Swinging clubs over and over helps to develop flexibility and strength. However, when it comes to the skill of golf, when it comes to scoring the best you can, most good…
If you asked me, an intermediate woman golfer, to pick my favorite club I wouldn’t even hesitate. My Callaway Steelhead 4 Hybrid is my favorite club, no doubt.

For women and seniors, hitting fairway woods is crucial to being able to make birdies and sometimes it’s…
If you think you’re the only one who gets sweaty palms and butterflies when stepping onto the #1 tee box, you’re wrong. Lots of people have first-tee anxieties (or, ALL tee box anxieties).
