Can a handmade divot tool spark as much excitement as a round at Arcadia Bluffs?

We also reflect on the post-COVID boom in golf and how celebrities have influenced the sport.

Have you ever wondered if Peter Millar polos are worth the splurge compared to Sunday Swagger?

The conversation heats up as we compare custom-fitted golf wedges to off-the-shelf options, weighing the merits of personalized fittings against mass-produced clubs. Rising golf equipment costs are on our radar, too, as we discuss how these trends impact our buying decisions and what it means for the average golfer.
