Have you seen the commercials of the long drive champ? This guy wraps his driver around his head while twisting himself into a pretzel. His secret is the incredible torque he builds up with his incredible shoulder turn and compact hip turn. Although torque is a good ...

This Aldila NV Voodoo shaft is piping hot! After you hit a big drive with this bad boy, you should give your playing partners the treatment by juggling the club in your hands while pretending you are getting burned! Buyer beware though: this shaft is for ...

No, this is not a dart for your blow gun! This is a golf tee. This revolutionary design is intended to reduce resistance, thus giving you more distance. This tee is "the only tee proven in both robotic and field tests to improve distance." Wow, ...

I'm not a big fan of the "Plain Jane" grey color of this Grafalloy shaft, but it does have some pretty cool technology. Grafalloy is preferred by many golfers because it has some advantages over pure graphite shafts. Let's take a look.

This ProLaunch Platinum Grafalloy shaft is made ...

What the heck is Grafalloy? This sounds like a made up word to me. The actual material used in this shaft is a Smart-Ply fiber. This Smart-Ply technology is comprised of "six unique cross-linked fiber axes." This is where the graphite ...

These tees are completely unbreakable! Holy cow! If only the back bumper of my truck were made out this stuff, I could've saved a lot of money in insurance.

These bad boys are big on the European tour. They are made in Germany. They look like ...

As many golfers may not realize, the shaft is the engine of the golf club. Without the right shaft, a good golf swing can actually be hindered by an inferior club shaft.

If you are checking out this KBS Tour shaft, I will assume you know a ...

If I gave you $100 to tell me all the shafts that are currently in your sticks, would you be able to? Okay, maybe if you are reading this review, then you might know a little more than the common weekend hacker. So I take it ...

Quick question: If this is the "last tee I will ever buy," why does this set come with eight tees? Hmmm.

Reminds me of my father's favorite joke: A guy walking on the beach finds a bottle, picks it up, and a genie pops out granting him three ...

If you asked me a few years ago what kind of shaft was in my driver, I would have given you a blank look and tilt my head to the side like my German Shepard does when I ask her if she is hungry. The only thing ...

Independent tests prove that you will get 3 to 7 yards more distance using these tees. This could be a good thing -- unless you slice it, and those extra seven yards take your ball into a creek. (True golfers can find the negative in everything.)

The idea ...

If you are like most of us, then you've played this game for years and never noticed the shaft that was in your golf club. That's like picking out a car without knowing what kind of engine is under the hood. If you are reading this review, ...

So it's time to head off to Myrtle Beach for your annual golf trip, and you're looking for something to protect the kids. This generic Golf Digest Travel Cover will do the trick, but it's not the nicest thing in the world.

The pros: It will hold that big ...

This is a very unique golf book, and I haven't seen anything quite like it. It's a hodgepodge of golf writings by sports writers, humorists, and essayists. I'm not sure which one Jack Nicklaus qualifies as, but he contributed to this book as well.

More specifically, this is an ...

When my Powerball numbers come up and I am a multimillionaire, I have a great idea: I'm going to play golf every day for one year. It shall be a different course every day, and I shall take a picture of the most beautiful hole on ...

This is one of those books you open up and two hours later the bookstore owner informs you that they are getting ready to close the store. It's a scenic trip to fifty gorgeous courses that most of us will only dream of playing. But that doesn't mean ...

I really want this watch. I'm not a gadget guy, and I don't wear a watch, but I really want this watch.

Where do I start? This watch is the golf geek's ideal toy, especially if you're the kind of golf geek that analyzes the ba-jeepers out of ...

I have just a little bit of time to write this review as my car is waiting. After a hard day of watching the market and polishing the bronze statue of myself that sits in the foyer of my multimillion-dollar penthouse office, I do enjoy stroking a few putts.

At ...

This is an ugly mailbox. Look, I know you are dedicated to your sport and you can't wait to get this thing out by the street. This mail box screams, "Look at me, I'm a golfer!" I realize you are committed. But if you buy ...

Sing it with me: "I'm alright, don't nobody worry 'bout me… " Of course, that's the Caddyshack theme, simply the best golf movie ever made.

This is the movie that brought us famous quotes like "Be the ball, Danny" and "Noonan" that you hear on the golf course ...

I'm sure the neighbors already know that you are an avid golfer. If the golf bag mail box didn't tip them off or they didn't notice the putting green in the back yard, they should catch on when they see the "I Golf, Therefore I Am Not Here" ...

Is your golf game lacking balls? Ahem. Here's a great gag gift for that golf fanatic in your life, or perhaps a prize to give away at your next company golf tournament. It's a sack to keep your balls in. Your golf balls, ...

The LPGA tour is gaining popularity, and more and more girls are picking up the game. I think a big part of this trend is the cool fashion designs that the ladies are sporting. Here's a great concept invented by Vicki Waldorf, wife of PGA Tour pro Duffy ...

This is a really cool cribbage board. In fact, I'm going to learn to play cribbage just to have an excuse to buy this thing. I'm not kidding.

The thing I like best about this is the board is it's made of solid aspen wood with a ...

This is such a great idea! Vicki Waldorf, wife of PGA Tour pro Duffy Waldorf, started this company when she realized there were no baseball caps designed for women. The name comes from a nickname she gave her daughter who, when she was a baby, used ...

This hat is very cool! Maybe it's because I'm as old as Brett Favre, but I'm not a big fan of the flashy, loud hat with the flat brim. Ah, but this simple, solid colored Ashworth hat is right up my alley.

