Bushnell Golf Tour V5 Shift Rangefinder Review - A Worthy Upgrade to the V Series Legacy

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.

Tour Edge Exotics C721 Irons Review - A Superstar in the Players Distance Category

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.

Saso Steals Show With Historic Playoff Win at Olympic

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.

Thompson Leads Saso By One Entering Final Round at Olympic

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.

Philippine Teen Yuka Saso Has 36-Hole Lead at 76th U.S. Women's Open Championship

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.
