If you spend enough time scrolling, you can usually some specials on some great lululemon golf clothing. “We Made Too Much”, is the perfect place to find your new favorite golf shorts, pants or polo.

And it’s also my favorite place to shop. Which also means it’s my wife’s least favorite place for me to shop. In any case, it’s usually much easier to convince her I need a new golf polo when it’s a great find.

I’ve spent a few hours scouring the lululemon website with your best interest in mind. Here are my five favorite pieces.

1. Classic-Fit Pique Short-Sleeve Polo Shirt

This classic polo shirt is made from a cotton-blend pique for that ultra-soft feel and great breathabilty. It also features lululemon’s anti-stink treatment, making it a great option for those hot and humid summer rounds.

2. ABC Classic-Fit Trouser Warpstreme

lululemon’s ABC (anti-ball crushing) technology makes their pants extremely comfortable. The ABC pant is a solid choice for the course and clubhouse. Yes, your partner will love how these look. No, I can’t promise they’ll get the cart girl to ask for your number.

I’ll admit it. I am a fan of Stix Golf and I am rooting for them. They’re continuing to improve their footprint in the golf industry and are finding new ways to compete.

Nowadays, anyone can design, produce, and sell a driver. We see top manufacturers (with years of experience and success) do this with relative ease. Additionally, there are several direct-to-consumer manufacturers who have seen success and continue to build their resumes with driver production at the forefront.

Stix Golf is diving into the pool with their latest release: the Compete Driver.

How does the Compete Driver differ from the drivers Stix Golf offers in their complete golf club sets?

For starters, the Compete Driver is adjustable. This is a game-changer for Stix. Most OEMs offer adjustability with their driver lineups. For example, in our 2024 Most Wanted Driver test, 36 of 37 drivers are adjustable.

Eight years into the modern Olympic golf experiment, the event finally found its voice during a sweaty, giddy first round of these Games. In 2016, when golf returned to sports’ biggest stage after a 112-year absence, the soundtrack was howls of protest from traditionalists and mealy-mouthed excuses from the top players who refused to see the big picture (Rory Mcllroy later admitted the noisy concerns about the Zika virus were just a convenient alibi). The 2021 Tokyo Games were played in deafening silence with fans banished because of a global pandemic.

But on Thursday at Le Golf National, Olympic golf was embraced as never before. A crowd of 25,000 strong made the journey to a distant suburb to give the competition the juice it deserves, at last. The fans serenaded the players with cheers, chants and the occasional national anthem. Practitioners of the loneliest sport could finally feel in their bones that they are playing for something larger than themselves.

Of his opening tee shot, Min Woo Lee said, “I had kind of like a tear in my eye because I made the team and I’m representing Australia. I didn’t know I was going to react like that. But it was pretty cool. I think that just shows how much it means to me. I think a lot of people say, ‘Why is golf an Olympic sport?’ I think for myself: now I know why.”

Thorbjørn Oleson of Denmark, an eight-time winner on the European Tour, said, “It’s a very different atmosphere from any other tournament. To see all the different flags, to hear people singing their anthems, it gives you a little bit of goosebumps.”

Joaquin Niemann of Chile (who is in third place with a 65, two strokes behind leader Hideki Matsuyama), added, “It does feel more special than any other golf tournament.”

We asked the team at Shot Scope to pull on-course data from their database of 350 million shots for Le Golf National, the venue for golf at the Olympic Games, to see how the amateur golfer plays the course.

Le Golf National is no stranger to hosting big events. The 2018 Ryder Cup took place on the Albatross Course where Team Europe was victorious.

The French Open has been held at Le Golf National (on and off) since 199 but has been there every year since 2002 so we can see how the pros play the course compared to amateurs.

Three holes that will cause drama – 4, 17, 18

Despite many holes having some form of water feature, one of the hardest holes on the Albatross course does not have any.

The fourth hole, a long par-4, measuring at 486 yards in the 2023 French Open, played 0.17 strokes over par, making it the fourth-hardest hole of the week.

Titleist's all-new GT drivers employ several groundbreaking technologies that help it live up to some lofty standards.

Every equipment launch is designed to invoke a sense of optimism in potential buyers. With that, Titleist believes its GT series (hello, generational technology) of fairway metals is a pronounced step forward from the TS (Titleist Speed) line.

Because Titleist isn’t one to loosely toss around superlatives and over-caffeinated marketing lingo, the promise of something demonstrably better is, at a minimum, intriguing.

We’ll get to the details in a moment but the tech story centers on essentially the same updates in the material and construction as the GT drivers.

At first glance, GT doesn’t look much different than TSR. That wasn’t by mistake. In fact, it was a key design objective. If you wanted to paraphrase feedback garnered from PGA Tour staff as, “Make it better, but keep it the same…”, that’s largely accurate.

In this case, better meant faster and higher without increasing spin and the status quo was, well, everything else (sound, feel, address profile).

After three generations of the Titleist Speed (TS) Project, the company’s metalwood franchise has a new name. The GT in Titleist GT Drivers stands for Generational Technology. It signals a generational shift in materials, construction and, as you would expect, performance.

To be fair, the bones of this story aren’t entirely dissimilar from nearly any other driver story I’ve written. With that, it’s understandable that golfers might look at GT and assume nothing (other than a couple of letters) has changed.

I get it but, at the same time, I roll my eyes a little when someone looks at GT and concludes it’s the “same ol’ Titleist.”

Looks can be deceiving.

That’s especially true with the Titleist GT drivers where plenty has evolved under the hood (and I suppose with the hood itself).
