Golfing News & Blog Articles

In September 2021, ShotScope offered MyGolfSpy readers an opportunity to play and test the Shot Scope V3 GPS and performance tracking watch.

But the divide between golfers who want to get better and those who are willing to put in the work to get better is vast.

Regardless of where you sit on the “want to/will do the work” continuum, we can agree that knowing is better than guessing. As a group, golfers tend to overestimate ability and conveniently excuse mistakes. Hell, even professionals think they hit the ball further than they actually do and Jack Nicklaus quipped, “I never missed a putt in my mind.”

So whether you’re looking to break 80 for the first time or breach the single-digit handicap barrier, it’s vital to confront the brutal facts of what you do well—and where you need to improve.

With that, we selected three members of the testing pool to track throughout this year. Based on several months of performance tracking, Shot Scope identified target areas for improvement in 2022.

- Hyo Joo Kim staved off a late charge from Hinako Shibuno to win the LPGA Tour's LOTTE Championship on Saturday.

Tyson Alexander rallied to win the Veritex Bank Championship by two strokes on Sunday, becoming the first player in Korn Ferry Tour history to successfully defend a title.

Harold Varner III made eight birdies in a bogey-free round of 63 to take a one-shot lead at the RBC Heritage on Saturday.

Hyo Joo Kim rallied with two late birdies for an even-par 72 to maintain a three-stroke lead Friday in the LPGA Tour's LOTTE Championship.

FedEx Cup champion Patrick Cantlay birdied the final four holes Friday for a 4-under 67 and took a two-stroke lead over Robert Streb halfway through the RBC Heritage.

Golfer Morgan Hoffmann, who was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy in 2017 and hasn't participated in a PGA Tour event since 2019, has missed the cut at the RBC Heritage. "I definitely wanted to prove to myself that I could do it again," he said.

Edel Golf just announced the addition of the 1.5 model to their EAS (Edel Alignment System) putter line.

Granted, I find significance in every putter release but you may be wondering why this new Edel EAS 1.5 merits your attention. I hope to sate your wonder by exploring it from a couple of perspectives.

First, its appearance gives us the opportunity to become reacquainted with the Edel EAS putter line and Edel putter fittings. Second, we shall dive into how this new 1.5 model fits relative to the existing the line-up. I’d say it kind of fits with its kin. In fact, this putter disturbs the production paradigm of the other EAS putters. Let us start the Edel education and metal machinations forthwith.

Edel EAS putters: Fitting comes first

Ten years ago, Japanese shaft manufacturer Nippon debuted the N.S. PRO MODUS line of golf shafts. Now, with the addition of MODUS Tour 115, the resumé is starting to feel more complete.

According to Nippon, N.S. PRO MODUS Tour shafts are designed to address the exacting requirements of elite professional and competitive amateur golfers.

With that, MODUS Tour 115 is the fifth (and perhaps final) model in the MODUS family of shafts.

That said, we need testers like you to assess, and report back to us here at MyGolfSpy!

The COBRA KING Forged TEC iron family now includes two models.The standard Forged TEC slants towards the better player.Forged TEC X is suitable for 10 to 20 handicaps.Retail price is $1,199. Available April 29.

The new KING Forged TEC and Forged TEC X are the best COBRA irons ever.

I originally had an expletive in that sentence but I took it out because not everyone appreciates my potty mouth. Point is, they’re really f$*king good. Full transparency: That’s my opinion. I don’t have any data—at least none beyond what COBRA provided—to back that up but, after a plus or minus decade-long streak of being pretty meh on COBRA irons, I’m anything but. And that’s exciting.

Seriously. I’m juiced.

If you’re unfamiliar with KING Forged TEC, it’s COBRA’s every two-years-or-so entry in the player’s distance category. With the previous generation, COBRA made the jump to hollow-body construction to compete more directly with P790s of the world. The plan was fundamentally good but the feel was just OK and, cosmetically, as Tiger Woods said in a recent post-round interview, “Well …”.

Hyo Joo Kim took a three-shot lead after her second round of 67 on Thursday at the Lotte Championship in Hawaii.

Australian golfing great Jack Newton, who has died aged 72, is being hailed as a trailblazer and fearless competitor who leaves a lasting legacy on his sport.

Cameron Young shot an 8-under 63 on Thursday to take the first-round lead in his RBC Heritage debut.

After Thursday's wrist surgery, Bryson DeChambeau said he looks "forward to competing at the highest level within the next two months."

Tiger Woods has committed to play in the JP McManus Pro-Am in Ireland, held 10 days before the start of The Open.
