"The Miracle at Medinah" refers to the incredible comeback by Team Europe during the 2012 Ryder Cup, held at the Medinah Country Club in Illinois, USA. Here's a summary of this remarkable event:

In the final day of the Ryder Cup, Team Europe, captained by José María Olazábal, found themselves trailing Team USA, captained by Davis Love III, by a score of 10-6 heading into the singles matches. With 12 singles matches remaining, Team Europe needed to secure 8 points out of 12 to retain the cup, while Team USA needed only 4 points to win.

The European team began their comeback in dramatic fashion, with several players making incredible shots and clutch putts. One of the most memorable moments came from Justin Rose, who holed a 35-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole to defeat Phil Mickelson. This victory sparked a series of wins for the European team, with players like Ian Poulter, Luke Donald, and Sergio Garcia delivering exceptional performances.

Sergio Garcia's shot on the 16th hole added to the excitement. Facing a difficult approach shot from the fairway bunker, Garcia struck an outstanding iron shot that landed just inches from the hole, securing a birdie. His impressive play boosted the European team's morale and put them in a favorable position.

The pressure continued to build as the matches progressed, and it all came down to the final singles match between Martin Kaymer and Steve Stricker. With the match tied on the 18th hole, Kaymer sank a crucial putt to secure the half-point needed for Europe to retain the Ryder Cup. The European team had staged an extraordinary comeback, winning 8.5 out of the 12 points available and securing a stunning victory with a final score of 14.5 to 13.5.

Are you the type of golfer who ties and then reties your shoes several times throughout the course of a round? If you are picky about the fit and that little bit of snugness in your shoes, a BOA golf shoe could be a really good solution. Before you invest in BOA shoes, here are a few things to know and some of our favorite BOA shoes. 

What is BOA on a golf shoe?

The BOA fit is a unique technology that helps golfers (and other athletes) get the perfect fit in their shoes. Every BOA shoe has a dial that allows you to tighten or loosen the laces to achieve ideal pressure and stability. 

With BOA technology in place, it’s much easier to get your shoes on and adjust the fit while on the course. 

Are BOA golf shoes good?

BOA golf shoes are good for players who continually adjust their shoelaces. In addition, if you have some speed in your swing and your movements tend to loosen your shoes throughout a round, BOA golf shoes are a good choice. BOA golf shoes combine comfort, performance and practicality. 

BOA Golf Shoes To Try 

If you are ready to make the leap into the BOA golf shoe technology, here are a few pairs to try and some of our results when we tested them.

The Problem

Taking videos of your swing to help you improve and see what changes need to be made is one of the ways golfers can improve. But it is not a straightforward process. Asking a friend or someone at the range to take a video or awkwardly setting your phone up against your bag or on the ground can make it tough to find the right framing and consistency in your videos. 

The Solution

The SelfieGOLF phone holder! A dual- or even triple-clip device that works with your phone, bag, clubs and more to ensure setup is simple and easy to get perfect framing every time. 

Selfie Golf – How I Found It

A while back, I made an “Improve My Swing” thread on the MyGolfSpy Forum and posted videos and photos of my swing for the community to provide feedback on. In all of those photos and videos, I used a classic bendy tripod. It worked fine but setup was always awkward and, more often than not, I had an angle that was too low or I was having to spend too much time going back and forth adjusting the angle to frame the shot correctly. 

In an effort to better this experience and process, off I went to Amazon to see what was there. 

The SelfieGOLF phone holder popped up top of the list with a ton of reviews and at a reasonable price of $29.99. Seemed to be worth a shot so an order was placed and a little SelfieGOLF box arrived.
