Golfing News & Blog Articles

The CJ Cup is on the move again in America, this year shifting across the country from Las Vegas to South Carolina.

As the LIV golf tour makes its debut in the United States, sportsbooks in various states have had different approaches to allowing betting action on events.

jQuery(document).ready(function($) { var slides = $('#mgs_gallery_220875 .mgs-gallery-images .mgs-gallery-image').length; if ( slides 6 ) { slides = 6; } $('#mgs_gallery_220875 .mgs-gallery-images').slick({ slidesToShow: 1, slidesToScroll: 1, fade: true, prevArrow: '', nextArrow: '', asNavFor: '#mgs_gallery_220875 .mgs-gallery-thumbs', swipe: false, }); $('#mgs_gallery_220875 .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_220875 .mgs-gallery-images', centerMode: true, focusOnSelect: true, infinite: true, responsive: [ { breakpoint: 1023, settings: { slidesToShow: 3, } }, { breakpoint: 600, settings: { slidesToShow: 1, } }, ] }); $('#mgs_gallery_220875').magnificPopup({ delegate: '.mgs-gallery-trigger', type: 'image', gallery: { enabled:true, arrowMarkup: '', } }); });

PRECISION PRO

Precision Pro has been one of the main rangefinder companies on the market thanks to its quality and price point. Their rangefinders range from $199 to $320 which is a hell of a deal compared to other companies. You will be looking at $600 for something that might not have the same capabilities as a Precision Pro R1.

Precision Pro has just announced the NEW NX10 rangefinder. It has some upgrades that might make you think about switching your rangefinder. And Precision Pro offers free batteries for life!

The main question: How does it compare to its brother, the NX9 Slope?

NEW NX10 – GET YOUR CUSTOMIZE ON

One of the main features of the New NX1o is its customizable capabilities.

The Precision Pro NX10 has interchangeable “skins” which is the plastic part that wraps around the rangefinder. The unit comes with a stock white color skin but if you want anything different that matches your personality, it can be ordered for a $10 up-charge. Those who want something more can upgrade to limited-edition sets for an extra $20. Some of the limited-edition designs include No Laying Up, The Fried Egg, Random Golf Club and more. These popular designs will be released throughout the year so keep your eye out for these beauties. 

MyGolfSpy Ball Lab is where we quantify the quality and consistency of the golf balls on the market to help you find the best ball for your money. Today, we’re taking a look at the 2022 Wilson Triad. To learn more about our test process, how we define “bad” balls, check out our About MyGolfSpy Ball Lab page.

About the Wilson Triad

Like Wilson’s other premium offering (Staff Model), the three-piece Triad is manufactured by Foremost in Taiwan. As we’ve noted before, while our testing shows that Foremost is the quality leader among the Asian factories (at least among those we’ve tested balls from), it’s not always perfect. That said, both Wilson and Maxfli (owned by DICK’S Sporting Goods) have told us they have a  higher quality standard than other Foremost offerings and, while that’s the kind of thing we hear a lot, the data suggests they might just be telling the truth.

Compression

On our gauge, the Wilson Triad has an average compression of 86. While Wilson has compared the Triad to the Chrome Soft, TOUR B RX line and the Q-STAR Tour, those balls are 10 to 20 points softer than the Wilson offering. In our estimation, it fits better alongside the Pro V1 and the long list of other balls that fall on the softer end of Tour-level compression. Within the entirety of our database, the Triad qualifies as firm.

Brooks Koepka said ahead of his first LIV Golf tournament that he didn't agree to join the series until after he played in the U.S. Open, and that a simple change of opinion, coupled with more time to physically recover, led to the move.

As part of an extended partnership between the PGA Tour and European tour through 2035, the leading 10 players from the European tour will get PGA Tour cards. Also returning will be a direct path to the PGA Tour through Q-school.

Red Rooster Gloves is the answer to an age-old question you may have never asked yourself. As in:

What do you get when you cross two Canadians – one a pro golfer and one a serial entrepreneur – with a big red chicken?

The answer should be obvious: Red Rooster gloves.

“I used to have red hair, and my dad used to call me the Red Rooster,” says co-founder Kerry Moher. “We tried to come up with ‘golfy’ names for the company. I threw Red Rooster Gloves into the mix when we started. If we could come up with something better, we’d use it.”

Starting a business during a worldwide pandemic/supply chain nightmare isn’t easy, but Moher and his partner and longtime friend/former PGA Tour pro Brad Fritsch have seemingly pulled it off.

Does Scottie Scheffler, Cameron Smith, Justin Thomas or Jon Rahm get your vote for the 2022 ESPYS?

OUR JOB IS YOUR GAME

Here are the results of our 2022 Most Wanted utility iron test.

Utility irons are not everyone’s cup of tea. But if a utility iron suits your game, it can be extremely beneficial.

Read on to find out if a utility iron can help your game.

MOST WANTED SCORING

We have reformulated our 2022 Most Wanted results to a 100-point scoring system. This new system better identifies golf clubs to potentially help you shoot lower scores.

For utility irons, we’ve split our key metrics into three categories: accuracy, forgiveness and distance. Each category is weighted through proprietary methodologies.

Padraig Harrington holed a 30-foot birdie putt on the 15th right when the last of his five-shot lead was about to vanish, and he closed with three tough pars for a 1-over 72 to hold off Steve Stricker and win the U.S. Senior Open on Sunday.

Xander Schauffele finished with a 2-under 68 at TPC River Highlands on Sunday to beat Sahith Theegala and J.T. Poston by two strokes in the Travelers Championship.

Matthew Wolff, among the most popular young players on the PGA Tour, is departing for the LIV Golf Invitational Series, sources confirmed.
