder Cup, U.S. captain Keegan Bradley made an interesting observation about how the golf ball influences the pairing strategy for the team event. Golfers know how their ball feels, performs in different conditions and even what it looks like when it’s above a putt. As Bradley noted to Golf Channel early this […]
Fall is the most casual golf season. Do you know anyone who goes to the golf course before playing this time of year? Of course not. If you don’t have it now, you might as well wait until spring. In the fall we have fewer clubs in the bag (ideally the ones that work), no […]
For nearly two decades, Mystic Hills Golf Club in Culver, Indiana, was a local gem: a public course that was the perfect embodiment of small-town Midwestern golf. Located near Lake Maxinkuckee, in what is often called the “Cape Cod of the Midwest,” Mystic Hills was more than a place to play; it was a community […]
One of the benefits of undergoing a custom club fitting at a facility like True Spec is the chance to gain a brand-agnostic perspective on the best equipment for your game. That means you could theoretically end up with a set full of gear from multiple manufacturers instead of just one. Last week we explored […]

They also have multiple touring models available for the likes of Max Homa, Danny Willett, Gary Woodland and others – each […]
Had he not included the short par-4 14th hole at Black Desert Resort, PGA Tour pro Davis Thompson would have had an opening round to be proud of Thursday at the 2025 Bank of Utah Championship. But an unfilmed chipping disaster at age 14 turned Thompson’s scorecard upside down and left golf fans scratching their […]
