Golf, while appearing to be a gentle sport, demands a significant level of physical conditioning, mental focus, and technical skill. To truly excel and avoid injury, a comprehensive training and conditioning program is essential. This document outlines key areas of focus to help golfers enhance their performance on the course.

The Importance of Physical Fitness in Golf

Many amateur golfers underestimate the physical demands of the game. A powerful and consistent golf swing requires strength, flexibility, balance, and endurance. Neglecting these aspects can lead to inconsistent play, reduced power, and a higher risk of injury.

Vessel Golf is known, first and foremost, as a golf bag company. They’re not cheap but they’ve been fixtures on MyGolfSpy’s medal stand ever since we started golf bag testing. It’s not just us that thinks so, as Vessel golf bags are a fixture on the PGA and LIV tours.

Over the last several years, however, Vessel owner Ronnie Shaw has expanded into more travel and lifestyle gear (there’s also plenty of pickleball gear but I don’t want to go down that particular rabbit hole). After careful consideration, here are five non-golf bag items we think are worth a look.

#1: PrimeX Backpack

Frequent travelers know the indisputable truth: cheap luggage isn’t good; good luggage isn’t cheap.

At $269, the Vessel PrimeX Backpack isn’t cheap but you’ll probably get tired of it before it actually wears out.

Like Vessel golf bags, the PrimeX backpack features well-organized pockets. It’s big enough to hold a 15-inch laptop, with velour-lined front and side pockets for your cell phone and other valuables. The top accessory pocket has a magnetic closure and includes a key leash and storage space for business cards, cords or other small items. Overall, it’s compact enough to stow under the seat in front of you.

For the recreational golfer who cares about their performance, the game often poses a daunting, seemingly paradoxical, question:

How can you get better when you have less time to play?

So many of us are forced to cut back on golf because other life responsibilities get in the way. We get married, have kids, focus on our career pursuits—or maybe it’s all of the above.

Conventional wisdom suggests your golfing life will inevitably suffer under these conditions. Practicing and playing less golf? That isn’t a recipe for even sustaining your handicap, let alone improving it.

This may be one way to look at it, but Tangent Golf wants to flip the problem on its head to give you a new perspective.

The best part of my job is also the worst part of my job.

I guess that Dickensian declaration requires an explanation.

The best part of my job is that I get to try lots of new irons. Words can’t adequately express the joy of long brown boxes showing up on my doorstep. On the other hand, the worst part of my job is that I have to try lots of new irons. Just when I reach that sweet spot of understanding with an iron set, I have to start all over again with something else.

I know, poor me, right?

Therefore, it is with mixed emotions that I must report your loyal scribe has been tasked with taking a deep dive into the new Titleist T250 irons. It’s a dirty job, but it’s one I’m willing to take on for you, dear reader. I’m just that kind of guy.

Every golfer wants to hit more greens but scoring well depends just as much on what happens after you miss one. The short game (shots inside 50 yards) is where better players separate themselves.

The charts below show Shot Scope data on how golfers of different handicaps actually perform around the greens. From proximity and up-and-down percentages to total shots needed to finish a hole, you can see exactly where your short game stands and what the next skill level looks like.

Handicap	Up & Down %	Sand Save %	Original link How Much Blame Does Keegan Bradley Deserve For Ryder Cup Loss? Thursday, 23 October 2025 GolfLynk Publisher MyGolfSpy You have to hurt for Keegan Bradley. Bradley went 0-2 as a Ryder Cup player, including a gut wrenching loss in 2012 as the Europeans rallied for victory at Medinah. His two appearances in 2012 and 2014 were likely the only times he’ll get to play in the event. In 2023, he was snubbed (very publicly) in favor of Justin Thomas and Sam Burns. And then as a captain last month, Bradley’s team fell apart the first two days only to mount an improbable comeback on the final day. It still wasn’t enough as the Europeans held on for a narrow 15-13 triumph on American soil. We knew the result would be hard for everyone in red, white and blue to stomach, but maybe we didn’t realize just how crushed Bradley would be in the aftermath of Bethpage.

What Tour Pros Know About Weight Shift That You Don’t Thursday, 23 October 2025 GolfLynk Publisher MyGolfSpy I came across this video from one of my favorite YouTube instruction channels. If you like learning the “why” behind the golf swing, I suggest giving Athletic Motion Golf a follow. I found this one particularly interesting because of the way I learned to play golf and what I’ve seen work with students through the years. Many amateurs have been taught to “stay centered” or “rotate around the spine” but this video shows how that thinking can ruin power, natural movement, instinct and sequencing. So here’s a look at what Tour pros know about weight shift and what you can learn from it. Weight shift versus pressure shift: Why the difference matters Before we dive into this deeper, it’s worth understanding the differences between weight shift and pressure shift. Pressure = where the force is applied under your feet (invisible without a pressure mat)Weight = your body’s mass moving side to side—something you can see on video or in a mirror. When a tour pro swings, they visibly shift their mass during their swing. That movement causes the pressure change. The common amateur mistake: Trying to eliminate movement Amateur golfers take the idea of “staying centered” and exaggerate it. They are afraid of swaying so they lock their weight in place and just turn around a fixed center.
