PGA Merchandise Show 2010
I was hoping to make it down to Orlando or the big PGA Merchandise Show starting today, received my media credentials and all. But alas, the ‘real life’ work schedule unfortunately gets in the way. If you are unfamiliar with the PGA Merchandise Show, it is a show where companies in the golf space come to pitch their wares to PGA professionals around the country. Tons of new products are always introduced at this event and we hope to bring you some information about those releases.
Golf Gift Guide and Contest
We have done holiday gift guides in the past and focused on larger, more expensive golf items. This year we will touch on some of those, but will primarily focus on smaller gifts and stocking stuffers. So if you are not sure what to get that golfer in your life, hopefully we can help make that decision a little easier for you. If you have other gift ideas you would like to mention, feel free to let us know in the comments after the article! Be sure to read the entire article (or at least the last paragraph!) as we have a little contest for you
Review: TaylorMade Penta TP
Today we are going to have a look at the new TaylorMade Penta TP golf ball. When I first received these golf balls, I was sent a promotional Pentagonal box with 5 Penta TP golf balls, all labeled with the number 5. I heard they would sell for around $45. My first thought was: dear lord, $10 a golf ball?? My ‘blonde’ moment quickly passed as I realized they would be $45 a dozen, as are most of the premium golf balls on the market. As a player of the TM TP Red LDP ball, I was excited to try this out on the course.
Review: 2010 Sunice Jackets
We have looked at a number of golf specific jackets in the past, and always have liked the products we have seen from Sunice. Our most recent Sunice review was of the Hurricane Byron jacket. Today we are going to take a look at an update of the Sunice Ultimate Jacket (dubbed the Ultimate Jacket V2) as well as a women’s jacket, the Sophia.
Review: Ping G15 Driver
Another day, another PING review! So we recently had a look at the PING i15 Irons and the PING g15 hybrid. Today we are going to have a look at the big dog of the bag, the PING G15 Driver. I have seen a lot of G5 and G10 drivers in the bags of random playing partners over the years, and have been looking forward to getting my hands on a G15 driver for quite a while now. As always, we will start with a little background information and club specifications and then get on to the detailed review. Enjoy!
Review: Ping G15 Hybrid
Today we are going to have a look at the PING G15 Hybrid. We recently fell in love with the i15 irons from PING and were excited to check out the newly designed hybrid offering from PING. We figured we would first have a look at the more forgiving G series of hybrid, as well…if we are bagging a hybrid, we want something that will be easier to hit than the 3 iron we had been playing, right? So, as always, a little background info about the clubs and then on to our thoughts on this new hybrid.
Review: PING i15 Irons
Now, in 2009, PING has released the 15 line of clubs, including new i15 and G15 irons. It seems PING has listened to the feedback from their loyal customers and made some welcomed changes to the i15 line. Today we will have a closer look at the i15 irons. Over the next few weeks we will also be having a look at some of the other clubs in this new 15 line.
How to Save Money on Irons – Buy Used!
In the current economic climate, we’re all looking to save a buck wherever we can. The days of being carefree with our cash are in the rear view mirror. Do we really need to be shelling out $1000 for a set of irons today? Are the latest and greatest sets today worth the huge jump in price over irons released only a couple years ago? We will leave that up to you to decide, but today we will have a look back at some irons we reviewed in the past and give you some current pricing information. We think a lot of these sets offer an amazing value and a ton of technology. If you are playing a set of clubs that really need to be replaced, but have been hesitant to pull the trigger based on the cost of a new set…this might be a good option for you.
Recycled Golf Balls – KnetGolf Delivers
I don’t know about you, but when I think about recycled golf balls, I think about the little kid on the side of the 12th hole selling a dozen random, chewed up, mismatched golf balls for a buck. However, given today’s economic climate, more and more golfers are finding it difficult to spend $5 a ball for new premium golf balls like Titleist ProV1s. So for those of us who do not want to spend that kind of money, but still want the $5 performance, we have to look to alternatives. KnetGolf is in the business of selling recycled golf balls, and by all indications, they do a damn fine job of it.
Golfing at Sea Pines on Hilton Head Island
My wife’s birthday is in Mid-August and we decided to go on a little 4 day golf getaway to celebrate. Yes, I am lucky enough to be married to someone who loves golf nearly as much as I do! We had a few golf destinations in mind, but ultimately decided on Hilton Head as it is a pretty short flight from New Jersey and had some great deals. Some might think, South Carolina in August, are you crazy? Well, yeah, it was in the mid 80s…not so bad, but the humidity was insane. And here I thought it got humid in New Jersey…yeah right…when they say 100% humidity..they mean it.
