Seth Waugh, hired as CEO of the PGA of America in 2017, is leaving his post but will stay on as a senior advisor. "The game has never been in better shape," he said.

Over the years we have seen amazing performances by Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods GOAT-(Greatest Of All Time) and now the new blood like Scottie Scheffler perform at a level so much better than other golfers. As they age their skills drop off but we should all learn to enjoy golf with the energy and skills that we have learned. Don’t let anger over a missed shot kill your game.

Bad Breaks Should not Kill Your Next Shot
Bad breaks, like hitting a branch or landing in a trap happen. Yes it would have been nice to miss those problems but there is nothing you can do to change the result. What you can change is the reaction for your next shot. Great golfers don’t swing their club in disgust. They step back, appraise their mistake, make the right practice swing and get ready for the next shot. They move on mentally with a fresh frame of mind.

Let Your Hands and Club do Their Work
Your hands make or break your next shot. They need to square your club face and add speed to the release through impact. Flatten your wrists in the backswing to shallow and square your club face with the plane of the back of your hand. Relax your wrists at the top of your swing to let your club add lag that will release with a whipping action AND SPEED at the bottom of your swing.

Scottie Creates Relaxation During his Pre-shot Routine
He plans his shot and then moves into a CALM MIND AND BODY to execute the shot that he wants. Whether he is driving, launching an iron or putting he visualizes the path that he wants his ball to take before he executes his swing. He know what he wants and can do.

Make the Best of a Bad Lie and Hit Shots that You have Practiced
Learn from the reaction that you saw so many pros take throughout their games at Pinehurst #2. Scottie’s game was not great during the US Open but he kept a “good head” and was able to bounce back on many holes. Build confidence with shots that you know you can make.

Four years after releasing their most innovative rangefinder to date, Garmin is re-upping its laser game with a new rangefinder, the Garmin Z30 … this one may be even better!

While the Z30 boasts the typical rangefinder features (6x zoom, up to 400 yards of range), it’s the integration with Garmin’s GPS watches that makes the Z30 so unique and powerful.

Garmin isn’t just creating golf products: They’re making a golf ecosystem, all in the name of helping you play better golf.

Here’s what you need to know about the new Z30 Rangefinder and how the new Range Relay technology seeks to change your game.

Range Relay

The big tech story for the Garmin Z30 Rangefinder is what they call Range Relay. This feature is designed to further connect your new Z30 to your other Garmin devices, such as the award-winning Approach S70 Golf GPS Watch.

Last week, I attended my first LIV event.

While the overall experience exceeded my expectations, there were a few parts of the day that made me do a double-take. Strange doesn’t necessarily mean bad—these are just some things that caught my attention.

Here are five odd and interesting things I saw at LIV Nashville.

1. A “Game Of Thrones” Golf Chair

In the center of the fan village, I found a “Game Of Thrones” golf chair where a volunteer was taking photos of fans sitting in the throne.

The chair, made out of golf clubs, features the logo of all 13 LIV teams.

TaylorMade is the king of collabs and they don’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon.

Weeks after the wildly successful Kith for TaylorMade drop, the Carlsbad-based brand is teaming up with a luxury shoemaker for a casual, classy pair of kicks.

Introducing Oliver Cabell for TaylorMade. While perhaps not well known in golf circles, Oliver Cabell has made a name in the luxury footwear sector. The brand prides itself on making high-quality products from the best possible materials, something that surely resonated with TaylorMade.

The limited-edition capsule features two handcrafted leather sneakers as well as a range of premium socks. Both sneakers start with a white calfskin leather base that sits atop an Italian Margom rubber sole. The footbed and lining are also made from calfskin leather, a delicate touch that puts these handcrafted sneakers over the top.

I’m a sucker for anything made from real materials. Miss me with that fake stuff. I want real leather! Honestly, the price for the quality of materials you’re paying for here is pretty darn good. I’m impressed, Oliver Cabell.

PING has announced a new program that will allow owners of PING G430 MAX 10 HL drivers to exchange their driver for the standard (non-HL) version.

For the uninitiated, the HL is the lightweight version of the G430 MAX 10K driver. The design spec is achieved by using a lighter backweight in an otherwise standard MAX 10K head.

The important detail in all of this is that MOI (moment of inertia) is the basis for the 10K name (and the related performance claims). MOI is, in part, a function of weight, and with the lighter weight of the HL build, the driver doesn’t quite cross the 10K inertia line.

Understandably, not every golfer understood that.

While I’m going to tell you that buying a driver because of a static MOI number is a little silly, I’m also sure that more than a few golfers did. My thinking is that whether the MOI is a little over 10k or a little under 10K it’s still an outstanding performer, and that’s what matters

By now we’re quite sure you’ve seen the new Vice Golf irons and wedges (and putters).

This is unless you live in a cave or have somehow managed to navigate the worldwide web without accidentally stumbling upon Facebook, Instagram or the short-form social media site formerly known as Twitter.

The direct-to-consumer golf ball company based in Munich, Germany, is officially joining the ranks of DTC club sellers. Vice’s new irons, wedges and putters are creating some buzz on the interweb, but they’re shrouded in a heapin’ helpin’ of mystery. We haven’t received our samples yet but, like you, we’re quite anxious to see what the company has come up with.

We have many questions about the new Vice clubs. Are they any good? Are they priced reasonably? Do they perform? But maybe the most important questions are why would Vice choose to enter the equipment end of the game and how do they plan to differentiate?

We’ll give them a good going-over once the samples come in. The MyGolfSpy Forum, meanwhile, has just kicked off a Forum Member Test for the new Vice irons. But, for now, let’s focus on just what these irons are, how they came to be and why Vice thinks its equipment is ready for “prime time.”
