Do you dread seeing your ball roll into the greenside bunker? If you answered yes then the chances are that you’re probably not exactly a guru out of the sand, but you could be. Hitting out of sand isn’t nearly as difficult as you might be making it out to be. In fact, many good…
The flight of your ball can tell you almost everything about your swing. There’s a reason you’re pushing it, or pulling it, or slicing it, or hooking it, and the quicker you understand why the ball is moving the way that it is, the better you will be at fixing your swing and making adjustments….
There’s no ifs, ands or buts about it; how you perform on and around the green determines how well you score. A good short game can boost your confidence and help you minimize the damage caused by bad shots. If you can get up and down from anywhere, you don’t have to hit the ball…
All it takes is one big number to ruin a perfectly good round of golf. You can play great for 16 or 17 holes but one 7 or 8 on the card is all it takes to crush your confidence. Most amateurs attribute their big numbers to hitting one bad shot or getting an unlucky…
It’s been over five years since Tiger Woods historic U.S. Open victory at Torrey Pines. Since then, he’s had 13 additional wins, none of which have been at major venues. He has however had 9 top-6 finishes in major tournaments during that span, which begs the question–why hasn’t one of the best closers the game…
This Thursday, the final major of the year will get underway at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, NY.

The Open Championship starts Thursday, and for the 16th time in the 142 year history of the tournament, Muirfield will play host to the best golfers in the world. Of the previous 15 winners at Muirfield, 13 are already in the World Golf Hall of Fame and come Sunday, this storied venue maybe adding a…
Putting should be the easiest part of the game, right? There aren’t any hazards to watch out for, the wind doesn’t really affect the ball, you don’t have to worry about topping your shot or hitting it fat, it should be pretty straightforward. But it’s not. Putting is without a doubt the most important and…
The only thing worse than playing golf in the cold is playing golf in the wind. The game is hard enough in perfect conditions let alone a windstorm. So next time you look at the forecast and you see that it might get a little breezy, don’t stay inside. Grab your clubs, hit the range…
When it comes to golf balls, more expensive doesn’t always mean better performance. In fact, you may actually see better results if you do a little research and start playing a ball that doesn’t cost quite so much money.

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…
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…
At this point last year, Tiger Woods had won only one sanctioned PGA Tour event (The Arnold Palmer Invitational).
