I wanted to flip it on its head,” says Beach, who originally started one of the first golf commerce sites on the internet in the late 1990’s before selling and starting MyGolfSpy. “I wanted to make the cream of the crop rise to the top and all the other bullshit that had been peddled to golfers for decades go away.

NEW: Vessel Lux Cart Bag

If you pay attention, you will see Vessel golf bags on Tour every week. Now they are designing cart bags for the rest of us.

Vessel offers six stand bags, two cart bags and four staff-sized bags. But what made Vessel our No. 1 and No. 2 2022 Most Wanted Stand and Cart bag is the attention to detail.

The Lux Features

The Lux Cart Bag has a new color way that might grab your attention. It now comes in “coast” which is a nod to San Diego’s blue sky and ocean. The bag has the following features:

Magnetic, microfiber-lined pocket pod that fits over the cart strapTwo forward-facing zip pocketsTwo expandable water bottle sleeves with drainageLarge, cooler-lined pocket with drainage for increased beverage storagePremium waterproof zippers with water-repelling gussetsTwo antimicrobial-lined personal pockets for easy use on either side of a cartPadded single strapPadded back grab handleModern hook-and-loop umbrella holderDual-purpose towel ring/bottle openerMatching body material rain hoodRemovable ball pocket panel for personalizationNeoprene cart strap sleeve jQuery(document).ready(function($) { var slides = $('#mgs_gallery_220975 .mgs-gallery-images .mgs-gallery-image').length; if ( slides 6 ) { slides = 6; } $('#mgs_gallery_220975 .mgs-gallery-images').slick({ slidesToShow: 1, slidesToScroll: 1, fade: true, prevArrow: '', nextArrow: '', asNavFor: '#mgs_gallery_220975 .mgs-gallery-thumbs', swipe: false, }); $('#mgs_gallery_220975 .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_220975 .mgs-gallery-images', centerMode: true, focusOnSelect: true, infinite: true, responsive: [ { breakpoint: 1023, settings: { slidesToShow: 3, } }, { breakpoint: 600, settings: { slidesToShow: 1, } }, ] }); $('#mgs_gallery_220975').magnificPopup({ delegate: '.mgs-gallery-trigger', type: 'image', gallery: { enabled:true, arrowMarkup: '', } }); });

These are just some of the features of the Lux Cart Bag but where Vessel golf bags shine above the rest is the small details. For example, their water bottle holders are at the front of the bag on either side of the ball pocket. But they’re hard to notice because they fold down to follow the smooth lines of the bag when not in use. When you want to use them, they expand fully to fit a 20-ounce water bottle.

United States Ryder Cup team captain Zach Johnson has warned American golfers on the LIV Golf International Series they may not be picked for next year's tournament.

2022 Golf Ball Retriever Buyer’s Guide

Do you have a ball retriever? For some golfers, owning a golf ball retriever is a must.

We understand there’s a stigma attached to the golf ball retriever but sometimes owning one can save you money.

According to Golf.com, more than 300 million golf balls are lost every year in the U.S. alone. You could safely double that number when you take into account how many balls are lost around the world. We don’t know how many of those are just left lying in plain sight in water hazards (Sorry. “Penalty areas.”) because they can’t be reached without a retriever.

So it’s safe to say owning one of the golf ball retrievers could save you money. Hell, you might even come out with a profit by the end of your round.

Whether you’re looking to buy a golf ball retriever today, seeking buying advice to get started or just want a closer look at what’s on the market, this guide will help you find the right ball retriever.
