Golfers love to debate performance versus price. You’ll hear someone say, “I play with a Tour Edge driver because I can’t justify the cost of a Callaway Triple Diamond.” For many, performance isn’t everything; it’s performance for the price.
But what if the performance for the price is the best that’s out there? What if a cheaper putter actually outperformed premium options?
That’s exactly what happened in the 2025 Best Mallet Putter Testing. The $129 Wilson Infinite Buckingham didn’t just hold its own. It won.

Finding time to practice your golf game can be a challenge but, through data, we can help you get the most out of every session.
Picture this: You finally carved out some time to work on your game. Maybe it’s a Tuesday evening after work or a quiet Saturday morning. You’ve got an hour to practice and you want to make it count. Where do you head?
If you’re like most golfers, you probably grab a large bucket and make a beeline for the driving range. Makes sense, right? Work on that swing, groove some fundamentals, maybe try to add a few yards.
Here’s the thing: you might be practicing the wrong stuff.
Our friends at Shot Scope have recorded more than 400 million on-course shots from golfers around the world. That’s a lot of data and it tells a pretty clear story about where golfers actually play most of their shots.



Golf practice can get boring. Even if you love spending time on the range, the repetition can wear you down. I’ve always found that adding a layer of challenge or feedback can transform a dull session into something engaging and maybe even productive. If you want a little more motivation to practice, these five training aids offer interactive drills, real-time feedback and even games to keep things fresh.
Here are five of the best golf training aids that make practice more fun.
HackMotion
HackMotion is a wrist sensor and training system. They have recently started incorporating drills into the app, and the drills are interactive. If you like being told if your practice is correct or incorrect, this could be a good system for you.
The built-in drills are more like challenges or games where you try to manufacture the correct position in your hands and wrists. When you do it correctly, you get positive feedback. When you do it incorrectly, you’ll be notified so you can make adjustments.
Instead of guessing if your release or wrist angles are improving, HackMotion shows you instantly. Players can compete against themselves to hit targets more consistently.

When Luke Kwon won the inaugural Creator Classic a year ago, there were more than 118,000 people watching live on the PGA Tour’s YouTube channel as he sunk the winning putt.
This year? Only 27,000 people were streaming live on the Tour’s channel as Brad Dalke claimed the title with a birdie on the first playoff hole.
That dramatic decrease in live viewership underscores how the Creator Classic will have to continue evolving in order to hold our collective attention.
I was a big fan of the first edition we saw in 2024, writing that my impressions were overwhelmingly positive. The format was cool and there seemed to be a lot of positive energy around the event given a star-studded field of creators.
The second showing at TPC Sawgrass, won by Grant Horvat, was also a strong showing. I noted how there were still some tweaks to be made in order to keep things fresh—but the Creator Classic had a solid formula and plenty of buzz.

Golf, a sport enjoyed by millions worldwide, boasts a rich and fascinating history. Its origins are often debated, but most historians agree that a form of the game was played in Scotland as early as the 15th century.
Early Beginnings in Scotland
The first documented mention of golf comes from a 1457 Act of the Scottish Parliament, which banned the game because it was distracting men from archery practice, a vital skill for national defense. Despite the ban, the popularity of golf continued to grow, leading to further bans in 1471 and 1491.
The Rise of St. Andrews
St. Andrews, often referred to as the "Home of Golf," played a pivotal role in the sport's development. The Old Course at St. Andrews is believed to have been established in the 15th century, though the exact date is unknown. The earliest record of golf being played there dates back to 1552.
