The new Rain Rooster rain golf glove is the answer to a question you only think about when it’s raining. And even then you might not think to ask it.
And that question is: Why the hell can’t anyone make a rain glove that, you know, works?
The answer, courtesy of the gang at Red Rooster, is you can make a rain glove that works.
But you have to want to.
The problem is, however, that making a rain glove that works isn’t as simple as it may seem.

Let’s get into it.
I can’t afford a new driver. What can I do to make sure the one I have now still works well for me?
Stephen Ames carded a 6-under-par 67 to seize a three-stroke lead after the first round of the Trophy Hassan II on Thursday in Rabat, Morocco.
Nick Taylor and Adam Hadwin (5-under 66) shared the first-round lead at the windy WM Phoenix Open, where play was suspended because of darkness after a late start due to frost.
The U.S. Open has added the NCAA champion and Latin America Amateur champions to the list of exempt players, along with making slight tweaks to categories for players who don't have to qualify.
The new Sub 70 TAIII wedges are a modern answer to that age-old question that you probably never asked: What would happen if an innovative club designer/direct-to-consumer pioneer gives a gearhead PGA TOUR veteran/grandson of a golf legend free rein to make a set of wedges?
C’mon, you mean you’ve never asked that question?
Well, you’ll want to ask it now. Sub 70 founder Jason Hiland and Tommy Armour III have teamed up again. The duo nailed it last year with their TAIII forged blades. And if the early returns are any indication, the TAIII forged wedges will definitely be worthy of your attention.
You know Hiland as the maverick golf entrepreneur who turned Sub 70 from an online curiosity into a direct-to-consumer paradigm buster. And Tommy Armour III is a longtime Tour veteran who held the PGA TOUR four-round scoring record for 14 years.
Oh, yeah, and his namesake grandfather—the Silver Scot himself—was a legendary golfer whose name is on two of the biggest-selling irons of all time.
Recreational golfers love to imitate the pros that they watch on TV but it may be doing you more harm than good. Of course we all want to make shots like the pros but their exceptional shots may be killing our mental focus and sending our games down the drain.
If the pros can land a 150 yard shot over a well trapped narrow green, why can’t we? For one thing, we don’t have the height and backspin with our 6 or 7 iron to hold the green. I tried this shot yesterday and it cost me 2 more shots to get my plugged ball out of the forward lip of a trap. What was I thinking?
Here are 2 more common sense thoughts that we should learn from the pros.
1/ Sinking 10-15 foot Putts: Last year’s leader in this category was Alex Noren. He sank 43% of those mid-range putts. The Tour average was just 30%. Recreational golfers should be happy to sink 10-15% of these putts. My point here is that you should not lose your cool if you miss a 10-15 foot putt. Plan on passing the hole (as the short ones never go in) to give yourself a chance for success but you should be happy with a 2-putt from that distance.
If you miss a 10-15 foot putt DON’T GET ANGRY WITH YOUR PERFORMANCE.
Comfortable with his position at No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking, Rory McIlroy told reporters Wednesday that "consistency-wise, I've been as good as I have ever been in my career."
Beside good golf and the Super Bowl in the Phoenix area, there will be plenty of fun with the fans. Here's what else is happening on Tour this week.
Introducing the Takomo Golf 101T Irons. With golf equipment prices on the rise, a $589 golf iron set is an enticing option.
Takomo Golf is a relatively new direct-to-consumer brand based in Finland, of all places. Appropriately enough, they bring a Scandinavian mindset to their product by, as they say, “ensuring their timeless design encompasses quality and durability without compromising style for every golfer”.
The hollow-bodied 101T irons offer enough forgiveness to entice a broad spectrum of mid- to low-handicap golfers. Additional benefits include technology that should produce optimal ball speed numbers and a sleek topline with minimal offset.
We’ve seen the player’s distance hollow-bodied iron become popular over the past few years. Almost every prestigious OEM offers or has offered a player’s distance iron with the promise of being a perfect blend of forgiveness and distance. At just $589, Takomo Golf 101T is an intriguing option.
Takomo Golf originated in 2019. Two years later, they produced their first iron, the 101 (101T’s older brother).
LIV Golf League lawyers said the PGA Tour has driven up LIV Golf's costs by "hundreds of millions of dollars" and driven down its revenue to "virtually zero."
Bettinardi Golf is releasing five new Studio Stock putter models this spring.The revamped line features milled 303 stainless steel construction and Bettinardi’s Roll Control face technology.Pre-orders begin Feb. 7 and will arrive first in the United States in April, then worldwide in May.
Keeping to their two-year release cycle, Bettinardi Golf has refreshed their Studio Stock putter line for 2023. “Refreshing” may be the wrong word as Bettinardi had decided to scrap all of the old Studio Stock models and release a completely new lineup this time around. Maybe “scrap” is too harsh of a word, too. Not like they were thrown away forever. Let’s go with Bettinardi has archived the previous Studio Stock models, possibly to return in the future.
Regardless, it is a rarity that a company does not keep a model or two in the lineup from cycle to cycle. Can you imagine Scotty releasing a new putter line without the Newport? What about PING without an Anser? Odyssey without a 2-Ball? Actually, that last one happened this year and it feels odd. How can you not include the iconic Odyssey?
Anyway, it is true that the entire 2021 Studio Stock model lineup has been relegated, with five new putter models replacing them in the 2023 cohort. New models are usually the best part of a release so what should we expect to see in a new Studio Stock putter? Of course you wonder about the models but maybe also if there are any left-handed or center-shafted models included as well?
Easy answers first: Yes on left-handed, no on center-shafted. Let’s explore the other questions as we take a deeper look at the 2023 Bettinardi Studio Stock putter line.

PXG has released its first product in the golf ball category.The PXG Xtreme golf ball has three-piece urethane construction.Suitable for a range of players, PXG says the Xtreme is “one ball that does it all.”Retail price is $39.99. Available now.
PXG Founder and CEO Bob Parsons has stated: “Everything we [PXG] do starts with a question: ‘Can we make a better product?’”
As it relates to golf balls, for the better part of PXG’s existence, the answer was “no.”
When PXG engineers Brad Schweigert and Mike Nicolette left PING for PXG, certain contractual entanglements prohibited them from jumping right into golf club design. Instead, they spent their early PXG days working on a golf ball.
The result of those efforts was the Slick golf ball (I don’t recall why the one shown below is on a stick—probably some aerodynamics thing) and the mythology around its shortcomings have become the stuff of PXG lore.
