Which statistics are most important to track during a round of golf?

It’s not a trick question. Then, again, maybe it is. In some sense, every piece of data is potentially informative.

Regardless, golfers are notoriously bad at self-assessment. We overestimate how far we hit the ball and often conveniently forget the flubbed chips, three-putts and occasional mulligan. But if you’re a golfer who wants to improve, accurate shot-tracking is vital.

Arccos’ AI-powered Caddie platform allows golfers to track, record and analyze every shot.

With that, we’d like to get feedback from MyGolfSpy readers.

Spirit of the Game: Lee Trevino

August 19, 2021

All golfers are self-made, but the man who made the most out of what he started with has to be Lee Trevino.

Trevino rose from a three-room shack with no plumbing in east Dallas to become arguably the most consistent shotmaker the game has ever seen. Through an agile mind, a tremendous work ethic and a sense of moment that belongs to the natural performer, Trevino carved a way to the top that is unlike any other in golf history.

Starting as a caddy and coming up through the ranks of driving ranges, military golf and hustling, Trevino first burst into big-time professional golf full blown. He was a squat 5-foot-7, 180-pound ball of fire whose rapid wit made players and galleries laugh, but whose game commanded their respect

This week's AIG British Women's Open at Carnoustie will be the most lucrative tournament in women's golf with the prize fund increased by $1.3 million to $5.8m, organisers said on Wednesday.

There is a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly 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.

As I have mentioned, the number of options is the most significant feature of the digital putter design interfaces. If the Spider EX you build is going to be your Spider EX, then you need enough variation to make it just that. Here are the options available with the MySpider EX program:

Chesson Hadley qualified for the 125th and final spot in the FedEx Cup playoffs and said Wednesday, 'I'm on credit at the casino, and I can just kind of let it go."

I recently watched videos that reminded me of the 3 most important tips in golf. One tip is for your driving, one for your iron shots and one for your putting. Every hole that you play requires your instant focus on these 3 tips. Don’t start your next round without these thoughts.

The first 2 tips came from my favorite golf instructor, Danny Maude (just Google his name for a free site sign-up). His videos are excellent so I often use his video insights in my blogs.

1/ Impact Your Irons with a Forward Shaft Lean
Danny must be following my blogs as he is using the same mental cadence as I started using about a year ago. He mentally says “1 and 2” to allow for more time in his backswing to load his weight on his front foot during his transition. It just naturally happens if you don’t rush your swing at the top of your swing. It allows you to keep your head directly over your ball and to swing your irons with a forward shaft lean during your down swing.

The forward press of your hands during the downswing closes your club face and allows you to impact the ball with less loft angle and higher on the face of your iron (on the sweet spot).

2/ Power Your Drives UP with your Head Behind your Ball at Impact
Your driver has a limited loft because it is designed to impact your ball as the club head is arcing upward. That’s right, you are powering your ball with an upward trajectory as you push with your trailing foot to thrust the ball upward. Your head remains behind the ball at the point of impact.
