Scottie Scheffler had his highest final round in nearly two years at 2-over 74 but still managed to win the Memorial, his fifth victory of 2024 and one that saw his PGA Tour earnings for the year reach a record $24 million.

Everyone’s got a favorite polo, a favorite pair of shorts. I’ve tried my fair share of brands, too. The problem? I want the best of the best. And for good reason: I want you to wear the best damned golf apparel money can buy.

There are plenty of fish in our proverbial polyester pond and cashmere canals. I’ve fished and fished for the perfect pair of shorts and polo and have finally found them.

Welcome, fellow golfers, to summer golf apparel bliss. In this case, “bliss” is really spelled “KJUS.”

You know KJUS (or maybe you don’t). They’re that premium rainwear brand that every Scottish person I’ve met wears. And they’re dang good at it. You won’t find a better rainsuit than the Pro 3L 3.0.

That said, most people don’t know that KJUS makes killer polo shirts and magnificent bottoms. Seriously, they’re good.

Maybe it’s only nostalgia. Maybe it’s totally irrational. In fact, I know it’s irrational.

I miss the old U.S. Open.

I grew up watching U.S. Opens where players came to the course with a real fear of being embarrassed by an excruciatingly difficult (and sometimes blatantly unfair) setup.

While the Masters has always been about drama, the PGA Championship about fairness and the Open Championship about romance, the U.S. Open once represented brutality. It was punitive to an extreme, a survival test and a war of mental attrition rather than a well-balanced golf tournament with a priority on identifying the “best” player.

In my opinion, the zenith of this era came in 2005 at Pinehurst, host of next week’s U.S. Open. Michael Campbell, a relative unknown, hung on to win at even par but that Sunday is better remembered for its carnage.

Can you feel it? Can you hear it? The sound of the ice cream truck and the sweltering heat can only mean one thing: Summer is on the horizon.

Sure, there are a lot of things I love about summer. Diet Coke, flip flops and shopping are pretty high on that list. Bridgestone just released a box that hits on two of those three. (Can we get a Diet Coke next time?)

Today, Bridgestone released the Summer Vibin’ Capsule; a $99 box designed to get you into a summery state of mind. The capsule features one dozen custom Bridgestone Tour B X golf balls, a pair of Bridgestone-branded slides and goodr sunglasses.

Whether you’re chilling by the pool or wading through the water to find your tee shot, the new Summer Vibin’ Capsule from Bridgestone has you covered.

Introduction

RUNNER Golf was a surprise introduction to our Forum member testing platform this year. The French company has received awards for its innovative putters but was still relatively unknown among the community until the “Testers Wanted” opportunity came along. With three models and a host of different features and technology, including a sliding weight, there was ample intrigue among the community about how these putters could perform.

The Testing Opportunity

We selected four golfers to test, review and keep a RUNNER Golf putter. The putters each tester received were chosen through a two-part process. The first was going through the online fitting tool that RUNNER has created to help golfers get properly fitted. The second part was a phone call with founder Simon Linot who reviewed the virtual results and asked follow-up questions to make sure the testers were in the proper model and specs.

This is what our testers had to say about the fitting process.

Bobbers: “The fitting process was outstanding. The video analysis Simon did, the online video chat and discussion before the build specifications were more than I might have ever expected. It made me feel that the putter was being created for me. Honestly, I’ve never had that experience before. Hats off to Simon for his analysis of my putting stroke, sharing information, and answering questions throughout the process.”

Sdunne: “The AI online fitting tool helps you come up with the selection based on how your putting stroke flows, typical misses, your grip, and stance to determine how this would set up for myself. This was then backed up with a conversation with Simon, the founder, running through the tool and reviewing what that meant for the design. He also then explained a bit more about the weights and how to change them. This was great to help me feel confident in what we were selecting for me and how it would compare to current/previous putters.”
