By David Theoret The Carolinas are an amazing Mecca of beautiful golf courses, with dozens located in just a few hundred square miles of each other up and down the Atlantic coast. At the southern tip of South Carolina is probably the most well-known golfing metropolis in the area: Hilton Head Island. Hilton Head’s most famed track is Harbor Town, …
There are few images that, once seen, are hard to evade your memory. When I played Indian Creek this past month, the images from our July 2015 issue kept popping into my head. Indian Creek was, unfortunately, one of the courses that was put underwater during the historic storms in May and June of 2015. We documented some of the …
Summer can wreak havoc on a golf course – from scorching fairways and greens to turning your golf cart seat into a leg griddle. While you’re out on the course, the intense heat and sun can also have damaging effects on your skin and hair. But with regular maintenance, you can revive even the most parched profile.

Over the last 26 years, I’ve caddied for seven players full time. About 5 years ago, my roommate came up with the idea to see how many players we’ve actually worked for, which included one-week jobs or more.

Those afternoons and evenings where you’re gathered around a fire pit on a large outdoor patio with your friends are some of my favorite. You might have a glass of local craft beer or rosè in your hand, and you’re watching the waters of the local lake glisten across the street. Maybe you’re munching on some smoked brisket queso while …
TV technology continues to get better and better every year. TVs which were once big plastic boxes are now wallpaper thin. There are even TVs such as the Sony OLED which produces sound from the screen itself. There are TVs with super rich color and some with 4K resolution. HDR TVs. Smart TVs.

For those of you who follow the PGA and PGA Tour Champions regularly, you’ve no doubt heard chatter over the last few years about the anchoring ban. Rule 14-1b states, in simplistic terms, that the putter cannot be directly anchored to the torso, or indirectly anchored by a forearm when making a stroke. Recently most of the dialogue (and the …
Every motion in the golf swing has theory behind it, but how that theory is translated sometimes differs based on flexibility. No motion stands out to me more in this scenario than the backswing pivot.
