You’re probably asking … how can a rangefinder differ in use between men and women? The truth is, no matter what Callaway tries to tell us by labeling this version of the LR 550 Rangefinder a “women’s” version, we can’t find anything from a technical perspective that differs from the standard [...]
“I like riding my Harley, and I like playing golf,” says Johnny Humphreys, founder of Washington-based Bike n’ Golf. “One day it was beautiful outside and I wanted to do both, so I thought, ‘Why choose? There has to be a way I can do both.’”

Alias' brand new "Limo"
We buy golf products for a lot of different reasons. Certain clubs might help us hit the ball farther; some balls might fly a little straighter. A lighter-weight bag might ease the strain on our shoulder, while certain shirts are designed to keep us cool and dry.
Sometimes, though, we just don’t care [...]

It’s right there in the name — 3.5, as in, three and a half pounds. Sun Mountain’s latest offering to the golf world is not the lightest bag there is … that would be Sun Mountain’s Superlight 2.5. But at less than the weight of a 14-week-old kitten, I don’t think you’ll [...]

Sometimes, it’s better to be lucky than good. We started our research into the world of women’s golf gear by trying to answer the question … just what is it that makes women’s clubs different from those made for men? Turns out, the folks at Mizuno have already done the research for [...]
Links Golf in the Prairies? That's what they're trying to do at the Wildhorse Resort and Casino, just east of Pendleton in Eastern Oregon - with apparent success.
