Young also returned a closing 68, while Australian Lucas Herbert carded a 65 to finish third, two shots…

It just wasn’t the one he wanted.Rodgers and PGA Tour pro Ben Silverman won the net portion of the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am with a score of 26 under over the course of three days.

Welcome to part 2 of our practice putting mat review series. For those who missed my take on the Birdieball putting green, be sure to check that out here. Why is finding the proper putting mat so important? Because improving your performance with the flat stick is the quickest way to shoot lower scores on the golf course! Think about it. At least half of your strokes during a round of golf are spent on the putting green. In this installment, I’ll dive into what I like and dislike about the PrimePutt putting mat. My goal is to give you…
England’s Daniel Gavins holed 30-foot putt on the 18th green at Al Hamra Golf Club in the UAE to win the Ras Al Khaimah Championship in the most dramatic fashion. The 31-year-old from Leeds held a two-shot lead as he headed to the 18th tee, but found the water twice at the last to seriously dent his chances of winning the title. But with nearest challenger Alexander Björk finishing his round with a bogey up ahead, Gavins had a double-bogey putt from around 30 feet at the 18th to set the new target at 17 under par. And he duly holed…

You mess with the Home of Golf at your peril. That would appear to be the over-riding message after the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews’ decision to build what looks like a circular garden patio leading up to the famous Swilcan Bridge on the 18th hole of the Old Course was met with a torrent of negative comments on various social media platforms. The scene of many of golf’s most iconic moments over the centuries, and traversed by nearly all of the game’s greats, from Old Tom Morris to Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, the…
A 700-year-old bridge got a remodel recently at St. Andrews. A patio-looking structure was built in front of the Swilican Bridge at the Old Course at St. Andrews, where has golf has been played for several centuries. The response, as you can probably imagine, was not receptive.The premise here is that because so many golfers — nearly every single one that has played the Old Course, I would imagine — stop to take photos at the base of the Swilican Bridge. This bridge connects the first portion of the 18th hole to the fairway and beyond, and it gets trampled…
Japan’s Ryo Hisatsune began his first round at the Ras Al Khaimah Championship with six successive birdies en route to posting a stunning 64 to lead by two shots at Al Hamra Golf Club in the UAE.. The DP World Tour Qualifying School graduate made the most of favourable scoring conditions on Thursday, firing nine birdies before dropping his only shot of the day at the 18th after an errant tee shot to finish on eight under par.

Welcome back to my putting mat review series! In this article, I’m going to dive into what I like and dislike about the WellPutt putting mat.

The sheer amount of options can make it overwhelming to choose the right one. However, WellPutt sets itself apart from its competitors by offering a putting training system instead of just a practice mat. Quick Overview of The WellPutt Putting Green…
