2 days ago | golfpass.com | Tim Gavrich |Jason Deegan

This month's dispatch from the golf gear world will keep you cool and improve your on-course music experience. Courtesy images SAN JOSE, Calif. - If we've learned anything over the past five years reviewing new equipment for GolfPass, it's to expect the unexpected, especially from brands outside of the "Big Four" equipment manufacturers.

OAKMONT, Pa. - The Oakmont Country Club membership is just built different. For them, shooting a high number and catching a beatdown from one of golf's most fearsome tests is a badge of honor. Are the best players in the world ready for such humility? When Oakmont hosts its record 10th U.S. Open this week, it will do so following a significant restoration by Gil Hanse. Will this new - yet throwback - 7,372-yard, par-70 golf course be the same meat grinder that has devoured players for generations?

PORTMARNOCK, Ireland - I'm always skeptical when I get a press release that says "our course is better after a redesign". If the course was already good, it shouldn't have needed a redesign, right? I felt that same twinge of uncertainty when I got the news that the Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links had been redone and rebranded as the Jameson Golf Links in fall 2023. Whenever I played the original Bernhard Langer routing, I always walked away feeling let down.

By now, we've all teed it up probably a half dozen times in 2025. We're starting to get a feel for how the season might go. Maybe you've started out of the gate fast, feeling confident and ready for the #bestsummereva ... Or maybe you start slowly every year, shaking off the rust one round at a time. Whatever the case, you should have evaluated the state of your game, especially from the shopping perspective. How many new shirts do I need? What new shoes will get me through the summer?
Why social media's #shrinkthegame message has no place in golf

1 month ago | golfpass.com | Jason Deegan

There’s a hashtag floating around social media that’s should disturb you if you truly love golf:#shrinkthegameIt reflects the sentiment of golfers who despise the current situation surrounding public golf.
