LeBron James and NIKE. Lionel Messi and adidas. Signature shoes are a big part of sports … well most sports anyway. Golf has long been lacking in this regard, with the exception of Tiger Woods, of course.

That’s why I’m excited about what ECCO Golf is doing with South African star Erik van Rooyen. The two teamed up for a signature edition (player edition, or PE, if you will) of the ECCO Biom H4, the brand’s flagship spikeless golf shoe.

Let’s take a closer look at the shoes and the story behind them.

Can You Hear It?

One look at the new Erik van Rooyen Signature Edition BIOM H4 from ECCO and it’s easy to see what inspired the playful design. van Rooyen’s passion for music and fashion breathes new life into a shoe that would otherwise be lost admist a sea of other golf shoe options.

“Anyone that’s seen me play knows that I really enjoy being different and innovative on the golf course, and it’s awesome that the ECCO GOLF team allows me to reflect that in my signature edition styles. To be able to create my own shoe is a real honor, and BIOM H4 is such a great model to do it with.”

Steve Jobs, Apple’s visionary founder, famously said: 

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.”

At Rapsodo the future – and the dots – are now. 

Dot patterning designed by the launch monitor company’s engineering team in conjunction with Callaway Golf (more on that in a moment) has become central to the Rapsado MLM2PRO’s upgraded capability to take spin rate and spin axis measurement to pro-level authentication.   

How? Let’s find out.

Determining the world's hardest golf holes is subjective and can vary depending on factors like course conditions, weather, and the skill level of the golfer. However, there are several golf holes worldwide that are renowned for their difficulty due to various challenging features. Here are a few notable ones:

1. 17th Hole, TPC Sawgrass (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, USA): The iconic 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass is a par-3 island green that measures just 137 yards. While it's short in distance, the green is entirely surrounded by water, making it a nerve-wracking shot.

2. 11th Hole, Augusta National Golf Club (Augusta, Georgia, USA): Known as "White Dogwood," the 505-yard par-4 11th hole at Augusta National demands precision and strategic play due to its tight fairway and a green that is heavily protected by bunkers.

3. 18th Hole, Carnoustie Golf Links (Carnoustie, Scotland): "Barry Burn" is a meandering stream that intersects the fairway of the 18th hole, making it a formidable closing hole on one of the toughest links courses in the world.

4. 13th Hole, Augusta National Golf Club: The 13th, known as "Azalea," is a par-5 that requires golfers to navigate a winding creek called "Rae's Creek." The second shot must carry the creek, and the green is surrounded by bunkers and slopes.
