It’s easy to overlook the Cleveland HB SOFT 2 putter lineup.

After all, it’s way more fun to wail, moan and gnash our teeth at the latest big-ticket putter from Scotty Cameron, Bettinardi or whomever. Cleveland, meanwhile, continues to release flatsticks under $200 that flat-out perform.

That’s why we’re taking a long – and I do mean looooong – look at three new additions to the Cleveland HB SOFT 2 family of putters. Specifically, Cleveland is adding two 38-inch counterbalanced models to the lineup, along with a 48-inch “broom-style” putter.

In case you’re wondering, Cleveland is closing in on 40 putter models in its stable ranging in price from $149.99 to $249.99. I don’t care who you are, that’s a lot.

So why add long putters to the mix? Well, if you’re Cleveland Golf, why the hell not?

“Free golf balls” may sound too good to be true but if you’re willing to buy in bulk, it’s a real possibility. Right now, some of the top brands are competing to get golfers to purchase balls in bulk to be ready for the season. If you are ready to stock up, now’s the time to do it on some of these limited-time “free” golf ball deals.

The best “Buy 3, Get 1 Free” deals

For each of these deals, you buy four dozen and get one for free. Most require you to put all four dozen in the cart. The Callaway deals are a little different. They are sold as a pack of four dozen and the price is already discounted to reflect getting one dozen for free.

Most of the premium models are priced about the same but adding personalization can increase the overall prices.

The best “Buy 2, Get 1 Free” deals

You’ll notice that many deals where you get a dozen free golf balls are for premium golf balls. A few other companies offer these deals where you only have to purchase two dozen and you end up with one free.

A golf bag can be more than just a place to store clubs. Instead it can represent and showcase  a golfer’s personality, style and connection to the game. With the Anyday Patron Only Edition, Ghost Golf has taken its stellar Anyday 5.0 Stand Bag and given it an elevated, refined look with subtle nods to one of golf’s most iconic events. While the core functionality remains the same as the standard Anyday 5.0, it is the attention to detail that sets this edition apart.

If you have read my previous thoughts on the MyGolfSpy Forum about the Ghost Golf Anyday 5.0, you already know I am a big fan of the design and performance of this bag. It is durable, well-constructed  and packed with thoughtful features. It is not the lightest stand bag on the market and the price point is definitely on the premium side but in terms of quality, it delivers. However, this Patrons Only edition is the first true limited-edition offering from Ghost Golf so let’s dive into what makes it stand out.

A colorway that gets it right

First impressions? The color scheme is perfection. The tan base gives it a classic, timeless feel, while the green and yellow accents provide a subtle yet distinct nod to Augusta National and the Masters. The balance here is key. Ghost Golf did not overdo it. Some special-edition golf gear leans too heavily into themes, making them feel gimmicky, but this bag gets it just right. The green and yellow pop in a way that is noticeable without being overwhelming which makes the entire design feel sophisticated rather than flashy.

Attention to detail that sets it apart

Beyond the gorgeous colorway, the small details make this bag stand out even more.

Azalea-lined pockets. This is one of the standout little touches. The inside lining features an azalea pattern, a fitting tribute to one of the most recognizable features of Augusta.Custom zipper tags. Instead of standard zippers, Ghost Golf upgraded them with yellow highlights including both plastic and ribbon-style pulls. A small touch but one that ties into the theme beautifully.Interior branding and patterning. The Ghost Golf interior lining carries the same azalea pattern across both sides and extends to the bottom section of the bag, keeping the design consistent throughout.Perforated leather and yellow stitching. This might be my favorite part. The perforated leather with contrasting yellow stitching gives the bag an added layer of class. It stands out just enough to make an impact but not so much that it feels excessive. Simply put, it offers a great balance to make the bag standout in a classy and subtle manner.

7-way versus 14-way top: Which to choose?

For this bag, I went with the seven-way top and I have to say I have really been enjoying it. It does feel a little lighter than the 14-way version but not much. The club organization is still solid and everything fits comfortably. Honestly, there is no wrong choice between the two. It just comes down to whether you prefer a little more separation with a 14-way or the slight weight savings of the seven-way.
