Our Job Is Your Game

If you dive into Most Wanted Testing articles, you see this saying every single time. Why? It is our DNA.

Our mission is simple: to educate golfers worldwide and to equip them with the best products suited for their game.

Yorktown, Va., is where every shot and every data point comes to life. It is where we are changing the golf industry one reader at a time.

Most Wanted Testing

In 2021, 122,988 shots of data were collected over 11 Most Wanted tests. Let that sink in … 122,988 SHOTS.

It is 2022 and we are almost three-quarters of the way through Most Wanted testing. Each test isn’t possible without the dedication of our testers. Without them, Most Wanted testing does not exist.

“The first four putters were 20 years in the making.”  Guerin Rife

The concept of an overnight success story is misguided at best. Truthfully, the leap from relative unknown to a bona-fide market mover is the result of countless hours of dedication to a specific objective that benefits from some sort of inflection point.

In this case, we’re talking about putters, specifically Evnroll putters, and the man behind it all, Guerin Rife. In 2017, we traced Rife’s story from his roots as an ad agency art director to one of the most highly regarded creative thinkers and putter designers in the game.

What we knew then was that Rife was on to something with his Sweet Face Technology.

What we didn’t know is exactly whether it could sustain an entire brand.

The great thing about the U.S. Open is that it’s, well, open. It’s the ultimate meritocracy. If you’re good enough, you can compete.

You didn’t play high-level college golf? Doesn’t matter. You didn’t play competitive golf at any level? That doesn’t matter, either. The only thing that does matter is can you shoot the scores?

Pretty straightforward, right?

The final qualifiers are this weekend but it’s the Monday regional in Ohio that’s drawing more interest than normal. That’s where former NFL running back Danny Woodhead will try to buck the odds once again.

Gunning for Brookline

If you follow the NFL at all, you probably remember Woodhead. The 5’8” running back out of Division II Chadron State in Nebraska carved out the unlikeliest career, highlighted by three seasons with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

Steven Alker topped yet another PGA Tour Champions leaderboard Saturday, shooting an 8-under 64 for a share of the second-round lead in the Principal Charity Classic.

Cameron Smith holed out for birdie with a downhill chip from beyond the green on the par-3 12th and scrambled for some pars down the stretch for a 3-under 69 and a 1-shot lead over Denny McCarthy and K.H. Lee entering the weekend at the Memorial.
