You know what golf doesn’t have enough of?

Frustration.

It’s just way too easy. Which is why I’m super stoked to see that the New York Times Games is bringing Wordle, the world’s most frustrating word game, to the golf course.

For those who haven’t played Wordle before, it’s quite a treat. The rules are fairly simple: six guesses to nail down a five-letter word chosen at the discretion of the games editor.

The special Wordle Golf edition features 18 “holes” of puzzles and a custom scoring system to keep track of your score (yes, there’s even a scorecard you can download HERE).

Vokey WedgeWorks has unveiled its latest customization offering: Tour Toe Stamp. This gives everyday golfers the opportunity to game the same distinctive look that has been gaining popularity among PGA Tour professionals.

Oddly, it’s also the same look that set-matched wedges have offered for years. I guess sometimes the pros want to be more like us.

The Tour Toe stamp story

The Tour Toe Stamp option replaces traditional loft, bounce and grind markings on the sole with simple letter designations: P for pitching wedge, G for gap wedge, S for sand wedge, L for lob wedge. (I really hope you didn’t need me to spell that part out for you.)

This minimalist approach began as a practical solution on the PGA Tour when players wanted loft adjustments without changing the visual identification of their wedge type. If your 58-degree wedge is actually 59 degrees, wouldn’t it be better if it were just stamped “L”?

Maybe.

Golf simulators are often seen as expensive, luxury setups meant only for pros or golfers with big budgets. But the real barrier isn’t always cost, it’s a lack of understanding. Many golfers don’t know how simulators work, what’s required to set one up, or whether a simulator fits their game. This ultimate FAQ guide to golf simulators is here to clear that up.

Golf simulator costs vary widely depending on features, accuracy, and included components:

Budget Options ($1,000 – $5,000): Entry-level systems like Rapsodo MLM2 Pro, OptiShot 2 or SkyTrak packages offer basic accuracy and gameplay suitable for beginners or casual use.Mid-Range Options ($5,000 – $10,000): Systems like Garmin Approach R50, Mevo+ or Eye Mini offer enhanced accuracy, comprehensive data, and better software for avid golfers.High-End Options ($10,000+): Premium setups such as Foresight GC3 or Uneekor Eye XO provide pro-level accuracy, advanced analytics, and immersive experiences.
