Golfing News & Blog Articles

I love golf gadgets and technology. Every year, companies work to innovate and find ways to help us improve our game. I wanted to find some of the coolest gadgets available for 2025 and this is what I’ve come up with. There’s a little something in here that can benefit every golfer so give it a look and see if something catches your eye!

Rokform Golf Shooter Pro

The Rokform Shooter Pro is one of the more solid monopod options I’ve seen to date. It’s built with an extra-stiff steel shaft to provide maximum stability in any weather conditions. MAGMAX magnets are created from n52 neodymium to hold your phone securely. The top attachment also connects via magnet so you can detach it and mount it to your golf cart for convenient transfer between shots. The coolest feature? A built-in wireless charger to keep your phone fully charged whether you’re playing or practicing.

Hackmotion

If you’re looking to make improvements to your wrist positions through the golf swing, look no further than the Hackmotion. The device helps to diagnose your wrist positions throughout the swing, showing where you are most deficient. From there, you’ll receive a personalized training program to help address your main issue. With Hackmotion, you’ll be on your way to lower scores in no time!

Shot Scope V5

The Shot Scope V5 provides users with automatic performance-tracking capabilities, helping to take your game to the next level. Dynamic distances to the front, middle and back of every green give you the information you need to pull the correct club. This watch also features a vivid screen for easy daytime viewing with the option to customize colors to your personal preference. Sixteen tracking tags are included with your purchase to make recording shots a breeze and provide valuable data post-round.

Garmin Approach R50

I know what you’re thinking: “Dude, I can’t afford a $4,999 home simulator.” Neither can I! However, this list would be lacking if I didn’t have the R50 from Garmin listed. And while the price may seem sky-high, it is a fraction of the cost of a GC Quad or Trackman. If you’re serious about your at-home setup but can’t justify spending $20k on that Trackman, this is the product for you. With everything you need to play built in, you can start with a net and a mat and build your dream at-home setup from there.

Last week, we brought you Rhoback’s killer Azalea collection that debuted for the Masters. Featuring their signature apparel adorned in the colors and themes of Augusta, I didn’t think they’d have another limited drop that came close visually – until they did. Drawing inspiration from one of golf’s most iconic stars, Jack Nicklaus, this collection adds another layer to Masters week apparel. As with the Azalea collection, these items are selling fast so grab yours while you can!

Two brands, one vision

From Nicklaus Brands president, Andy O’Brien:

“Rhoback has done an amazing job of establishing their own unique style which has clearly resonated with trendy and fashion-conscious consumers. Both Nicklaus Companies and Rhoback are known for their unique, quality lifestyle products and we’re thrilled to be working with them. This limited-edition brand collaboration brings some of the most iconic images in golf to Rhoback’s youthful and energetic demographic.”   

Honoring an icon

The Rhoback X Jack Nicklaus collection pays homage to one of golf’s greatest to ever step inside the ropes. This collection features three pieces:

Rhoback’s Ponderosa Green polo, adorned with versions of the iconic Golden Bear logo on the golf course.Rhoback’s White and Fairway Green polo, which features images of Nicklaus Companies founder Jack Nicklaus, including the winning putt from his timeless 1986 Masters victory.Rhoback’s Hesi Performance Hoodie, which showcases a cool Golden Bear wearing a green bucket hat pulled down low.

Golf handicaps aren’t just for experienced players. The sooner you establish one, the easier it is to compete equitably with golfers of any skill level. Every golfer can benefit from having a handicap and if you’ve been asking, “how do you get a golf handicap?”, we’ve got you covered.

Understanding the World Handicap System

Before diving into how to get a golf handicap, it’s helpful to understand how this all works.

The World Handicap System (WHS) is a global framework developed by the USGA and The R&A. The WHS was set up to ensure handicaps are consistent and portable worldwide. You don’t have to get your handicap directly from either of these organizations. You can get your golf handicap index through authorized golf clubs, leagues or other golf associations no matter where you live.

In the U.S., regional groups are called Allied Golf Associations (AGAs). They connect golfers to the World Handicap System and typically use the GHIN system (Golf Handicap and Information Network).

GHIN is the most widely used platform for posting scores, managing your index and tracking progress. Outside the U.S., most national golf federations play the same role under the R&A’s oversight, using their own local systems.

The History

During the summer of 1920, a twenty-eight year old Walter Hagen set off to prepare for his first Open Championship. In doing so, he might have unintentionally completed one of the greatest practice rounds in history. How might one describe this practice round? Unorthodox. According to Walter Hagen, that never crossed his mind as he and Englishman Jim Barnes as they traversed the British coastline.  

“While we were in London for the 1920 British Open, Jim Barnes and I started one morning to play the three links as if they were one. After playing eleven holes on the Deal course, we hopped a fence over to Sandwich and played ten holes there, crossed to Prince’s links and completed all the holes there, coming back to the original starting place. We finished the remainder of the holes on the Sandwich and Deal layouts, ending up on the eighteenth at Deal. Scores? I’ve forgotten. We weren’t trying to break any records. We were just lucky to go that far. We did it for fun.” – Walter Hagen
