For all the expense of golf equipment, apparel and other accessories, one of the harshest costs of being a golfer is just getting on the course to play.
Unlike with buying gear, a green fee is perishable. That $400 putter can be used for decades but the money you pay to play golf repeatedly goes out the window and never comes back.
Increasingly, that cost is going up.
Here in my hometown of Nashville, the cost of playing a mediocre course is still north of $60 in many cases. Somewhere decent is usually beyond $100.
That can add up quickly.
Last weekend, a rainy Saturday kept us off the golf course so I used the time to clean clubs, swap out grips and organize the golf bags for me, my husband and our two kids. As I worked through the clubs, I came across a few grips that were slick, worn down, way past their prime. Playing with grips in that condition can impact your game in ways you might not even realize. If you’ve been putting off replacing yours, here’s how to know when it’s time to make the switch.
Many amateur golfers wait until the grip rips or a hole appears where your thumb pushes into the rubber. These grips typically needed replacement many rounds ago. Here’s what to look for to know it’s time to change your grips.
The most obvious sign is visible damage. If you see cracks, splits or shiny patches, the grips are likely too worn. Over time, normal use and exposure to sweat, sunscreen, heat and dirt will break down the rubber or synthetic material, causing it to lose traction.
You’ll notice the slippery feel when you swing. Your hand probably slides a little at the top or at impact. You may even start wearing a glove and gripping a little tighter before you feel confident swinging the club.
A slick or glossy grip is usually an indicator that the surface texture has worn away.
After 420 hours of testing 37 drivers, hitting 18,620 shots and accumulating 409,000 data points, we learned a lot about the best golf drivers of 2025. This year’s testing pool included every major new release plus last year’s winner, the PING G430 MAX 10K. While we all have our thoughts and ideas as to who will dominate testing, here are three surprises and three things we totally saw coming.
The Titleist GT2 was the longest driver of 2025 but that’s not the whole story. The GT4 was the second-longest and the GT3 was the fifth-longest. While Titleist driver performance has traditionally been at the top, the way they dominated distance in the 2025 test was not expected, especially considering the competition.
If you are looking for pure distance, the GT2’s ball speed and carry numbers are strong but keep in mind that there are some tradeoffs when you are purely distance-seeking.
“Budget-friendly” and “golf driver” don’t usually go hand in hand but in 2025 testing, the Tour Edge Exotics E725 ($399) proved to be the most accurate driver in the field.
That said, while the E725 stands out as a rare value pick, most top-performing drivers in 2025 still sit at $550 and up.
We tested 37 drivers for 2025 and three of them are Callaways. The Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond took first place overall thanks to its strong performance across the board. However, the Elyte X and the Elyte were not far behind. We will explain everything you need to know about the best Callaway drivers.
It takes a lot to win the best driver of the year. The driver test consists of more than 18,000 shots and the Elyte Triple Diamond still managed to come out on top. It was the most well-rounded driver of all the Callaway models we tested in 2025 with its main strengths being distance and accuracy.
The Elyte Triple Diamond is considered a low-spin model but it was playable for a variety of testers and ranked in the top three for distance and accuracy. In the forgiveness category, the Triple Diamond was still above average.
There were very few downsides to the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond from a performance standpoint. However, some golfers did not like the glossy profile and topline transition into the face.

On the hunt for a new headcover or two? For my money, no one does the headcover game better than SWAG. Between their mainline offerings and their movie-inspired Rewind series, there are few that come close to the utter “swagginess” of their head covers.
The only problem? They rarely go on sale and almost always sell out.
Luckily for you and me, you can score 20% off select SWAG headcovers now at Golf Galaxy, including the Rewind and Hometown Brand series.
I’m a big fan of the Kool-Aid covers, and the Happy Gilmore ones are pretty darn cool, too. There’s also a host of MLB, NCAA and NFL-themed headcovers available, too.

Have you ever wondered if the exercises you’re doing and the speed training you use genuinely increase club speed? Recent research sheds new light on this topic and it might change your golf training regimen.
Two recent studies provide valuable insights:
Associations Between Physical Characteristics and Golf Clubhead Speed: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis (Sports Medicine, 2024): Analyzed 20 peer-reviewed studies involving golfers from amateur to professional tour players.Associations and Within-Group Differences in Physical Characteristics and Golf Performance Data in High-level Amateur Players (Applied Sciences, 2024), specifically assessed how physical tests relate to golf performance.Although we have to recognize every golfer is unique, recent findings strongly indicate that focusing on explosive strength, especially in your lower and upper body, will help your quest for more clubhead speed.
How high can you jump? It turns out that the higher you can jump, the easier it may be to increase your clubhead speed.
“Jump impulse” (the force you apply quickly into the ground) had the strongest connection with higher clubhead speeds. Exercises to improve your jump impulse include the Squat Jump where you squat first, pause briefly and then explode upward as high as possible.
