TESTERS WANTED – SHOT SCOPE PRO LX+ RANGEFINDER

Ever wanted to contribute to the data MyGolfSpy collects over the course of the season?

Welcome to Testers Wanted where we recruit readers like you for objective feedback on products that roll into HQ throughout the year!

Earlier this year, Shot Scope released a suite of stat-tracking accoutrements aimed at the golfer who wants all of the data but would rather not wear a watch. Generally, it’s the same player who prefers to reserve precious pocket space for tees, ball markers and divot tools rather than a cell phone.

With that, we need testers like you to assess and report back to us at MyGolfSpy.

PING PLD Anser Patent 55 Limited Edition Putter

The PING PLD Anser Patent 55 is the second of four limited run putters PING is releasing in 2022This putter features fully machined stainless-steel construction.Only 55 are available at pingpld.com beginning Monday, June 13th, at an MSRP of $790.

On Monday, June 13th, PING releases the second in their 2022 PLD Limited Edition putters series. This time, the PLD Anser Patent 55 putter features fully machined, stainless-steel construction. Like its aluminum bronze predecessor that was released last March, this limited edition Anser commemorates both the creation of the Anser and PING’s continued innovation in golf equipment.

When it comes to golf equipment influence, the PING Man is no strawman. While the Anser is, without a doubt, Karsten Solheim’s crowning jewel design, it isn’t their only influential club design. PING designs have influenced every club that golfers carry in their bags. I bet some of you are still playing, or wish you were still playing, Eye 2 irons. Decades of designs that have lasted decades. There is a reason why Karsten Solheim is the only manufacturer to be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.

What does PLD stand for again?

PLD is short for Putting Lab Design. PLD is the central theme for all of PING’s putter releases this year. In addition to the four limited-run PLD Anser 55 putters, PING also released a retail line of PLD milled putters and began offering their previously tour-player-only PLD Custom program to the public. As I said, it’s all PLD all the time this year at PING.

LIV Golf London sights, sounds and leaderboard from Day 2

Stewart Golf Electric Trolleys: Follow the Leader

Stewart Golf electric trolleys aren’t the least expensive. But neither are they the most expensive.

But the company’s story—from its conception to three generations of engineers to its “handmade in the UK” ethos—makes it one of the more compelling things you’ll read today.

Unless, of course, Tiger reconsiders and decides to LIV it up with Phil and the gang.

In the electric trolley world, Stewart isn’t what you’d call a big player. Even its CEO doesn’t know the company’s market share. And what’s more, he doesn’t really care.

“We’re not really interested in volume,” says third-generation owner Mark Stewart. “The business case has to stack up but we enjoy doing this. We like designing products and we love playing golf. We make the products we’d like to buy.”

The Day That Will Live In Rich, Greedy And Egomaniacal Golf History

The members of the committee had played golf for many years but their experience in construction and greenkeeping was only that of the average club member. Looking back on the work, I feel certain that we would never have attempted to carry it out if we had realized one half the things we did not know.

The Curtis Cup At Merion Is Here!

Nature must always be the architect’s model. The lines of bunkers and greens must not be sharp or harsh, but easy and rolling. The development of the natural features and planning of artificial work to conform to them requires a great deal of care and forethought . . .it is good to have an eye for the beautiful. Often it is possible, by clearing away undesirable and unnecessary trees in the margin of fairways, to open up a view of some attractive picture. Strive to retain as much of the natural ground formation as possible. The most beautiful courses are the ones that hew most closely to nature. STANLEY THOMPSON
