Titleist has announced an Enhanced Alignment option for the Pro V1, Pro V1x and Pro V1x Left Dash.

Titleist isn’t going nuts or anything. This isn’t Truvis or Stripe (or Ink).

Enhanced Alignment provides a new choice for golfers seeking a pre-baked alignment aid beyond the side stamp or the more than 40 different alignment designs already available through Titleist’s golf ball customization program.

Do you like alignment aids?

I’m not sure where you stand but I’m an alignment aid guy. As I’ve intermittently struggled with my putting, I’ve tried almost everything from a single line to TP Pix with ClearPath, all the way to Callaway’s two-color Fade pattern.

Personally, I gravitate towards the bigger, bolder, can’t miss ‘em kind of designs, and while Titleist’s Enhanced Alignment isn’t quite as audacious as that, it strikes a reasonable balance between subtlety and utility.

While I consider myself a golf traditionalist in a lot of ways that are annoying to people, I think this call back to the past might have more support.

The PGA Championship being played this week at Valhalla used to be a match play tournament. For its first 39 years—until 1957—a stroke play qualifier led into a match play bracket to determine the champion. It took TV networks pressuring the PGA of America to force a change to 72 holes of stroke play, a format more conducive to advertising (more on that in a moment).

I think the tournament should go back to match play.

We don’t have nearly enough match play in professional golf on an individual level, especially now that the WGC Match Play Championship at Austin Country Club has ended. The PGA Championship switching formats would create an identity it has lacked for many years.

Will this actually happen? Probably not. But let me state my case.

Stewart Golf has extended its popular follow family of electric carts with the new Q Follow Carbon Range.

It might be a stretch to say that electric pushcarts are all the rage but one might say they’ve become the tiny houses of the golf world.

If you prefer the e-bike analogy, that’s fine, too.

What I’m driving (or no longer driving, as the case may be) at is that several of my laziest friends have moved from riding carts to electric carts, and while I’ve always been a walker, I prefer the freedom of follow mode to pushing.

My two-cents’ worth? Electric carts are the best way to carry your clubs.

The new Wilson Staff Model golf balls are a bit of a phenomenon.

We’re not talking about performance. Rather, it’s your interest in Wilson Staff products and specifically the new Staff Model golf balls. Soon after their release in January, you told us you wanted to know more.

Rest assured: A Ball Lab quality teardown is in the works. Also, know the Wilson Staff Model golf balls will be part of our next MyGolfSpy ball test. But it’s fascinating to note your interest far outpaces Wilson’s relative golf ball market share. We’re not sure what that means but it must mean something.

Today, let’s take a deep dive into how Wilson Staff Model golf balls came to be. If you’re a Rudyard Kipling fan, consider this a MyGolfSpy “Just So” story. But instead of Kipling telling his four-year-old daughter how the elephant got his trunk, we’ll share with you how the Staff Model got its dimples.

Among other things.

Just a few weekends ago, Mystik Dan took home the Kentucky Derby crown. The riveting horserace came down to a dramatic photo finish.

He’s not the only winner. Chalk one up for FootJoy!

Today, FootJoy released a collaboration with renowned fashion designer Todd Snyder. The “Mint Julep” Premiere Series, fittingly named for the cocktail of choice at the Kentucky Derby, arrives in time for the PGA Championship.

Sure, Mystik Dan stole the show, but FootJoy’s “Mint Julep” Premiere Series is every bit the stunner that the Kentuck Derby finish was. Seriously, if you can find a more breathtaking pair, let me know.

jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) { var slides = $( '#mgs_gallery_6643d0a56c836 .mgs-gallery-images .mgs-gallery-image' ).length; if ( slides 6 ) { slides = 6; } $( '#mgs_gallery_6643d0a56c836 .mgs-gallery-images' ).slick( { slidesToShow: 1, slidesToScroll: 1, fade: true, prevArrow: '', nextArrow: '', asNavFor: '#mgs_gallery_6643d0a56c836 .mgs-gallery-thumbs', swipe: false, mobileFirst: true, } ); $( '#mgs_gallery_6643d0a56c836 .mgs-gallery-thumbs' ).slick( { slidesToShow: ( slides - 1 ), //less than number of slides, so it always shows infinite scroll (bugfix) slidesToScroll: 1, arrows: false, asNavFor: '#mgs_gallery_6643d0a56c836 .mgs-gallery-images', centerMode: true, focusOnSelect: true, infinite: true, mobileFirst: true, responsive: [ { breakpoint: 1023, settings: { slidesToShow: 3, }, }, { breakpoint: 600, settings: { slidesToShow: 1, }, }, ], } ); $( '#mgs_gallery_6643d0a56c836' ).magnificPopup( { delegate: '.mgs-gallery-trigger', type: 'image', gallery: { enabled: true, arrowMarkup: '', }, } ); } );

Both the FootJoy Wilcox and Field models are elevated with classy patent leather and pastel “mint” pops of color. I’ve not had the pleasure of attending the Kentucky Derby but the elegance that exudes from each shoe seems to match the aura of those privileged to attend the popular event.

Jimmy Dunne, who last year helped negotiate the PGA Tour's controversial framework agreement with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, resigned from the tour's policy board on Monday, effective immediately.

Scottie Scheffler, who hasn't played since winning the RBC Heritage on April 22, arrived at the PGA Championship following the birth of his son, Bennett, on May 8.
