L.A.B. Golf Introduces First Heel-Shafted Putter - OZ.1i HS

L.A.B. Golf, renowned for pioneering Lie Angle Balance (L.A.B.) technology in putting, today introduced its latest innovation in the putter category— OZ.1i HS. HS, short for “Heel Shaft,” is the result of several years of research and development dedicated to combining L.A.B. technology with a heel-shafted putter.

 

“Lie Angle Balance is so much more than where the shaft goes into the head, and golfers are going to feel that when they try OZ.1i HS,” said L.A.B. Golf CEO Sam Hahn. “It looks a lot like a traditional putter, but it performs like a L.A.B. This is a huge step toward our mission of helping every golfer putt better.”

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.
