NGF Short Game: Golf’s $100 Million Phone Problem

If you’ve spent any time on golf social media lately, you’ve probably seen a skit lampooning the ridiculous calls that pro shop staff field each day. “What time does the sun set?” “Is it raining there right now?” “Are people wearing shorts today?” Parody videos like these have racked up millions of views, and even helped Hermitage Golf Course in Tennessee gain 100,000 Instagram and TikTok followers, by turning golf’s phone culture into comedic relief.

It’s easy to laugh at them, but those of us who’ve worked in a pro shop and managed the phone lines know there’s an uncomfortable truth and frustration behind these reels, and that the humor distracts from a not-so-funny industry problem: golf facilities hemorrhaging resources on avoidable (and often trivial) calls, diverting staff from higher-value touch points and revenue-generating activities.

U.S. Senior Women’s Open Crown Marks Historic First for Wales’ Becky Morgan

The roller coaster ride across San Diego Country Club in Sunday’s final round of the 7th U.S. Senior Women’s Open mimicked the moguls that characterize the fairways. And when the up-and-down journey for all the contenders ended, Becky Morgan became the first player from Wales to win a USGA championship.

There was no such thing as a clean scorecard on this demanding day. The key was to bounce back from mistakes. And Morgan did that brilliantly, erasing two bogeys with five birdies and several key par-saving putts for a closing-round 70 to finish 72 holes at 7-under-par 285 for a dominant six-stroke victory over five-time USGA champion Juli Inkster, who earned a runner-up finish in this event for the third time.

Looking to write her name into golf’s annals with indelible ink is Becky Morgan of Wales. The two-time Curtis Cup team member for Great Britain & Ireland made seven birdies and two bogeys in Friday’s second round as she carded the low score of the week, a 5-under-par 68 that put her at 4-under-par 142, the best through 36 holes.

New Titleist T-Series T100, T150, T250, T350 Irons and U-505 and T250-U Utility Irons (2025) - Titleist Fitting Review

Something was legitimately improved in every model.  In some ways even significantly improved.  And more than any line in Titleist history all four iron models blend about as perfectly as possible for combo variations.  There's actually a fifth iron model as well - the T250 Launch Spec, but I didn't test that iron.  I'll let you know what my ultimate set wound up being at the end.

2025 Callaway X Forged Irons VS. X Forged Max Irons Review: 10 Things to Know

It's been about five years since Callaway Golf released an X Forged iron model.  And improvements to the 2025 X Forged irons make this legendary series better than ever before.  But Callaway also double-downed on X Forged with an entirely new model, the X Forged Max irons.  X Forged Max features the same one-piece 1020 carbon steel forged material but is designed in a players distance construction.

I hit the 2025 Callaway X Forged and X Forged Max irons at a Club Champion fitting a few weeks back and can tell you I was incredibly impressed with both models after just a few first swings.  I used the same Dynamic Gold MID 115 shafts in both irons for testing.  And there are some performance differences between the two models that I'm going to tell you about in this comparative review.

Fujikura Ventus VeloCore+ White Shaft Review - 10 Things to Know

A lightweight driver shaft should in theory generate more distance.  They're easier to swing and allow you to swing faster to create more swing speed than heavier shafts.  The problem with lightweight driver shafts (for me at least) is there's often some other accompanying loss of feel, control, or accuracy.  Until now.

The new Fujikura Ventus VeloCore+ White is the first lightweight driver shaft I've played that checks all the boxes for me.  Increased swing speed and distance?  You bet.  But Ventus White also delivers consistent shot patterns and doesn't disrupt my timing and tempo.  I installed the Ventus White into my Ping G440 LST driver and I'll give you some comparisons in feel, launch, and spin to the Ventus VeloCore+ Blue shaft (which I play in a different driver) in this review as well.

Biermann, Ganne to Meet in 36-Hole Final at Bandon Dunes

For only the third time in the championship’s illustrious history – and the second time in seven years – both semifinal matches went extra holes, and featured wild comebacks.

Final 4 at Breezy Bandon Dunes: Biermann, Ganne, Louderbaugh, Scaysbrook

Winning matches at the quarterfinal stage of a USGA championship is always a difficult task, whether it is the talented opponent greeting you on the first tee or just the enormity of the moment.

Add sustained winds from 15-20 mph – with gusts into the mid-30s – and that challenge gets multiplied in spades.
