UNUSUAL GOLF FORMATS THAT CHANGE HOW THE GAME IS PLAYED
Golf is often imagined as a quiet contest of individual skill, eighteen holes, and a score-built stroke by stroke. Yet beneath that familiar structure lies a more experimental side of the sport. Over time, golfers have created formats that alter scoring, teamwork, strategy, and even the size of the hole. Split Sixes is among the […]
GOLF MYTHS THAT HAVE SURVIVED FOR GENERATIONS
Golf has always carried mythology. Over generations, stories about how the game should be played have become almost as familiar as the game itself. Some are rooted in history, while others have simply been repeated often enough to sound true. Yet several become less certain when examined against the modern game. One enduring myth is […]
WHY EVERY GOLFER HAS A FAVOURITE GOLF BALL
A golf ball plays a significant role in a golfer’s game. It is involved in every shot, from the drive to the final putt. While golfers focus on clubs, shafts, and swing technique, the ball influences how those choices translate into distance, trajectory, spin, and control. Over time, these differences can make one ball stand […]
THE GROWING POPULARITY OF GOLF STAYCATIONS
A golf break was once imagined as a journey to a distant course, requiring careful planning around travel, tee times, and accommodation. Today, that rhythm is changing. Golfers are increasingly discovering that a satisfying escape does not always require going far. Nearby courses can turn a free weekend into a golf staycation, bringing play, relaxation, […]
WHY EVERY GREAT GOLF ROUND BEGINS BEFORE THE FIRST SWING?
A golf round begins with the opening tee shot, yet its outcome is influenced much earlier. Before a club meets the ball, golfers start making decisions that shape the round. Collecting their thoughts, observing the surroundings, and settling into a familiar rhythm create the foundation for confident play. More often than not, the difference between […]
COULD NINE-HOLE GOLF SHAPE THE FUTURE OF RECREATIONAL GOLF?
Golf has always offered more than competition. For recreational golfers, the game is about enjoying time outdoors, sharing conversations between shots, and returning to the course whenever life allows it. As modern routines become busier, dedicating several hours to a single round may not always be practical. This shift is quietly reshaping recreational golf, making […]
WHAT MAKES CERTAIN GOLF COURSES TRULY MEMORABLE?
Some golf courses become favourites not because of a single spectacular hole, but because every round unfolds with a sense of purpose, discovery, and quiet anticipation. What sets these courses apart is the careful balance of design, landscape, and atmosphere that consistently shapes the overall playing experience. These elements encourage strategic decision-making throughout the round, […]
GENDER PARTICIPATION TRENDS IN PROFESSIONAL GOLF
For generations, professional golf was often perceived as a sport shaped primarily by male participation. The game’s most visible stages and established traditions reflected that reality, influencing how many people viewed both the sport and their place within it. Today, that picture is gradually changing. Across professional golf, gender participation trends point to a game […]
WHY IS GOLF FASHION MAKING A COMEBACK ON AND OFF THE COURSES?
Fashion in Golf has always been about more than clothing. For decades, it reflected the traditions of the game—polished polos, tailored trousers, and a style that conveyed respect for both the sport and its culture. While these classic elements remain, golf apparel is no longer confined to fairways and clubhouses. Today, it is re-emerging as […]
THE HIDDEN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF GOLF COURSES
Golf courses are often associated with calm landscapes, open green spaces, and carefully maintained fairways that appear to exist in harmony with nature. Yet beneath this polished surface lies a more complicated environmental story—one shaped by water consumption, chemical use, land transformation, and ecological trade-offs. One of the most significant concerns surrounding golf courses is […]
