I've taken the new Bushnell Golf Tour V5 Shift rangefinder out for testing a handful of times now. Enough to get a good idea of what it can do and start writing my review. Yesterday however, I was playing with a good friend and of course he was asking me questions about it. So I decided to just let him use mine, it would be interesting what he thinks. I had no idea it would become the intro for this review.
He was impressed, which didn't surprise me. What did surprise me was just how impressed he was. A few hours later I had a huge grin on my face when he texted me a pic of his new Tour V5 Shift. He actually went out and bought his own after our round, I kid you not.

It doesn't happen very often, but every once in awhile you try on new golf shoes, play in them for the first time, and literally have a kind of "Woah!" (out loud) moment because they're so good.
Well, after my first full round wearing the new FootJoy Flex Coastal shoes, that moment was more than just "woah, these are good." These are the most comfortable FootJoy Flex I’ve ever worn.

Players Distance irons became a big story in the equipment industry about five years ago. The idea being to combine the playability of cavity back irons with the looks of better players irons. Distance, workability, control, forgiveness, and feel are all part of the equation, but sacrifices are usually made in one area for another.
Well, Tour Edge apparently decided to take a different approach to players distance irons, one that sacrifices nothing. And their new Exotics C721 irons should be on everyone's shortlist as a candidate for best players distance irons of 2021.
The Olympic Club struck again. Just as in the five U.S. Opens contested on the club’s Lake Course, the first U.S. Women’s Open Championship played over this iconic Bay Area layout wasn’t kind to the favored final-round frontrunner.
Olympic’s list of past victims includes Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson, Jim Furyk and Payne Stewart, and Lexi Thompson can now be added to the remarkable list of players who have come up short in championship bids here.
Lexi Thompson has seemingly been playing U.S. Women’s Opens longer than cypress trees have framed the holes at The Olympic Club. At age 26, this is her 15th consecutive appearance since first qualifying in 2007 as a precocious 12-year-old. Yet for all that experience, the Floridian had never owned a share of the lead after any Women’s Open round.
Until now.
Golf is a game obsessed with numbers. Whether it’s the numerals we write on the scorecard or the myriad of statistics produced by sabermetric gurus, fans and media love to debate figures until our brains go on information overload.
But here are three key numbers to digest from the 76th U.S. Women’s Open Championship that don’t have to do with strokes gained, cost of the rough or greens in regulation. They are: 19-11-17, and they could be quite relatable come Sunday afternoon at The Olympic Club.
Golf Pride, a division of power management company Eaton and an industry leader in grip innovation, today announced it was the leading grip brand in play at the 2021 NCAA Division 1 Men’s Golf Championship.

What were you doing at age 17? Working a summer job as a caddie, or taking drive-thru orders? Perhaps you were preparing for your driving test or grinding over college-entrance exams.
Megha Ganne is not a typical 17-year-old, as she illustrated in the first round of the 76th U.S. Women’s Open Championship at The Olympic Club. The Holmdel (N.J.) High School junior carded a 4-under-par 67 – one off the 18-hole amateur scoring record – to match English professional Mel Reid on a breezy, overcast Thursday a few hundred yards from the hold a share of the lead after any round of the championship.
Since the anchoring ban a few years ago, golfers have been looking to find alternative methods to improve their putting. Arm Lock is the hottest Alternative Putting option on Tour, and it's an innovative, conforming design that still retains the benefits of an anchored putter.

Supersoft has been one of the most popular balls for years, with golfers who like it so much that they won’t play anything else. Now Callaway has combined the cover, core and flight technologies to make it even better in a special new “Play Yellow” offering.
For every dozen of these golf balls sold, Callaway is proud to donate $1 to the Play Yellow Campaign benefiting Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
Narrow, sloping fairways lined with antagonistic trees and ornery rough await. Viscously small greens protected by hostile bunkers will test grit and determination.

The United States Golf Association (USGA) today announced the launch of the Driving Equity Grant Program to invite media outlets to expand their coverage of women’s golf by offering financial support to help alleviate any associated costs.
Ahead of the 2020 U.S. Women’s Open last December, the USGA launched “Women Worth Watching” as a long-term commitment to use its championships and platforms to celebrate female athletes and role models while promoting equality and diversity in sports. After driving awareness to the disparity in women’s sports coverage in Year One, the Driving Equity Grant Program is the organization’s next actionable solution to shrink the equality gap in golf.
Final qualifying for the 2021 U.S. Open Championship is set to begin next week, and will be conducted over 36 holes at nine different courses across the country.
