Golf Exercises: Ten Essentials

1. Core Strength:

   • Perform planks and core exercises to enhance stability and rotational power in your golf swing.

2. Rotational Power:

   • Incorporate medicine ball rotational throws to improve torso rotation and overall swing power.

3. Flexibility Training:

   • Focus on hip flexor stretches and overall flexibility exercises to enhance range of motion during the swing.

4. Leg Strength:

   • Develop leg strength with squats to improve stability and power transfer during the golf swing.

5. Balance Training:

It's natural to be nervous about playing in a pro-am, but as long as you focus on these two things, you'll be absolutely fine.

Tyrrell Hatton has left the PGA Tour to sign with the LIV Golf League, where he will be on Jon Rahm's team with Kieran Vincent and Caleb Surratt.

LIV Golf has snagged another top PGA Tour player. 

A little over a month after poaching Masters champion Jon Rahm, LIV has signed Tyrrell Hatton to a deal reportedly worth up to $60 million. Hatton had earned just shy of $22 million in 128 PGA Tour starts. 

Word spread on Monday when The Telegraph reported that Hatton was set to join Rahm’s Legion XIII team. The official announcement arrived Tuesday, confirming the news.

The LIV season begins this weekend in Mexico, and Hatton will be there for the opener. He had been expected to play on the PGA Tour this week at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. 

This is not particularly surprising—Hatton has been mentioned repeatedly in rumors over the past few months—but it is another significant blow for the PGA Tour. 

The U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations has subpoenaed documents from four U.S.-based consultants working for Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.

In a world where golf is growing more expensive, it’s always refreshing to find a great deal on brand name golf gear.

Each morning I search the internet (no kidding, I really do) in the hopes of finding a barn burner deal to share with you. Why? I care. You’ve made it clear to me that value and budget-friendly options are important.

If it’s important to you, it’s important to me.

adidas S2G Spikeless Golf Shoes – $37.50 w/ code LUNAR25

Right now, adidas’ Lunar New Year sale is chock full of great steals and deals. One of which, this slick deal on the S2G spikeless golf shoes, I couldn’t wait to share with you.

This lightweight, waterproof spikeless golf shoe is only $37 and change when you use code LUNAR25.

The PGA Tour and LIV Golf are working toward a partnership that could result in one global tour—or at least more cohesion between the two circuits. 

Until that moment comes, if indeed it does, golf’s two biggest tours will continue to be compared. 

We like to start with the majors. LIV players performed well in them last year, earning one victory (Brooks Koepka), getting into the mix at the Masters (Koepka, Phil Mickelson, Patrick Reed) and registering a top-five finish in the U.S. Open (Cameron Smith). If you add in LIV newcomer Jon Rahmn, the reigning Masters champion, it’s clear the league is still a key piece in the major conversation. 

It’s also an interesting exercise to measure Strokes Gained among all players. Of the top 25 golfers in the Data Golf Rankings, only one (Rahm) is from LIV. Unlike with the Official World Golf Ranking, this data takes all tournaments into account. There is no doubt the game’s best play on the PGA Tour, even if a lot of the game’s biggest names have left. 

But here is one more comparison we’re curious about: Does either tour have the edge in driving distance? 

I interrupt our regularly scheduled new gear releases to bring you a blast from the past.

Recently, I stumbled upon a few Instagram accounts that specialize in vintage golf hats. As a kid born in the late ’90s, I’ve never been one to appreciate some of the older stuff out there.

Until now.

In case you didn’t know, vintage is in. What’s old is new(ish) again and it’s sending me down a second-hand rabbit hole on eBay to look for the coolest vintage golf stuff money can buy.

I’ve just scratched the surface on what’s out there but I’ve been finding some pretty cool stuff I can’t wait to share with you.

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. 

What We Tried:

Costa Diego sunglasses. Tiger Woods was sporting a pair amid the rumors of his eventual split from the Swoosh. If they’re good enough for Tiger, they’re good enough for me, right?

Who Tried It:

Connor. Director of Soft Goods Testing and resident sneakerhead. I’ve got a huge face (and huge ankles) so the Costa Diego seems like a great fit. It can be a challenge to find sunglasses that fit my face well so I was eager to give these a go. 

Crossover Appeal

Costa sunglasses have generally been thought of as sunglasses for sport fishing or water sports. Most of their lens technologies and polarization are designed specifically for fishing, although the crossover opportunities to golf are endless. 

In our Most Wanted sunglasses testing earlier this year, Costa sunglasses performed admirably, with most models providing great fit and coverage.
