The Olympic Course at Golf Mountain
Hole No. 18 • Par 4
The Setup: Named “Drive It,” this short par-4 is the fantastic finishing hole for one of the Northwest’s finest tracks. Whether you find yourself sitting even in stroke play or looking to press your $5 Nassau, the 271-yard distance from the blue tees [...]
As you prepare for your golf season this spring, take a little extra time in understanding injury prevention. Low back pain is common among amateur golfers. Most of these aches and pains can be prevented with a little extra attention given to flexibility and strength.
The body can be broken down into segments (such as the [...]
If you were watching last year’s Children’s Miracle Network Classic, then you probably already know all about Titleist’s Vokey ’09 Spin-Milled Wedges. Pros frequently lavish praise on their sponsors in post-tournament interviews, but rarely do they go to the lengths winner Davis Love III did to praise his new Vokey wedges. Of course, if you [...]
The first thing your buddies will notice about Cleveland’s new CAMO wedges is the finish — with its camouflage patterning, it’s a far cry from the chrome- and nickel-backed wedges they’ll be pulling out of their bags, and sends an immediate message that you’re not one to be messed around with. The second thing they’ll [...]
There’s few things on the golf course more frustrating than wasting two or three shots trying to blast out of a bunker or deep rough, or watching your 25-yard pitch fall five yards shy of the green. Cleveland’s Niblick is designed to be the club that will finally bring an end to that self-defeating feeling, [...]
As with the other push carts we talk about in this issue, the Cadywell CIII is capable of carrying a heavy burden, while lightening your own. Made of aircraft-grade aluminum tubing, which keeps its weight at an almost lighter-than-air 14.7 pounds, it can be easily lifted in and out of your trunk, and won’t strain [...]
Few companies do the golf bag better than Sun Mountain … whether the Four 5, the Swift X or the Superlight 3.5, the Missoula, Mont.-based manufacturer has taken over the golf bag market with its many ultra-light, versatile and eye-catching models. Of course, we know that despite our frequent praise, not all of you have [...]
Clicgear’s original push cart (which I suppose we would now call the 1.0) was one of the most popular push carts ever made, with a then-revolutionary three-wheel folding system that earned it the Best New Product award at the 2007 PGA Merchandise Show. Looking to capitalize on their hot name in the market, Clicgear quickly [...]
In the world of golf products, drivers are the celebrities. Every year, the most anticipated new releases are the hot new drivers, followed by irons and hybrids, then wedges and — finally — putters. Of course, we all know that shouldn’t be the case — on average, you’ll take more strokes per round with your [...]
If you’ve ever tuned in to watch the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championships, you may have noticed that those muscle-bound competitors reach into their bag for the stick they plan to win a cool $1 million with, it’s almost always a Cobra. From the original King Cobra to the all-new L5V, Cobra has committed its [...]
Lots of new clubs can claim wins on Tour, but how many can claim a green jacket? Nike’s new STR8-FIT can. It turns out that while the STR8-FIT drivers won’t be available in stores until Apr. 1, Nike’s been field-testing the clubs with its Tour pros for the last year, resulting in four wins — [...]
Pat Perez has certainly always been a good golfer — two second-place finishes on Tour and a top-100 World Golf Ranking will certainly pad the pocketbook. But when Perez fired rounds of 61, 63, 67, 67 and 69 to win January’s Bob Hope Classic — including a PGA Tour-record 36-hole score of 20-under-par — more [...]
