Newbie golfers lose a lot of golf balls, it’s a fact of life. This can get expensive. One dozen of a decent quality ball can be $25 or more, and losing several over 18 holes starts to add up. We recently heard about a company called LostGolfBalls.com. They find and recycle used golf balls, sorting [...]

I’ve been playing for a few weeks with the new Callaway HX Hot Bite Golf Ball. You may remember that I’ve been using the HX Hot since I started playing golf. That’s a great ball at a good price. Having heard good things about the new “Bite” version, I had to give it a try. [...]

After taking the TaylorMade R5 out onto the range twice, I’m growing even more fond of it. Initially, I was hitting some giant fades, unlike the straight shots on the launch monitor. After check my fundamentals, I realized that I was cupping my left wrist on the backswing. After realizing this and keeping it flat [...]

Well I did it. Finally bought a driver. A driver did come with the Jack Nicklaus set, and it looked like any other big-headed driver on the market. However, i could not hit it straight or long to save my life. So I’ve been teeing off with the 4 Hybrid or 5 Wood. Getting it [...]

Picked up a used Sand Wedge at local Golfsmith. It’s a Mizuno, age unknown, loft and bounce unknown. I’m just going with the brand here, that and it was only 10 bucks.