Of course, when I think of Ashworth ...

Gentlemen, this is a call to arms. It's time you quit ignoring the golf landfill that is your trunk. Look at the bright side: once you do the work and get your trunk organized, you're going to find at least a half a dozen golf balls that you ...

Here's Callaway's answer to the Sky Caddie. It is a fancy golf GPS that gives you exact yardages to anything you desire while you play the course. It's pretty cool, too, especially the Pro Mode which provides you with an aerial flyover of the hole ...

It's golf gadget time. Here's an interesting concept for two hundred and fifty schmolies. But rest assured, this is going to pay for itself in lost golf balls. It's a radar detector for your balls.

The only catch is you have to use their special ...

"WHO DAT?! WHO DAT THINK THEY GONNA BEAT DEM SAINTS?!" It's true: the Saints are going to the Superbowl! It's the first time in their 43-year history.

Sing it with me, "Oh when the Saints, oh when the Saints, oh when the Saints go marching in..."

The Saints ...

Here's an interesting looking rain hat. And by interesting, of course I mean ugly.

The hat is designed to keep your head dry when playing out on the links. It "smooshes" up very compact and will fit in any pocket in your golf bag. It is ...

Sing it with me: "Raindrops keep falling on my head… "

I live in Portland, OR, where we have two kinds of weather in the winter: Raining Hard, and Drizzle. An avid golfer like me needs everything to be waterproof right down to my underwear (which comes in handy ...

If Indiana Jones lived in Seattle, this would be his hat of choice. It has been tested in the Northwest, where I can confirm we get some crazy downpours. This bad boy should be in every golfers' golf bag that lives in a rainy area.

This hat comes with ...

Being a Florida Gator fan, it pains me tremendously to review this Alabama Crimson Tide Divot Tool & Ball Marker. But I must feature them and give them their "props" for winning the 2009 NCAA Football Championship. If you're a ‘Bama fan, then you'll want to support ...

Roll Tide! Congrats to the 2009 NCAA Football Champions, the Alabama Crimson Tide. Of course if you are fan (and a golfer) you will need to get your Alabama Crimson Tide Hat Clip & Ball markers. You don't have to get Alabama, you can get any ...

The first time is saw one of these, I didn't realize it was a decal. I thought, "Wow, that's really cool that somebody loves golf so much, he'd drive a golf ball into his car window and just leave it there."

I spent a lot of time trying to ...

The last time I played golf with my buddies, I got a dirty look because I made so much noise rifling through my golf bag trying to find a long tee. The inside of my golf bag looks like a bomb exploded inside it and filled it full ...

"If there's no GOLF in heaven - I'm not goin'!" My sentiments exactly!

So maybe you're a little obsessed with golf. Perhaps your television is always on the Golf Channel, you receive Golf Digest monthly, and of course, your homepage is Zipgolfer.com. This is all perfectly ...

I've been reading this magazine for the last twenty years. (I'm a slow reader.) Golf Digest is the quintessential golf magazine. There are others, but this is the best one.

One reason that makes them the best is they get all the top tour pros and teachers to ...

Oakley is your market leader in sports eyewear. If these shades look familiar, it's because you probably saw them on Tour pros Annika Sorenstam or Ian Poulter. They're designed specifically for golfers and are fashionable to boot.

The frames are very lightweight but also very durable. The ...

This is an affordable golf GPS by Garmin compared to some of the leading brands. Garmin of course invented the GPS, and GolfLogix has designed a basic interface to give you yardages while you play your favorite course.

The first thing I will tell you is there is a ...

Golf is no longer a sport for us dorks and old guys. The LPGA tour is gaining more and more popularity, and the kids are all getting on the bandwagon. No wonder I can never get a tee time. (Of course, I'm just kidding; I ...

I wish I were a girl so I could sport one of these cool Gogie hats. (Did I just say that? I really should save these confessions for my group therapy.)

Seriously though, I really like this product. Vicki Waldorf, wife of PGA Tour pro Duffy Waldorf, ...

I'm sure you and your golf buddies have had this argument a few times: "Who is the best golfer ever?" Or "Who are the greatest golfers of all time?" "If all the greats could play together in their prime, who would come out ahead, and how much cash ...

This bestseller is aptly named, "A Good Walk Spoiled." I believe John Feinstein borrowed the title from Mark Twain, and anybody who's played the game can relate. I read this book four years ago, and it still stands as one of the best golf books ...

I don't remember where I was when Kennedy was shot or when Elvis died, but I'll never forget the 2008 US Open. This played out more dramatically than a Walt Disney movie. (To confess, I was not born yet when Kennedy was shot, and I was just 7 ...

If you are a golf geek like me, then you remember the 2008 US Open like it was yesterday. This tournament played out more dramatically than the movie Sea Biscuit, and Rocco Mediate was more likable and easier to root for than Rocky Balboa.

For those of you that are ...

"Hey Arnie, does this purple sweater make me look fat?"

Okay, perhaps that's not what Jack is saying to Arnold. I apologize. I have nothing but the utmost respect for these two masters. This photo was taken at the 1993 Masters. It's a cool photo of ...

I've told you about my golf den... the one that I sit in and smoke my pipe and wax philosophical? Don't believe the rumors that it's really a small closet in my bedroom with one folding chair and a cheap card table.

This is the perfect piece of art to hang ...

Grab your shag bag and throw it in the back of your Jag! Every serious golfer has a shag bag in the trunk of their car. When you have a shagger full of balls, you don't need anything more than one golf club and an open field.

Some of the best ...
