Quail Hollow takes on an inch of rain and will play long this week. But the rough is manageable and the greens are still (somehow) firm.

Staying calm under pressure in golf (or any sport) is key to performing well, especially when facing challenging shots or situations. Here are some strategies to help maintain composure when the heat is on:

1. Develop a Pre-Shot Routine

• Having a consistent routine before each shot helps you stay focused and calm. This could include a few deep breaths, a specific practice swing, or a mental checklist.

• A solid routine gives you control over your actions, reducing the chance of nerves or rushed decisions.

2. Focus on the Process, Not the Outcome

• Instead of worrying about the result of the shot (e.g., making the putt or hitting the fairway), focus on executing the right swing or technique.

• By shifting your focus to your actions rather than the result, you can reduce anxiety and stay in the moment.

TaylorMade’s limited-edition PGA Championship Collection for 2025 pays tribute to Charlotte, North Carolina home to Quail Hollow, the tournament’s host course.

The staff bag features a dark blue, white, and gold color scheme with a crown on the ball pocket symbolizing Charlotte’s “Queen City” nickname. The city’s motto “Charlotte’s Got a Lot” appears on the bottom collar, with “Queen City” inscribed in the gold ring around the top.

Charlotte’s sporting heritage is represented through hornets on the valuables pocket, acknowledging both baseball (the Charlotte baseball Hornets folded in 1973) and basketball teams that call the city home. Racing culture gets its nod with gray racing decal patterns on the side panels and a checkered flag interior pattern – practical design elements for a city that hosts both the NASCAR Hall of Fame and one of the sport’s most famous speedways.

Feathers on the side panels honor the host venue, with “1961” marking the year the Quail Hollow opened. The matching headcovers continue these themes with gold crowns, white terrycloth feathers, and TaylorMade logos.

While the collection thoughtfully incorporates many Charlotte elements, there’s a notable omission that leaves me disappointed – no specific acknowledgment of Larry Johnson, arguably the greatest Charlotte Hornet ever. The absence of any nod to “Grandmama” feels like a missed opportunity.

When was the last time you stood in the golf shop, staring at rows of premium golf balls, and thought about how they’d perform in morning dew or a 15 mph crosswind? If you’re like most golfers, probably never.

I’m as big of a golf ball nerd as you’ll find, and frankly, until very recently, I hadn’t given either much thought.

In recent years, I’ve tried to condition you to obsess over a golf ball’s flight, spin and, to a smaller extent, distance. It’s solid advice, but in following it exclusively, we might be overlooking two lesser-known performance metrics that can have a dramatic impact on our scorecard. I’m talking about Ballnamic’s Flyer Prevention and Wind Scores.

Let me put this bluntly: If you’re not accounting for these factors when selecting your golf ball, you’re likely leaving performance on the table.

Here’s why these metrics matter.

A reader recently asked: “Do you see 3D printed clubs as a fad or the way of the future?” It’s an excellent question about a technology that’s already transforming golf equipment manufacturing.

3D printing in golf clubs isn’t some futuristic concept we’re waiting on – it’s already here and has been for a while. Players like Bryson DeChambeau, Rickie Fowler, Gary Woodland, Kyle Westmoreland, and Max Homa have all put 3D printed clubs in play on Tour. To date, COBRA has 3D printed irons, utility irons, wedges, and putters. And that’s the stuff we know about. I’d bet good money that there are some metalwood prototypes somewhere in COBRA’s R&D department.

Why 3D Printing makes sense for golf clubs

The magic of 3D printing (or additive manufacturing) lies in its fundamental difference from traditional methods. When you forge or mill a clubhead, you start with a big chunk of metal and shape it down – trimming edges, milling pockets, essentially taking away a bunch of material you don’t need until you arrive at your final shape.

3D printing flips this approach on its head. Instead of removing what you don’t want, you’re only adding what you need – building the club layer by layer from the ground up. This makes creating complex geometries significantly easier and allows designers to avoid having to work around what I suppose qualifies as mandatory weight where it isn’t desirable, instead placing mass only where it benefits performance.

What we’ve seen so far

To date, we’ve seen products like the COBRA 3DP Tour Irons (a full market release of what was the LIMIT3D), which deliver game-improvement-like performance in a compact package typically reserved for better players’ irons.  And while that’s cool in and of itself, it’s just the first of what will likely be several 3D printed golf clubs offered to consumers.
