It’s hard not to love the Ryder Cup. This is golf’s one true rivalry—a biennial match that lasts only three days but endures in the memory of golf fans for decades.

There are so many aspects of this event that make it golf’s grandest spectacle. One of my favorites is the dynamic of team uniforms.

Modern-day pro golfers generally dress conservatively. Are there any stylish golfers out there? At least players like Jason Day and Tony Finau are willing to experiment but they are the outliers.

In the Ryder Cup, those conservative style choices historically been thrown out the door in favor of outfits that range from drippy to downright hideous. This event has an extensive history of great style, although it’s outnumbered by the train wrecks.

In this article, I’m going to take you through some of my favorite disasters. Because, honestly, who doesn’t love to make fun of a terrible golf outfit?

I’m a big sneaker guy. Which means I’m also a big golf sneaker guy. I’ve got stuff from all the big brands. My sneaker closet is full of Jordan 1 golf shoes, New Balance 550 golf shoes, and even the new Sun Day Red Osprey.

But the sleeper pick that I don’t talk about all that much? Pluto Golf. I’ve written about them before, but the brand that has built a following solely (see what I did there?) on selling golf sneakers deserves some more love and attention.

The Pluto P1 is, in my estimation, everything that a good golf sneaker should be. They use high-quality materials (the leather is pretty darn good) have good insoles and some element of traction.

Outside of that, they look just like a pair of sneakers, which is the whole point after all.

And they’ve been making waves (albeit small) in the golf industry already. Heck, the other day I saw Bronny James rocking a pair. The budding golfer/NBA combo guard sees the vision. Do you?

If you’ve been watching, most gear prices are creeping up, yet many golf bags in testing this year still list at $300 or more. I reviewed some past MyGolfSpy golf bag testing results and dug up four bags that have recently dropped in price. If you need a new bag, here’s a shortlist with what makes each one worth a look.

OGIO Silencer

The OGIO Silencer is built like a tank. It has a padded valuables pocket, top-tier club protection and robust storage. In our 2025 cart bag testing, it earned a runner-up finish. The thing that sets the Silencer apart is its club protection and noise suppression. If you ride often, this bag delivers features that many others only promise.

Buy This If:

You often use a cart and want minimal club banging or rattling.You carry a lot of extras (rain gear, apparel, gadgets).You’ve held off because the price was previously too high and now it’s dropped enough.

Don’t Buy This If:

You walk most of your rounds Simplicity is what you want; too many features might feel like overkill.

Sun Mountain 2.5+

Sun Mountain’s 2.5+ has impressed in MGS’s “lightweight stand bags” category. Weighing about three pounds and with carbon fiber legs and a modest but efficient pocket layout, this bag is made to be carried. Tests show that it holds up and both the materials and stand system deliver good durability for a lightweight bag.

Three-putting is one of the fastest ways to inflate your scorecard. Sometimes it’s a flat-out misread but often the real cause is technical or even equipment-related. Shot Scope data from millions of tracked rounds shows that while scratch golfers three-putt just three percent of the time (≈0.8 per round), a 25-handicap golfer three-putts 13 percent of the time (≈5.8 per round). That’s a huge gap. Some of those mistakes may be avoidable.

1. Adding loft without realizing it

Your putter already has two to four degrees of loft. If you “add loft” at impact by flipping the wrists, the ball launches inconsistently and rolls different distances every time. Adding loft at impact kills distance control, the No. 1 cause of three putts.

Scratch golfers average 1.85 putts per green in regulation but that number rises to 2.18 for 25-handicaps, mostly because of poor distance control.

If you want to avoid issues with three-putting, keep the butt end of the putter slightly ahead of the face through impact. For a simple drill, rest the shaft against your lead forearm during practice strokes. This keeps loft delivery consistent and produces a true roll.

2. Never getting a putter fitting

Most golfers wouldn’t play a driver that doesn’t fit their swing speed but many use putters straight off the rack for years. Think about it: which do you use more often during a round? Loft, lie, shaft length and balance all affect roll. Without a fitting, your putter could be costing you strokes.
