Stewart Golf electric trolleys aren’t the least expensive. But neither are they the most expensive.

But the company’s story—from its conception to three generations of engineers to its “handmade in the UK” ethos—makes it one of the more compelling things you’ll read today.

Unless, of course, Tiger reconsiders and decides to LIV it up with Phil and the gang.

In the electric trolley world, Stewart isn’t what you’d call a big player. Even its CEO doesn’t know the company’s market share. And what’s more, he doesn’t really care.

“We’re not really interested in volume,” says third-generation owner Mark Stewart. “The business case has to stack up but we enjoy doing this. We like designing products and we love playing golf. We make the products we’d like to buy.”

How have players like Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson performed in the new league's inaugural event?

Rocket Mortgage has ended its sponsorship deal with Bryson DeChambeau, a brand ambassador who is set to play in the LIV Series' second event later this month.

Wyndham Clark started the week with a late charge to play his way into the U.S. Open in a qualifier, and then he stayed hot Thursday in the RBC Canadian Open for a 7-under 63 to take the early lead.

Italian amateur Carolina Melgrati made four birdies and an eagle on the back nine to shoot a 7-under 65 and join three men in a tie for the lead at the Scandinavian Mixed event on the European tour on Thursday.

The PGA Tour has suspended the 17 current and former members -- including Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Sergio Garcia -- who are taking part in the first LIV Golf tournament.

Every golfer wants to break 100, then 90 and then 80. That’s why we watch rounds of golf on TV and continue to receive golf blogs to improve our games. Every pro has unique features in their swing, and you can too. You need to start with the basics that every professional depends on, but you should consider making modifications to suit your swing for your physical limitations.

Every golfer ages with different injuries and different physical activities which create limitations or unique strengths for our bodies. I know that I have had back and head injuries caused by snow skiing and a car accident. I’m also left-handed in every activity but I learned to play golf with the only clubs that I could find in our attic, and they were right-handed clubs. My swing is far from perfect but I make adjustments to keep improving.

I golf with several different people from all walks of life. Over time I see their games change: some for the better and some for the worse. In most cases the golfers who are NOT improving are trying to swing faster and are ruining the natural cadence of their swing. I’m hoping that the following summary of successful swing changes may help with your game.

Discoveries for Success
Massive Hook or Slice: Narrow your stance to reduce the power of your swing. [This golfer still uses a “strong” grip with his trailing hand, but his narrower stance reduced his power and creates amazing straight drives and fairway shots.
Miss-hit Drives: Slow down your backswing to allow more time for your weight transfer from your trailing foot to your front foot during your transition. [This golfer was hitting the ground 3 inches before his club topped the ball and added top spin which forced the ball to dive to the ground.]
Toe or Hosel Shots: Setup with your ball to the inside or outside of your club face to compensate for the clubs for each club where this is happening. [These golfers are swinging with bent arms where they miss-hit the face of their clubs.]
Miss-hit Fairway Shots: Avoid hitting off your trailing foot by setting up with your weight forward on your leading foot. [Irons are lighter and shorter clubs so it’s easy to swing them faster before your weight shift to your leading foot.]
Limited Power: Swing with a flat leading wrist (instead of cupping your wrist in the backswing) and make sure that you cock your wrist for lag so that you release creates a whooshing sound at the bottom of your swing. [A cupped wrist is adding slice to your swing.
Direction Control: Adjust your stance during setup. Some golfers start with a major open stance and some with a closed stance. Only you can sort out what will works best for your swing.

Golfer Paul Casey, who last competed at the WGC-Match Play in March, has withdrawn from the U.S. Open due to a lingering back injury.

Phil Mickelson finally returned to public life -- and golf. He was both different and still very much the same.

VERDICT

I know some golfers love music on the golf course while others hate it. However you lean, here is the Bushnell Wingman Review for you to dive into.

Would I buy this bluetooth speaker. YES…and it’s not because it plays music. Confused huh?

Yes, the Bushnell Wingman speaker does what it says on the package regarding playing music, at a good quality I might add. But, it’s the features where you see its true worth. Within the Bushnell Wingman app (which comes with the Wingman) you can customize any phrase you want and and the speaker will play it out loud. That’s right, whether you want to give some praise to your mate or for the speaker to say “you suck at golf”, the Wingman can do it all. I know what phrase I will be recording
