The Tour Edge Exotics EXS Pro collection is what company founder and chief designer David Glod likes to call “small batch.” Just like with last week’s metalwood introduction, that terminology applies to the exclusive nature of the EXS Pro iron and wedge lines, too, which got their inspiration from the company’s list of endorsers on

Feverishly

If you’re a golfer looking to play with golf courses opening in most states, it’s likely you’ve searched the internet for available pushcart options. And most likely, you’ve struck out in that attempt. The gold rush of pushcarts is upon us with most courses enacting walking-only rules and restricting the use of traditional golf carts.

Golf Digest published its first article on how to play this magnificent and infuriating game in the spring of 1950. Fittingly, it was titled “How to putt.” Can’t get that right, the editors must have figured, and there’s no sense in learning the rest. But since that time, the rest has been covered in this
A few weeks ago, we asked fans to take the ultimate leap of faith by submitting a video of their swing to be critiqued by none other than Tiger Woods himself. Quite a few took the plunge, and Woods didn’t hold back with his analysis. Case in point: the first swing Woods is shown is
One simple way to keep your swing on track is to review the fundamentals in step-by-step order. That allows you to check your technique in small pieces and identify where you might be getting out of position. In many ways, each part of the swing is only as good as the parts that come before
Tony Caine was watching his golf swing in a mirror, as he often did. Yet this day he saw something different. “I suddenly noticed I could turn more without stressing my shoulders and back,” recalls the 63-year-old who previously endured back problems so severe they required surgery. “With that improved range of motion, my clubhead

For the last five years, nearly everything Gil Hanse touches seems to turn to gold. Hanse is arguably the hottest, and hardest working, golf architect in the business and has had an incredible string of successes, with both original designs and restorations of storied courses, since the debut of his Rio Olympics course in 2016.

We’re back! On Thursday, the PGA Tour returns after a three-month hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

FORT WORTH — Players at the Charles Schwab Challenge who participated in virtual press conferences on Tuesday said they accept and support the conditions imposed for the first PGA Tour event since the abbreviated Players Championship in mid-March, protocols that involve both testing for coronavirus and restrictions on the golf course.
