If you’re still following golf even though the PGA Tour is done for a while, you’ll have seen that this week in India Rory McIlroy decided to leave the driver in his locker. One of the most dominant drivers of the ball, didn’t use a driver. You don’t hear that much but it makes you wonder. The course you play, would it help or hurt to play less aggressive and hit irons and hybrids off the tee? Through some research that was done with DECADE Golf they found that 3wd isn’t any

This is the time of year where all the golf shops and major box stores have ALL SORTS of amazing deals! There’s no secret that it happens every October/November. There are some great products for great prices, but is it worth it for everyone to ONLY buy demos?   Here’s the thing…it CAN be.
