My club championship was last weekend, and I did not have my best stuff. It was pretty disappointing—I knew going in I wasn't playing my best golf, but I couldn't help hoping something would change. But it didn't. I stumbled into the match play, found a small semblance of good golf, but lost a hard-fought match in the first round. At least the golfer who beat me ended up winning, so there's some pride in that.

Why pros use this five-word phrase to play better golf—even on the bad days

When the Rules of Golf was updated in 2019, the USGA and R&A aimed to improve it in a manner in which they covered all aspects of the game while being as clear and succinct as possible. Yet, avid golfers like yourself know a lot of things happen on the course that still fall into gray areas. Since you can’t always open the rules app on your phone to figure out how to proceed when something unusual comes up—and you’re not a tour pro with the luxury of calling in rules officials at a moment's notice—now’s as good a time as any to check and see whether you have a firm grasp of what's allowed and what isn't.

You step up to a wide-open par 5, tee it high, swing as hard as you can and what happens? The ball spins off to the right and flies 30 yards shorter than normal. That’s because when many of us try to increase distance, we don’t understand the moves necessary to crank up clubhead speed.

The timeless debate over which classic car names should be revived for modern models continues. While it’s easier said than done, many enthusiasts would welcome such a move, especially if it involves traditional sedans or coupes rather than SUVs.

Most amateurs struggle with dogleg holes because they try to do something they’re not capable of doing. If the hole bends to the left, they think, I need to hook or draw it around the corner, even if their natural ball flight is a fade. That strategy has double bogey written all over it. Remember, the second half of every dogleg is the shortest part of the hole, so if you can reach the corner and keep the ball in play, you’ve got a chance to score. Here are some other things to consider when you step on the tee of a hole that bends left or right.

It's time to master the dogleg. Use these tips and you’ll stay ahead of the curve

Bryson DeChambeau is new-school. We all know about his 3D-printed irons, uniform club lengths, deceptive lofts and fitness experiments. The 2024 U.S. Open champ has been at the bleeding edge of professional golf for nearly a decade now. That doesn't mean he doesn't respect the past, however. In fact, DeChambeau is probably a more accomplished golf historian than the majority of his peers.

A member of Golf Twitter's Mount Rushmore appears to be hanging it up for good. That is, of course, if you believe a man who runs a parody account—a legendary one, mind you—is being truthful when he writes to his following of over 300,000 on Twitter/X that he's "decided to pursue a career outside of golf." If he's being serious, this is a sad, sad day in golf:

Few red wines carry the cachet of Cabernet Sauvignon. The varietal’s textural intensity and richness make it an ideal food-pairing wine. Its traditional notes of dark fruit and dessert-like flavors of chocolate and vanilla give it a sense of elegant indulgence. Even its name sounds sophisticated when it’s not shortened to its brief, ubiquitous nickname.
