Here’s something we can all agree on: golf in wet conditions sucks.

Morning dew, light rain, soft fairways that leave your ball looking like a chocolate chip cookie—these aren’t just minor inconveniences. They fundamentally alter how your golf ball performs and, if you’re playing a two-piece Surlyn ball, you’re pretty much at the mercy of whatever Mother Nature decides to throw at you.

Bridgestone Golf thinks it has an answer to that problem.

The new e12 SPLASH features what the company calls RPL-X Hydrophobic Coating. In plain English, it’s designed to repel water and prevent mud balls from turning your round into a guessing game.

We’ve talked about hydrophobicity in wedges for years. The same concept has come to the golf ball world.

After 40 years, Tour Edge is evolving—or, at least, starting to. You may have noticed the new logo which is meant to signal the company’s embrace of “a bold new chapter for the Tour Edge brand.”

Tour Edge says its evolving “visually, strategically, and technologically to meet the demands of today’s game and tomorrow’s golfers.”

I suppose that’s where the new golf ball fits in.

Evolution, however, takes time. So while a new Exotics metalwood lineup for 2026 offers three distinct driver designs (LS, Max, Lite), matching fairway woods and a new Max Hybrid, there’s not much overtly evolutionary in the designs. With new models and subtle technology upgrades, the 2026 Exotics metalwoods lineup attempts to cover every conceivable golfer type, although it raises some interesting questions about what Tour Edge is prioritizing during Phase 1 of its rebrand.

Three drivers

The heart of Tour Edge’s new offering is a trio of drivers that couldn’t be more different from each other if they tried (and it kinda feels like they did).

Here’s a truth that golf needs to reckon with: nothing divides golfers quite like music on the course. Not slow play. Not mulligans. Not even the proper interpretation of Rule 18-2b.

Music.

For some golfers, a Bluetooth speaker has become as essential as tees and a ball marker. It’s the soundtrack to a casual Saturday round with friends, a way to keep energy up during a five-hour slog or simply how they’ve always enjoyed recreational golf.

For others, it’s the audio equivalent of showing up to a wine tasting in jorts and a Monster Energy hat. It’s proof that golf’s traditional values have been overrun by the same crowds who turned the Bethpage Ryder Cup into what looked like a tailgate party that accidentally wandered onto a golf course. These golfers would rather play 18 holes in complete silence than endure a single bar of “Hit Em Up” echoing from three fairways over.

There is no middle ground on this topic. You either think music belongs on the course or you’re pretty sure it signals the end of civilization as we know it.

Let’s talk about something most of us never think to pencil into the calendar.

A break.

Life piles on. Deadlines, bills, soccer practice, dance recitals, tee times, date nights. The constant buzz of bad news and headlines. We tell ourselves to keep grinding and we usually do, until the wheels start to fall off.

That’s why we’re hitting pause for Mental Health Week. No emails, no meetings, no overflowing notifications with “urgent” subject lines. Just space and time to breathe. Some of us will play some golf. Others will hike, fish, hang with the kids or finally take that nap in the hammock we hung up last summer.

Some will do nothing at all. And that’s the point.
