So it's time to get the bambino (or bambi-nette) a set of golf clubs. This is a pretty snazzy beginner set. This set of US Kids 2008 has five golf clubs including a driver and a putter.

This Ultralight Series is designed for the first-time golfer made with ...

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 ...

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 Launcher DST Fairway Wood is designed to be light and long. In fact the Mitsubishi Diamana Red shaft is 43-1/2 inches and weighs 64 grams. The clubhead is also very light with its 0.55-millimeter crown. The clubface is oversized and plasma-welded.

The 3-wood comes in three lofts: ...

Here's a comfortable, inexpensive golf shoe from Nike. I really like this Nike Air Tour Golf shoe because you are getting a lot of shoe for a low price.

The shoe is very sporty looking, all black with a grey swoosh. The full-grain leather is extremely comfortable and gives ...

Check out this ultra comfortable shoe from Adidas. This shoe is so comfortable you could almost go jogging in it. Let's take a closer look.

The secret behind its extreme comfort is the 50/50 Protect technology. This revolutionary technology uses a water and soil repellent material in the lower ...

Ogio. I can't help but think of dunking cookies in milk instead of golf. But regardless of the company name, this is a pretty nice little golf bag. I say "little" not because of the size -- it's pretty standard -- but because it is so light! ...

I complained and complained about the 2-Ball putter not having a line on in it, and lo and behold I find this Odyssey White Hot XG 2-Ball Lined Standard Putter. Now this is a 2-Baller I can get behind!

The 2-ball putters started the big mallet putter craze some time ago. ...

Uh-oh! I think the execs over at Odyssey are reading my blogs. They must be, because a few weeks ago I was complaining about how their 2-ball putters don't have a line on them for an alignment aid. I even talked about how I had tried ...

Here's an interesting-looking putter from Nike. (Those of you who read me frequently have figured out when I say "interesting," it's always my euphemism for "ugly.") Let's take a look at this interesting-looking putter.

The Nike Oz #3 is a mallet style heel-shafted putter. The putter has dual site ...

Call me a snob, but I usually try to avoid buying anything with the word "economy" in the name. Look, I'm not rich, but just the same I like to invest a little more money on something of quality than a cheap piece of garbage.

With that in mind, let's take ...

I'm not a big range finder guy. I think I got soured on them because of a certain incident...

One time I played in a OGA tournament and was paired with this guy who used one on every single shot. I'm not exaggerating. He would be 35 feet ...

I live in the great Northwest. If you are a golfer in the great Northwest, then you need to possess two important qualities: You must be able to drink copious amounts of coffee, and you must have gills. We golfers that go out in the drenching rains (that ...

Let's get this over with. Look at the picture... All together now. "Awwwwwwwwwwww!"

It's Kenny's first pull cart. How sweet! It won't be long before he'll be out on the course chunking shots and throwing his clubs just like the grownups.

Of course, I'm kidding. It is important to ...

Go Cougs! Okay, I have to admit I'm really more of a Washington Husky fan. I lived in Seattle for a few years and I was lucky to make it to quite a few games (both basketball and football.) I did make many friends that are ...

I knew it would come to this.

But I have to be honest. Brutally and painfully honest. I'll call myself out, and if you fit in with me, you'll know what I'm talking about. If not, then don't take any offense to this, and knock yourself out with this product.

Here ...

True story: Several years ago I was working for a startup restaurant concept. (Currently the company has hundreds of stores.) The founder and CEO knew I was a golfer, and invited me out to his private golf club. I was really excited, and practiced and practiced until the ...

Hybrids are all the rage. Why shouldn't the Nicklaus Corp jump on the bandwagon? These hybrids include the 2 with an 18 degree loft, the 3 with a 21 degree loft, a 4 with a 24 degree loft, and a 5 with a 27 degree loft.

I like these hybrids for ...

The old bag deserved a proper burial at sea! My old golf bag, that is. Although, my golf buddy Larry thought the lake at #17 wasn't necessarily the most appropriate spot. Larry is always waxing philosophical with this "right time and right place" nonsense. What could be ...

Walk into any golf store and you'll see hundreds of clubs that are all essentially the same. From Nike to Callaway to Titleist to all of those cheap brands you've never bothered to try, there isn't a whole lot of innovation across the board from leading golf brands. And it's not ...

The Callaway Sport Era Golf Shoe is Callaway's take on a semi-formal, comfortable golf shoe. It is designed to be light, breathable, durable and stylish, while not breaking the bank.

The shoe is lined with moisture-wicking, breathable material that will keep your feet cool and dry, which fixes a problem often encountered ...

The Callaway Warbird Hot Stand is a golf bag based on one of life's fundamental rules: if it ain't broke, don't fix it! Callaway didn't aim to revolutionize the golf bag industry with the Warbird Hot, but rather fine-tune the typical stand bag to make for an exceptional product.

The first ...

The TaylorMade Men's Burner 460 Ti Driver is, simply put, an exceptional golf club. While it doesn't aim to change the industry in any major way, it brings enough small innovations to the table to stake its claim as one of the best drivers on the market.

The most spectacular ...
