Say what you want about Bryson DeChambeau but he offers more actionable advice and insight than any other professional golfer.

This video where Bryson gives a 14-year-old golfer a lesson is one of my favorites. It offers some harsh realities about what it takes to get good at golf but if you’re anything like me, it will make you want to head to the range and work on your game with a new outlook.

A little background

Most amateur golfers don’t know how to practice. Bryson admits he would spend eight hours practicing with little to no direction when he was a junior. He wasn’t making much measurable progress and that’s when he transformed his practice to make it more efficient, measurable and, ultimately, effective.

It’s not about the one good shot (You have to repeat it)

Yes, the one good shot feels great but if you can’t repeat it, what’s the point? If you want to take your game to the next level, you’ll have to be able to hit the same type of shot five times in a row.

It’s a lot harder than you think.

Do you reach for your 7-iron every time you hit the range? Is it your most-used club during a round?

As golfers track more stats and data, they pay closer attention to the yardages they hit from most often. Those are the ones worth practicing. If you don’t track your game but want to practice more effectively, this Shot Scope data can help you focus on the distances that will have the biggest impact on your score.

A look at the numbers

The graph below shows the number of shots hit from different yardages per round. The data excludes tee shots because all golfers will need to hit those. In addition, it’s worth noting that we have excluded putts for the shots in the 25 yards and less category.

From the plotted lines, you can see that regardless of your handicap, the majority of shots you will hit in any given round are those less than 50 yards from the hole. When practicing longer shots, the 200-plus yardage is another area to work on for those longer par-4a and approaches on a par-5.

If you need yet another reason to convince yourself that the short game is truly the most important part of the game, this chart should do it.

Let’s talk about limited-edition golf gear. You know the stuff. Major-themed releases, co-branded headcovers, high-end wedges with a fancy new finish, a driver that costs more just because it’s got a special logo or paint job. Every year, brands roll out these exclusive drops and, every year, golfers line up or rush to websites to get them.

But here’s the question: Is it all worth it? Are these rare releases something special or are we just getting played by marketing hype? Let’s break it down like a group of golfers kicking back after a round, debating the latest gear.

The appeal: It’s cool, it’s exclusive and often looks fantastic.

There’s something about owning a piece of gear that not everyone has. Whether it’s a Masters-inspired bag, a special-edition Scotty Cameron or a custom F1 collab driver, these drops bring a level of exclusivity that feels different. And let’s be honest, they usually look awesome. Having a rare club or a one-of-a-kind cover in the bag? That’s a conversation starter.

For some golfers, it’s not just about performance but rather about collecting something unique. Maybe it’s a putter that celebrates a major win or a wedge stamped with a design that’s never coming back. If you’re into golf history or just like cool gear, it’s easy to see the appeal. But is that feeling of exclusivity worth the price tag?

The skepticism: Paying extra for what exactly?

Then there’s the other side of this debate for the golfers who look at these drops and say, “Really? It’s the same club with a new paint job.” Let’s be real. Most limited-edition clubs aren’t actually different in performance. That driver with the special finish? It’s the same head as the stock model. That putter with the cool engraving? It rolls the same as the one at your local shop.
