The Toulon Golf Small Batch Paris celebrates the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics and the current golf gold medalist.The Toulon Paris is based on the Toulon Las Vegas, featuring a Champagne PVD finish and Paris-inspired graphics.Available July 26 at ToulonGolf.com with a MSRP of $1,800.

Golfeur champion de l’année

Toulon Golf unveiled their latest Small Batch putter this week, The Paris. The original plan behind the golden mallet was to commemorate Xander Schauffele’s gold medal win at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Releasing a gold version of Schauffele’s putter right before the start of the 2024 Olympics in Paris seemed like a good marketing plan by Toulon. Perhaps a bit predictable, but a good plan nonetheless.

Then Schauffele and his Toulon Las Vegas won the 152nd Open Championship at Royal Troon.

While the Paris may have started as a 2024 Olympics collectible, it now also celebrates the Champion Golfer of the Year and may have become the hottest collectible putter of 2024.

C’est l’heure du golf olympique

Are you excited for the Paris Olympics? I enjoy the Summer Olympics more than the Winter Olympics. The number and diversity of competitions in the summer is fantastic. The Winter Games just look cold.

I case you haven’t guessed, I like golf shoes. I’ve spent the better part of two years with MyGolfSpy testing any golf shoe I can get my hands on. Through various Most Wanted testing seasons and a host of individual golf shoe reviews, I’ve worn more than 125 different pairs.

That’s a lot of shoes. A lot of bad and a lot of good. When you’ve worn as many as I have, you start to take a liking to a few in particular. And while I’ve got a constantly rotating closet, there are a few pairs that I always go back to.

In no particular order, here are my current five favorite golf shoes.*

*This changes frequently and in no way is meant to reflect or replace the best golf shoes from our 2024 testing.

adidas MC80

I’m all about first impressions. The first time I put on the adidas MC80, I was blown away with how comfortable they are. There are few things about the shoe that I don’t love. From the supple full-grain leather upper to the BOOST midsole, the MC80 is a golf shoe that I can’t kick from my current rotation.

Have you been to Topgolf? It’s the first place I was able to experience golf together with my wife.

Topgolf is, by and large, Callaway’s cash cow. Why? Because it’s fun, no-frills and a easy way for the non-golfer to find joy in such a frustrating game.

Its success is largely dependent on those who are new to the game or completely unfamiliar with it. That said, there’s still a host of “serious” golfers that enjoy the occasional round of Angry Birds and a few pretzel bites.

Social media has been a sounding board of opinions on proper etiquette at Topgolf. I’ve seen too many videos of golfers being ridiculed for bringing their own clubs or going through their pre-shot routine like they’re standing on the first tee at Augusta National.

I figured it was time to set the record straight. Whether you’ve never been or you’re a regular, here are the do’s and don’ts of Topgolf.
