Palm Golf Co. is rooted in gloves. What started as a standing tee time between friends in Orange County, Calif., ultimately grew to improve on style in the game of golf. The goal was simple; provide a fashionable glove with zero compromise in performance and quality that any golfer would want to wear. With designs that will suit the eye of the clean-cut country club member to the high-top wearing weekend hacker, Palm has you covered.

They didn’t just stop at gloves, though. You’ll find apparel, hats and accessories to reflect your sense of style and personality. This list highlights some of Palm’s best-selling products. Take a look and grab one or more. We have a feeling you’ll like what you see.

Barrels and Birdies Glove

The Barrels and Birdies glove is Palm’s all-time best-selling glove. A staple since Palm began in 2017, it features a floral design on the Velcro patch and Lycra gussets between the fingers to add a chill vibe. Premium AAA cabretta leather offers a “second skin” feel, keeping you connected on every swing.

Sea Isle Glove

The Sea Isle glove features a more subtle design than the Barrels and Birdies glove. This product pays homage to co-founder Dustin Ghaul’s New Jersey roots and favorite childhood beach. This glove consistently sells in the top three and adds just enough color to help you stand out.

Canvas Glove

This one is for all of my traditionalist golfers. If you prefer a clean, blank-slate aesthetic, the Canvas Glove is for you. Palm’s iconic tree logo is featured on the Velcro closure and is the only touch of color you’ll find on this glove. Keep it fresh with a blank canvas and let your game paint its own picture each round.

Not long ago, I shared a list of eight golf technologies that failed.

Today, I’m adding six more.

Unlike my original list, not everything here should be considered a total failure. A few of the things I’ve included are almost universally remembered fondly while the last item on this list was the industry-standard for nearly 60 years.

Nevertheless, you won’t find anything here sitting on a pro shop wall or shelf near you. If you do, it’s definitely not wrapped in the original factory plastic.

TaylorMade Bubble Shaft

Inarguably the most glaring omission for the original list was the TaylorMade Bubble shaft. Remembered fondly by many, TaylorMade’s unique shaft design featured a butt section that was so wide, Sir Mix-A-Lot blushes at the thought of it.

Golf doesn’t have to be expensive but poor purchase decisions can ensure that it is. Be smart with your money and avoid these five things we see golfers waste money on.

Wedges and putters that aren’t fitted to your game

Most golfers understand that getting fitted for a driver or irons is a no-brainer. But wedges and putters? Those are still being grabbed off the rack like a pack of gum at the checkout line.

Here’s the thing: your wedge and putter are your primary scoring clubs.

If they don’t fit your short game, you leave strokes on the course every round and you’re probably replacing them more often than you need to. Isn’t the whole point of spending money on golf to buy back a few strokes?

Club memberships, leagues, apps and subscriptions you don’t use

“This is the year.”

It’s very easy to find a highly functional, very cool GPS golf watch if you’re willing to spend $300 and up. Garmin, Bushnell, Voice Caddy and others all have excellent options, many of which will double as an everyday smart watch.

But if you’re balling on a sub-$200 budget, well, let’s just say there’s a fine line between inexpensive and cheap. In that price range, you’ll have to give up stuff. It could be quality and durability, it could be features, or it could be something else, but you will give something up.

Sorry, but that’s life in the big city.

Shot Scope’s new G6 GPS golf watch might just make that big city life a little more tolerable. At $179.99 (CAD $199.99), it provides you all the basics you need to play golf, plus an extra or two that’s rare (but not unheard of) in the under $200 price range.

Shot Scope G6: Full-color “how fars”

Shot Scope, my friends, is the “how far” business, as in, “how far am I away from that pin?” or “How far to clear this bunker?”

Last week, I wrote about the challenges associated with golf’s evolving technology ecosystem.

The abridged version: We have a growing assortment of golf-specific digital devices and almost none of them can talk to each other. It’s like the United Nations without translators.

While the recently announced integration between The Stack System and Rapsodo MLM2PRO launch monitors doesn’t solve the entire problem, it’s a step in the right direction for golfers using the two devices in tandem.

You still can’t order DoorDash from your Stack app but at least it now receives real-time swing speed measurements from the MLM2PRO via Bluetooth. I won’t go so far as to call it a game-changer but it does make speed training a bit easier.

It sure beats the hell out of yelling swing speed measurements and hoping your 97 doesn’t become 87 somewhere along the way.
