Champions, Cutmakers And (Point) Missers From The 151st Open

Mr. Hilton has referred to the irregular surface of Hoylake as rarely affording an absolutely flat stance, a fact to which he says the attention is drawn more noticeably on returning from golf elsewhere. To be able always to stand true to our ball can have an enormous influence on the truth of the stroke, and this explains much of the difficulty of the greater links and their suitability for the most exacting tests of all. It also possibly explains the failures of players who are undoubtedly fine stroke producers but minimize their chances by spending their days on their own park or otherwise artificial courses. H.N.

Amazon Finds: Golf Accessory Kit

The Problem

There are a lot of little items in golf that can easily be forgotten or lost. Not having some of them can negatively impact performance, course maintenance and even golf etiquette. 

The Solution

The Uioolri Accessory Pack. This Amazon find (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09B22QHPH/ref=emc_b_5_i) will set you back $19.99 and includes all the little useful and necessary items to make sure you are well prepared for your next round. 

Golf Accessory Kit

How I Found It

Finding this was a bit of a happy accident. Recently, I have been doing my own club repairs and building some irons. I have purchased many items through Amazon. 

As I was browsing, there was a list of accessories and random golf products which Amazon felt I would be interested in. They were right as this accessory pack had items I needed and wanted.

How It Works (or Doesn’t)

The accessory bag comes with three main items: a microfiber cloth, a divot tool with ball marker and a cleaning brush packed in a mesh bag.

Bettinardi 25th Anniversary BB43 Limited-Edition Putter Review

Bettinardi BB43 Limited-Edition Putter

Bettinardi Golf is celebrating their 25th anniversary with a monthly series of limited-edition putters.The Bettinardi 25th Anniversary BB43 Limited-Edition is the seventh putter in the series.Only 250 putters were produced.Available July 25 with a MSRP of $900.

In 2023, Bettinardi is celebrating a quarter-century of making putters. Robert J. Bettinardi was making putters before 1998 but that was the year he set off to open his own shop.

To celebrate this milestone, Bettinardi Golf is releasing a different limited-edition putter each month to showcase their designs from the past 25 years.

Since this is the seventh month of the calendar year, the Bettinardi 25th Anniversary BB43 limited-edition putter represents the seventh putter in the series. This one takes us back almost to the beginning of Bettinardi Golf.

While there was a BB43 in Bettinardi’s 2014 putter line, this BB43 is really more about the one made in the year 2000.

Back when we thought all of our computers were going to crash, Bettinardi rolled out the original Millennium Series putters. The circa-2000 Millenium series putters featured milled stainless steel construction, brass face plugs and Bettinardi’s honeycomb face milling. Take that, Y2K!
