As a Breeo fan and aspiring outdoor cooking aficionado, I can only marvel at what he does with tomahawk steaks and shrimp skewers, but at least I can find solace in knowing that my family at least appreciates the burgers and snacks I’ve whipped up on my X Series 24.

Planning a trip to the Maldives can seem like a daunting task, which is why the goal of any vacation in this luxurious destination is to find ultimate bliss and relaxation.

Whenever friends or family members ask me for travel advice, my answer is almost always: “Go to Costa Rica.” If they resist or counter with that chain resort on that party island they go to every year, I strengthen my tone and reply, “I told you to go to Costa Rica.” Why? Because this Central American paradise has everything, including beautiful beaches, breathtaking rainforests, and some of the coolest hotels and resorts on the planet. For example: Cielo Lodge.

One of the coolest things about golf right now is how there are so many creative new companies popping up all over the industry. While variety makes it a little tougher to choose between products, it also promotes affordability, and that’s a great thing for a sport that has long been tough to crack or even unattainable for a lot of people. Now, thanks to daring entrepreneurs, kids and adults alike can set their goals and play like professionals.
