Each golf shot is a fresh new opportunity to deliver your ball to your target. You can’t do this without a methodical plan and response that works for you. I realize that very few golfers will ever achieve the distance and control of the male pros so I like to focus on the graceful swings of the female pro golfers. If they can consistently deliver drives that are controlled and over 250 yards, that should be good enough for 90% of all golfers who will never be scratch golfers.

When my game is going sideways, I have always been told that I’m swinging too hard. That’s exactly when I try to take control of my mind and body and place it in my own private box where I can take control of my takeaway tempo.

Slowing down your backswing gives you more time to complete a full shoulder rotation and wrist hinge for a 90-degree lag. Rush it and you will miss your opportunity for a great shot with less effort and an amazing result.

The Korda sisters, Nelly and Jessica, both have graceful swings. During a training session with their coach, Jamie Mulligan, they were asked how they controlled their takeaway. Nelly said that Jamie taught her to imagine that her club head is like a rock on the end of a string. She uses a slow acceleration through-out her backswing to create a graceful tempo (as she swing her rock away from the ground).

That’s a great image to help you create a wonderful tempo for your backswing. It will help you slow your transition and accelerate your downswing.

The Blue Bay LPGA tournament has been canceled for the third time in four years because of ongoing COVID-19 matters, the association said Tuesday night in a short statement released from its headquarters in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Bubba Watson, who competes in the LIV Golf League, said he was "very thankful" that he gets to return to the Masters this year.

A million square feet covered at the 2023 PGA Show to find you the best new products.

Every year hundreds, nay thousands, of products are on display at the Show in Orlando, Fla. A percentage of those can be found inside the dwindling (in both scale and number) booths of the big equipment manufacturers but there’s plenty that’s new and intriguing to be found in the booths of smaller companies. And with each passing year, more of those companies exist inside the digital wing of the golf equipment industry.

With that in mind, it isn’t any particular surprise that our “Best in Show” list is filled with entries from golf’s burgeoning technical age—though we did find a pair of putters with potential.

The gear on this list is largely innovative and each, in its own way, has the potential to reshape the how the game is accessed, studied and enjoyed.

Here are our picks for the best new golf products from the 2023 PGA Show.

A federal judge denied a request by LIV Golf to expand discovery in its antitrust lawsuit against the PGA Tour to include communication with 10 Augusta National members.

Pebble Beach, California, is the next stop on the 2023 PGA Tour for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Here is how you can watch all of the action.

Max Homa wins a thrilling Farmers at Torrey Pines. Rory McIlroy opens with a win for the first time ever. And CBS has a strong start to the PGA Tour season.

All that plus deep thoughts on the Reed rules situation and Mickelson’s lament of joggers.

The PGA-LIV beef gets a bit petty. Max Homa keeps playing well while Keegan Bradley and Rickie Fowler are also looking good. Here's what's happening on the PGA Tour.

The previously mallet-free Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K line now includes mallets.Specifically, the iconic Seven and Rossie designs have received the Tri-Hot 5K treatment.Available for preorder now, and in shops in February (MSRP: $399.99 USD)

Did the PGA Merchandise Show fill your belly with new release treats last week? Don’t push back from the table yet.

Odyssey has one more wafer-thin dessert mint.

You may remember Odyssey’s Tri-Hot 5K putter line from 2022. These were the multi-material putters that featured moment-of-inertia (MOI) values above 5,000. This may not seem significant as there are other mallet putters in your local shop above 5,000. The “gotcha” with the Tri-Hot 5K line was that all the high MOI putters were blades.

This year, Odyssey is adding mallets to the Tri-Hot 5K mix.

Yes, it is time for Seven and Rossie players to join the Tri-Hot 5K crew. Additionally, the Double Wide and Triple Wide models, which were arguably mallets anyway, gain new neck options this year. Not a huge line upgrade but one that should be welcome for many mallet players.
