No matter how diligent you are, keeping up-to-date with the many new putter models introduced each month takes a bit of work. For example this year, in the just the few months since the PGA Merchandise Show, at least two dozen new putters have come to market, each vying for your attention…and dollars. With that in mind NEGM has distilled down the recent (and a couple not so recent) introducti… Read More
Mark Twain once said, ” Golf was a good walk spoiled.” The game was envisioned from its beginnings as a test of ones endurance and skill against the lay of the land.
Over time we may have lost something in the translation but golf is still best played, by walking the course. A golfer who walks has a distinct advantage in his feel and pace of the game and is much more in touch with all… Read More

K.J. Choi and Jim Furyk are renowned on the PGA Tour for fiddling with their golf gear. So when Choi wanted a new set of irons before this week’s Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio, he did what Furyk did in the middle of the 2010 Deutsche Bank Championship -- he took his bu… Read More

James Driscoll was a reluctant convert to the long putter. Now, after a year-plus with a belly bat jammed into his gut -- and despite this week’s announcement by golf’s governing boards that his flat stick will be illegal in under three years -- the New England golfer has no plans to replace the lengthy club any time soon.
“I plan on using the belly p… Read More
One of golf’s great truths is just because you can bomb it off the tee doesn’t mean you can get it on the green. And since we all want to make more pars and birdies, playing with irons that help you get it on the green is a must.
Fortunately recreational players have a wide variety of choices and many that even provide some significant compensation for their swing flaws. Club faces w… Read More
Among golfers, whether they are average golfers or better players, the driver is the club that receives the most attention and the reason is simple. Besides the bragging rights of being able to stripe one down the middle past your buddies, in a typical round the driver is used 14 times - as often as any club except the putter. So, if a new number one wood produces more distance and better accuracy… Read More

Jim Furyk may be familiar to New England golfers as someone who’s not afraid to switch putters in the middle of a tournament. The 2010 FedEx Cup champ will even plunk down his own money at a retail outlet if he believes a new -- or used -- flat stick will help him drain more putts.
Unhappy with his putting at last month’s Arnold Palmer Invitational, the 16-time PGA tour winner walked into a… Read More
It used to be that if you wanted to go from fading the ball to drawing the ball you had to adjust your swing. Now, increasingly, you can adjust your club.
Some years ago, TaylorMade introduced the R7 driver, which permitted golfers to adjust weights in the sole of the club to induce a draw or a fade. Later, the R9 driver introduced the ability to open or close the face of the club. The lates… Read More

Keegan Bradley entered Monday’s delayed final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational within chipping distance of 54-hole leader Tiger Woods, and his short game had a lot to do with his success.
