The Problem

Golf equipment, whether it be shoes, golf balls or clubs, gets dirty constantly and cleaning all of them all the time can be a tedious task. Some golfers use brushes, others use towels and many use both. Even when using a golf club brush and towel, dirt can stay on equipment and then,  to top it all off, the towel and golf club brush need to be cleaned! Surely there must be better, simpler golf club cleaners that will get the job done without the hassle of towels, brushes and buckets. 

The Solution

Golf Erasers!  The golf club cleaner for cleaning golf shoes, golf balls, and most importantly, your golf clubs. A convenient all-in-one item with the only addition needed being a fluid to activate the cleaning magic. The Golf Eraser golf club cleaner attaches to your bag and is easily detachable with spares to ensure you are set between shots and after the round.

How I Found It

Having clean clubs and clean golf balls is a must for me. Whether it is in between shots or after the round, I always clean my clubs with a golf club brush and towel. I play in all conditions and far too often my towel gets dirty and wet which then transfers to my hands, clubs and even golf balls. In search of a solution, I was tipped off about Golf Erasers instant cleaners. So off to Amazon I went and found the last pack available for $20. With the click of a button, they were ordered and at my door in less than 24 hours. 

How it worked (and didn’t)

The Golf Eraser  came in a nice package with a clip for attaching to your bag. Putting them onto the tag was simple but I did notice a few of the pads cracked a bit when putting onto the bag tag. However, it does say on the box “must be wet to work” soI would advise wetting them before putting onto the tag to avoid this. 

The Golf Erasers themselves are pretty simple. As a golf club cleaner they are two-sided pads with a rougher green side for scrubbing away larger chunks of dirt, grass and sand. The white side with dimples is for wiping away the remaining dirt. It is a very simple design but it is effective. With six pads included in the pack and the fact they are easily cleaned and activated with water, these certainly have immediate potential out of the box.

Seve Ballesteros' "Bunker Shot" at the 1983 Open Championship is considered one of the most memorable and skillful shots in golf history. Here are the details of that remarkable shot:

During the final round of the 1983 Open Championship held at Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in England, Seve Ballesteros found himself in a challenging situation on the 18th hole. His ball had landed in a greenside bunker, buried deep in the sand, with very little room to maneuver.

Facing the prospect of a potentially costly shot, Ballesteros showed his exceptional touch and creativity. With a seemingly impossible lie and the championship on the line, he took a calculated risk and decided to play an extraordinary shot.

Using a 9-iron instead of the traditional sand wedge, Ballesteros opened the face of the club, took a wide stance, and positioned himself well outside the bunker. With a combination of sheer power, finesse, and improvisation, he executed a remarkable swing that sent the ball soaring high into the air and landing softly onto the green.

The shot was greeted with a roar of applause and astonishment from the crowd as Ballesteros successfully escaped the bunker and set up a birdie opportunity. The incredible display of skill and ingenuity ultimately contributed to Ballesteros winning his third Open Championship title.

Ping continues to push the engineering boundaries of performance golf clubs for women with the launch if their newest G Le3 line.

The post Ping updates popular women’s line of clubs with new G Le3 series appeared first on Golf.

The new PING G Le3 line of golf clubs is many things. But the item at the top of the list is also the simplest.

It’s just plain good business.

The PING G Le3 lineup, you see, is a full line of custom-fit and custom-built clubs engineered specifically for women. And in case you hadn’t noticed, more women are playing golf today than ever before.

The National Golf Foundation’s most recent statistics show the number of women golfers in the US alone has grown 15 percent since 2019. Overall, women now make up 25 percent of all on-course golfers.

And for a company such as PING with a long history of supporting women’s golf (you’ve heard, perhaps of the Solheim Cup?), it’s a smart move to potentially capture a large share of a growing demographic.
