I’m always on the hunt for clothes that can be worn on and off the golf course. It’s tough for a company to find the right mix of design and fabrics to satisfy multiple scenarios – playing golf, going to work, or even for a more casual setting. One company that has caught my…

One of the great joys of golf is placing friendly wagers against your buddies in match play format. Whether it’s for pride or a Nassau with plenty of junk, it’s a great way to get the competitive juices flowing. And not to worry, you can keep your amateur status as long as y…

For the past year or so, one of the most common questions I’ve received from readers is, “when is Garmin releasing an update to the Approach S60 watch?” Golfers could sense it was at the end of its product cycle and didn’t want to make a purchase without seeing what a newer,…
