One of my favorite “Masters magic” elements is the course design. It’s not overly punishing for top players—winning scores have been getting lower over the years—but it makes the world’s best think through strategy in a way most places can’t match.
Here is my ranking of all 18 holes with comments on what makes each of them unique.
18. 7th (Par 4 — 450 Yards) “Pampas”
On a course that prides itself on interesting angles and decision-making, the 7th hole has been stretched out into a boring execution test off the tee. It’s a dead-straight hole with trees on both sides, and players are challenged into hitting a driver so their approach doesn’t require a mid-iron into a green that isn’t designed for it. There are a lot of bad drives that end up with punch shot approaches into the front bunker because there are rarely other options for recovery.
The green has some fun hole locations, including the front right Sunday pin. It was a better hole when it was shorter.
17. 4th (Par 3 — 240 Yards) “Flowering Crab Apple“
It’s the only long par-3 on the course, which is fair. Nice to see players hitting a long-iron or lumber into a hole.
SuperStroke grips are recognized for their performance on the putting green. Golfers like Jordan Spieth and Patrick Cantlay have helped the SuperStroke brand really break through. However, SuperStroke offers a full line of club grips in addition to its putting grips. As with any grip brand, the key is to try to find one that is the best fit for your game. We’ve broken down some of the top-selling SuperStroke grips to help you narrow down which one will feel right in your hands.
Club Grips
All golf grips claim to offer feedback, feel and traction. Here is a tip: If you are thinking of changing all the grips on your clubs, start with just one and then go from there. Put one on your 7-iron or 8-iron and play with it for two weeks then, if you’re happy, change them all.
S-Tech
The S-Tech is a soft, premium rubber grip that combines a cushion-like effect with plenty of tackiness. The S-Tech is suitable for all weather conditions as it does prevent your hands from slipping.
Sometimes, softer-feeling grips feel smoother and thus less tacky but not the S-Tech. This is the SuperStroke stock club gip that can work for almost any player.
Who It’s For: The S-Tech is ideal for players looking for consistency and playability across the entire set of clubs. It’s also a good value.
The Best Clubs From This Year’s Masters
The season’s first major is upon us and PGA Tour Superstore has a plethora of equipment and apparel to help you celebrate. We’ve done the hard work to put together a Masters gift guide for the top items you can find this spring. We’ll start with the clubs for the top five players in the tournament.
Scottie Scheffler WITB
The top-ranked player in the world trusts the new TaylorMade Qi10 driver and fairway wood in addition to the same P7TW irons Tiger Woods uses. Scheffler employs Titleist wedges and has been recently thriving on the greens thanks to his TaylorMade Spider Tour X.
Here is a full breakdown of everything Scheffler is playing and wearing:

Golf season is here for many of us which means it’s finally time to cash in on all that offseason work you’ve been doing. If you’ve already gotten that maiden round of the year in, chances are you noticed a bit of rust has accumulated on your short game. The Pocket Bunker is a golf training aid that offers to help you do that, specifically for your sand game.
The Problem:
Let’s be honest: Regardless of the time of year, you probably don’t practice your bunker game enough, if at all. For many of us, practice time is limited. When we do get to the range or practice facility, getting in a bunker to work out of the sand is pretty low on the priority list. That’s assuming a well-maintained practice bunker is available, which often isn’t the case.
The Solution:
For $21.99, Amazon will ship you the Pocket Bunker to solve that problem. Golf training aids come in all shapes and sizes and the Pocket Bunker is certainly an example of that. Take a golf ball-like sphere, add what looks like plastic octopus appendages to the bottom half and, voila!, the Pocket Bunker. It weighs reasonably close to a normal ball but the texture of the golf ball portion is more rubbery. Imagine the feel of a bouncy ball mixed with a cheap ionomer-covered golf ball and you’ll have an idea of what the Pocket Bunker feels like.
Those octopus-like appendages are a firm but flexible rubber and that’s how the Pocket Bunker attempts to mimic bunker play. Strike those legs too high and you’ll get a thin shot. Too low, a fat shot. In the middle … just right. Or at least that’s what the Pocket Bunker website says.
How I Found It:
If you’re like me, you wouldn’t normally think of training aid solutions for bunker play. Amazon agrees. I entered “golf training aids” in their search menu, scrolled … scrolled … and scrolled some more. (Yes, these are the confessions of a training-aid sucker.) Finally, after a seemingly endless stream of full-swing aids and their knockoffs, I found the Pocket Bunker.
