“Growing the game.” It’s a tired, overworked phrase. And I’m not entirely sure people really understand what it means.
Yeah, the game is experiencing a resurgence. Equipment companies, golf courses, retailers and teaching pros are all riding the COVID wave. Both the National Golf Foundation and the R&A are reporting impressive growth in participation and record-breaking numbers of rounds played.
Keeping that momentum rolling, however, will be the challenge. Part of it, of course, is making sure as many of the “new” golfers as possible stick with the game once the newness wears off.
The second part is keeping the pipeline filled with juniors.
Right now, that pipeline appears to be brimming. There’s The First Tee, of course. And there are plenty of private and public junior programs out there. But John Breaker, founder, inventor and guiding spirit of Birdie Ball, sees another avenue that could very well introduce the game on a completely separate level while helping kids have more fun in the process.

PUMA and Kygo’s Palm Tree Crew brand have partnered again.For the first time, COBRA is offering limited-edition putters to complement its LE drivers.The apparel collection is casual yet trendy.The PUMA X PTC Collection is available now.
I don’t quite understand the fascination in trendy circles with collabs. Maybe it’s because I’m old and maybe it’s because Chris Nickel’s MGS X RiFF RAFF idea hasn’t panned out (yet). Nevertheless, cross-pollination of brands—as is the case with Version 2 of PUMA X PTC—isn’t going to go away anytime soon. So I suppose we should try and embrace it.
Officially—as much as a headline is official—the 2022 PUMA X Palm Tree Crew collection is about “blending golf, sport, music and lifestyle into a chic collection designed to perform on the course and make a statement off of it.”
Isn’t golf is a sport? That small redundancy aside, I get it.
If some of this is lost on you, what you need to know is that Palm Tree Crew is the lifestyle brand of DJ, songwriter and record producer Kygo. If you’re not familiar with Kygo (and I wasn’t before the first collab launched last year), a quick YouTube search will bring you up to speed.
But you better be ready to fork over eight figures given the starting bid of $25,000 already has things nearing $600k with two weeks to go.
It’s quite a story:
In the 12 years since they first surfaced in the collector market in our 2010 auction, the Tiger Slam irons have been displayed privately in a Houston office complex - appreciated only by the occasional visitor with a passing interest in golf. Over the past several years, we have repeatedly pleaded with Brock to let us showcase them to the world. Yes, the collector market has matured a lot since the dark days of 2010. But it was never about the money, even though these clubs will likely reset the record books. Instead, it was about timing. When was the collector market finally ready to appreciate the value of the very best golf collectibles, and ready to appropriately appreciate Tiger Woods and his position in history.
After winning the 2001 Masters Tournament, Tiger held all 4 Major Championship titles at the same time - what we now call the Tiger Slam. 7 weeks later, at the Buick Classic at Westchester Country Club in New York, Titleist Director of Player Promotions Rick Nelson and Titleist VP of Player Promotions Steve Mata delivered to Tiger Woods the new set of irons and wedges that Titleist made for him. Tiger decided to put the new clubs into play that week, so Nelson brought Tiger's old clubs to the Titleist Tour Van to verify the specs of the new clubs would match his current gamers. Tiger then put those new clubs into play for the first time during the Wednesday Pro-Am that week. And the old clubs? The ones just used to complete the greatest feat on a golf course since Bobby Jones' Grand Slam in 1930? Tiger gave the clubs to Nelson and Mata, and Mata brought them home with him. It was widely known at Titleist, within Tiger's camp, and within the industry that Mata owned the Tiger Slam irons before he infamously put them up for auction in 2010.
Jin Young Ko shot a bogey-free 7-under 65 at Aviara Golf Club to take a one-stroke leader over Nanna Koerstz Madsen in the first round of the JTBC Classic on Thursday.
