The Golfing Lad

Precision Pro has built a reputation for making quality rangefinders that don’t cost a fortune. The NX10 is their latest flagship, and it’s aimed squarely at golfers who want great performance without the learning curve. I’ve been using the NX10 for several months now — through summer heat, fall winds, and everything in between. Here’s my honest precision pro nx10 review after putting it through real rounds, not just range sessions. The Bottom Line (TL;DR) The Precision Pro NX10 is…

If you’ve been playing golf for twenty or thirty years, you already know the game. You understand course management, you’ve grooved your swing through countless rounds, and you’ve probably forgotten more about club selection than most beginners will ever learn. But here’s the thing — your body is working with different specs than it was a decade ago, and the equipment that served you well at 45 may actually be working against you now. This isn’t about admitting defeat. It’s…

Slapping a GPS watch on your wrist before a round is one of those small changes that makes a surprisingly big difference. You stop hunting for sprinkler heads, you stop second-guessing yourself between clubs, and you actually walk up to the ball with a plan. That said, not every golf GPS watch is worth your money — some are overpriced fitness trackers with a course database bolted on, and some are genuinely purpose-built tools that’ll change how you think about…

You don’t need to spend $400 to get a putter that actually performs. I know — the golf industry has spent decades convincing us that only a Scotty Cameron or a high-end Bettinardi will do. And sure, if you want to drop that kind of cash, we’ve reviewed those too. But the truth is, the best putters under $200 in 2026 are genuinely excellent — not “good for the price,” not “close enough.” Actually excellent. In this roundup, I tested…

If you’re sitting somewhere between a 10 and a 20 handicap, you’re in what I’d call the most interesting spot in golf. You’re not a beginner — you’ve figured out most of the basics, you can stripe a 7-iron when things click, and you’ve started caring about ball flight and shot shape. But you’re also not a low-single-digit grinder who can squeeze performance out of a butter knife. You need irons that meet you exactly where you are: forgiving enough…

Picking your first driver is one of those decisions that feels way more complicated than it needs to be. Walk into any golf shop and you’re staring at a wall of options, each one promising distance, forgiveness, and a better game. It’s a lot. The truth is, for a beginner, the right driver comes down to a handful of straightforward priorities — and most of the options in the $300–$600 range will serve you just fine if you know what…

Let me be straight with you: the American Southwest is the single best region in the country for a dedicated golf trip. I’m not saying that lightly. You’ve got 300+ days of sunshine per year, courses designed by the greatest architects who ever lived, and resort experiences that’ll make you question why you’re paying rent anywhere else. Scottsdale alone has more top-100 courses than most entire states. Throw in Sedona’s red rock drama, Las Vegas’s value-driven scene, Palm Springs’s old-Hollywood…

The differences are that dramatic. Understanding golf course styles — how they were built, how they play, and what they demand from you — is one of the fastest ways to improve your scores and, honestly, your enjoyment of the…

Pebble Beach Golf Links needs no hype from me. It’s played six U.S. Opens, hosted Tom Watson’s chip-in at 17, and made Jack Nicklaus cry in 1972. When you drive through the gates off Hwy 1 and catch your first glimpse of the Pacific from the 4th fairway, you’ll understand why golfers save up for years just to play it once. Pebble Beach — the greatest public golf experience But here’s what most Pebble Beach reviews miss: this place is…
