Respond don’t react: The Shot You Can Always Control

Respond don’t react: The Shot You Can Always Control

You can’t control bad bounces or missed putts but you can control your response. Here’s how to turn reaction into resilience.

Pressure, setbacks, and unforeseen outcomes are built into any round of golf. A bad bounce, an opponent’s good fortune and careless mistakes can happen at any time. In fact, the unpredictable nature of the game is one of its main attractions. But what separates those who succeed from those who spiral isn’t what happens on the course, but how they respond to it.

Most people react. Their emotions take over, words or actions spill out before thought, and suddenly the situation feels worse than it started. A reaction is impulsive, driven by adrenaline, ego and an attitude that golf should be fair and we should get everything we deserve.

High performers learn how to respond. A response is possible when you create space, even if just for a breath, between what happened and what you choose to do about it. It’s deliberate, rooted in awareness rather than impulse. Where reaction narrows your options, response expands them.

Titleist Faces Class Action Over Alleged “Mixed Box” Golf Balls

Titleist, the brand that has built its reputation on precision and quality, is being sued in a proposed class action alleging that boxes of its premium Pro V1x Left Dash with Enhanced Alignment (EA) golf balls didn’t actually contain what was promised.

Filed September 4, 2025, in the Eastern District of Missouri, the complaint names six golfers from across the country as plaintiffs, each claiming they purchased boxes labeled as containing a dozen Pro V1x Left Dash EA balls. Instead, the boxes allegedly contained only nine of the lower-spin Left Dash EA and three Pro V1x EA balls (a higher-spin model with different performance characteristics).

The lawsuit, Long et al. v. Acushnet Company (Case No. 4:25-cv-01332), seeks class certification on behalf of all similarly situated buyers and requests damages in excess of $5 million.

PAYNTR Drops Exclusive “Gator” Golf Shoe

PAYNTR’s hot streak just got extended.

The budding performance golf brand just dropped a limited run of their Moving Day golf shoes, complete with a gator print on the toe and heel cup. Built with Jason Day’s influence, these aren’t your typical golf kicks.

The “Gator” edition delivers everything you’d expect from a shoe designed at the tour level. The CLARINO microfiber upper keeps things lightweight while the PMX SPEED PLT propulsion plate harnesses ground reaction forces—essentially turning every step into stored energy for your swing.

Comfort’s locked down tight. The ARIAPRENE tongue provides breathable foot lockdown without the bulk. ORTHOLITE footbed compresses less than 5%, meaning these shoes maintain their cushioning round after round. PMXNitro+ midsole delivers maximum energy return, keeping your feet fresh through 18 holes.

The gator print adds serious style points. White, black, and gator colorway brings that swamp-meets-country-club aesthetic that’ll turn heads on any course.

Callaway’s Niche SZN Brings Three New Apex Options To The Top Of The Bag

Callaway has three new options for near the top of the bag, each offering a different trajectory, level of forgiveness, playability and, for any given player, perhaps a different level of confidence as you stare down at it.

While nothing here represents an entirely new class of club, the extended offerings speak to the reality that higher-lofted fairway woods have become increasingly popular on global tours in recent years. We’re talking 7-woods, even 9-woods, and, in Callaway’s world, utility woods. The trend isn’t slowing and perhaps there’s a lesson in that for the rest of us.

According to Callaway, the shift in bag makeup isn’t always because these clubs are more forgiving and easier to hit—although they often are. At the tour level, it’s about confidence in having the right tool for the job.

That’s all well and good but we all know some golfers will always prefer irons over metalwoods, so Callaway has you covered there as well.

And I suppose that’s part of what makes this particular early fall launch from Callaway interesting. They’re not limiting your options. Callaway already has plenty of high-lofted fairway options within the Elyte lineup. This launch caters to golfers looking to tune the upper part of the bag with what I think qualifies as alternatives to the conventional approach.
