For a record 6th time in his illustrious career, Phil Mickelson is the runner-up at the U.S. Open, and while he certainly knows what it feels like to come up just short in one of the biggest golf tournaments in the world, this one stung a little bit more. Phil woke up on Sunday with…
Kevin Baker on the importance of offering a quality club-shipping service: About a quarter of our business comes from golf groups, and many of them have their clubs shipped to Reunion. It was always hard to track the clubs because for a group of 12 golfers, we’d usually have 12 different tracking numbers and even…
Gavin Hall is no stranger to success. At only 18-years old, his golf resume is already riddled with more achievements than most amateur golfers of his caliber can expect to accomplish in an entire lifetime. And on Monday in Purchase, NY, that resume just got a little more impressive as he punched his ticket to…
For over 100 years the U.S. Open has staked claim to the “Toughest Test in Golf”. With narrow fairways, high rough and lightening-fast greens, it can make even the best players in the world look like your everyday average hacker. Thirty years ago, winning the U.S. Open required precision, patience and strategy but with the…
Having the ability to hit the ball long distances off the tee is something that all golfers desire to possess, and although it’s certainly not the most important aspect of the game, it can provide a significant advantage for players that are able to call upon it when needed….
Just when you think the iPhone couldn’t possibly do anything else to make your life easier, it does. And if you’re a serious golfer, the latest release of Ping’s putter app (iPing) last month might have just made your life on the course this summer a little more enjoyable. What it is iPing is a…
The “Shank”! The most dreaded mishit in the history of golf. You spend months building confidence on the range with practice, hitting thousands of solidly struck balls and then BOOM, you take one swing and your ball takes off almost horizontal to your target line and your game is completely deflated. You laugh it off,…
At this point last year, Tiger Woods had won only one sanctioned PGA Tour event (The Arnold Palmer Invitational). It was the first since his marriage scandal broke in November of 2009 (a stretch of 923 days). This year, he’s already won four times. While we saw glimpses of Tiger returning to glory throughout the…
The Players Championship is quite possibly one of the most exciting golf tournaments to watch the entire year. Dubbed by some as the “5th” Major, it seems to live up to the hype every May, and if you happened to take a look at the leaderboard after the tournament finished this weekend you’d think it…
The controversy surrounding Tiger Woods two-shot penalty at the Masters last weekend should serve as a testament to just how important the rules of golf actually are, and if the greatest player in the world can get mixed upon such a simple matter then maybe it’s a good time to clear a few things up….
With just over $520,000 in earnings on the PGA Tour this year, Jordan Spieth isn’t doing too bad for a 19-year old that dropped out of college after his freshman year at the University of Texas. Earlier this month at the Puerto Rico Open he finished 2nd and three weeks ago at the Tampa Bay…
We’re all looking for easy ways to shave strokes off our score, and while most golfers are quick to offer you a swing tip or a hot new driver that will add 20 yards off the tee, the easiest and most immediate way to become a better player is through effective course management. To put…
Gary Gilchrist is the founder and head coach of the Gary Gilchrist Golf Academy just outside Orlando, Florida. Throughout his tenure as a teaching professional, he’s coached a number of top-ranked amateurs and professionals. Notable students (past and present) include teenage phonem Michelle Wie, former No. 1 player on the LPGA Tour Yani Tseng, Peter…
If you don’t know what’s going on with Tiger Woods at The Masters this year then you don’t live on this planet. On Friday afternoon at Augusta, Tiger strutted to the 15th tee with a flawless scorecard (3 birdies and no bogeys). After a slightly pushed…
Well, if you live North of the Mason-Dixon Line it’s finally starting to warm up (at least a little bit). And while we all know that weathermen occupy the only profession in which you can be wrong on a daily basis and still keep your job, let’s hope they’re right because we’re all sick of…
2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009 and 2012. No this isn’t a list of the years that Tiger played in the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Club and Lodge; it’s a list of the years he won it (and he didn’t even play in 2010). Tiger has won on virtually every course the PGA Tour…
If you have any interest in being the best possible golfer you can be then you should care about what kind of clubs you are using. There’s a reason club makers produce hundreds of different shafts and club heads and it’s not to make money (at least that’s not the only reason). Everyone’s swing is…
Some people love it. Some people hate it. Some people don’t know how to use it and some people purposely abuse it. The gimme (derived from “give me”), otherwise known as a conceded putt, has been and will likely continue to be a hot topic of debate among amateur golfers wherever you go. And while…
After hitting his 2nd shot into the water on the 18th hole at PGA National on Friday, Rory McIlroy put his club back in his bag, shook his playing partners’ hands, walked straight to his car in the parking lot, and left the facility. After grinding out an even-par round on Thursday, McIlroy was clearly…
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Ship Sticks, a fast-growing golf bag shipping company, announced a partnership with Sequoia Golf, a leading golf management company, to provide golf bag shipping services to all of its owned and operated properties. “We have been very happy with the relationship with Sequoia Golf and the opportunity to reach larger…
