Bermuda Grass

Bermuda grass is a popular choice for golf course turf, particularly in warm and sunny regions. Its attributes make it well-suited for golf courses, including fairways, tees, and rough areas. Here's why Bermuda grass is commonly used on golf courses:

1. Heat and Drought Tolerance: Bermuda grass is renowned for its exceptional heat tolerance, which is crucial for golf courses in warm climates. It can thrive in high temperatures and withstand prolonged periods of intense sunlight. Its deep root system also helps it access water deep within the soil, making it drought-resistant.

2. Rapid Growth and Recovery: Bermuda grass is known for its vigorous growth, which allows it to quickly recover from wear and tear caused by golfers' footsteps and golf cart traffic. This resilience makes it an ideal choice for high-traffic areas like fairways.

3. Fine Texture: Many Bermuda grass cultivars have fine to medium-textured leaves, creating a lush, manicured appearance. This fine texture enhances the visual appeal of golf course fairways and tees.

4. Tolerance to Low Mowing Heights: Bermuda grass can be mowed at low heights, which is essential for golf course putting greens, tees, and fairways. This ability to tolerate close mowing without significant damage makes it an ideal choice for creating smooth, fast-rolling surfaces.

I can’t say I’ve ever put much thought into matching my golf glove to my grips. But the idea makes sense. The changes are purely cosmetic, of course, but having a set of grips that is perfectly color-matched to your glove sounds like fashion genius to me.

Under Armour HOVR Drive Wide Golf Shoe Review

There is a lot of cool gear in the golf world that doesn’t always fit into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.

What We Tried: Under Armour HOVR Drive Wide Spikeless Golf Shoes

Your Thick Kick Tester

Dave Wolfe– Though I mainly talk about putters, I also have feet so wide that they can cover a manhole when required.

Width Testing the Under Armour HOVR Drive Wide spikeless Golf Shoes

It’s time to stomp the turf again as I continue my search for the truly wide golf shoes. Today, I’m channeling my inner Jordan Speith and checking out some Under Armour HOVR Drive Wide spikeless golf shoes. This is my first adventure into the Under Armour shoe world. I’ve worn other UA gear for years but never their shoes.

What was it about the Under Armour HOVR Drive Wide spikeless golf shoes that caught my eye?  That little word WIDE, of course. If a company is going to offer wide golf shoes, then I am going to slap them to see if they are in fact wide.

Houston, We May Have a Problem

Like I said, these HOVR Drive Wides were my first pair of Under Armour golf shoes. Opening the box, I was met with a good-looking and surprisingly light pair of shoes. Yes, they did have laces and not BOA closure but the blue-and-gray color scheme was so sharp that I didn’t mind.

SuperStroke Limited Edition Ryder Cup Golf Bags

SuperStroke has long been a household name in grips. Their iconic putter grips have been played across courses everywhere since their inception in 2009. Now, they’re loosening their grip on that corner of the market to dip their toes into the golf bag space with the release of a pair of limited-edition Ryder Cup pieces.

The all-new premium golf bags are indicative of SuperStroke’s excellence in innovation. Let’s take a closer look at why the brand is so excited about its first foray into golf bags.

Release Details

Available now for preorder at SuperStrokeBoth cart and stand bags will start shipping in mid-SeptemberEach bag purchase includes a bonus Ryder Cup SuperStroke Pistol 1.0 gripRetail of $349 (stand) and $399 (cart) respectively

More Than a Grip Brand

Pivoting to churn out a golf bag is no small feat, especially for a brand that’s built its legacy on golf grips. But, SuperStroke was darn sure not going to release a golf bag unless it was given the appropriate amount of effort and focus.

Some brands just slap their logo on anything that stands or holds clubs. Not SuperStroke. They started from the ground up and went all in on making what they felt was a good golf bag – something more than just a Ryder Cup fan piece.

“SuperStroke is proud to have such accomplished players using our premium putter grips at this year’s Ryder Cup matches, we wanted to offer something special to commemorate the historic biennial event,” said SuperStroke CEO Dean Dingman. “The SuperStroke Ryder Cup Carry and Stand Bags are brilliantly designed statement pieces with all the latest premium features you’d expect from a luxury golf bag. If consumer demand echoes the reaction of everyone who has seen these bags so far, these limited-edition bags won’t stay in stock long.”
