Expert Reviews & Gear Guides for Canadian Golfers
Your shoulder knows the exact moment a round stops being fun.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not imagining things — a lightweight … Read more
Rain doesn’t RSVP. It shows up on the back nine, uninvited, and suddenly you’re jamming a soggy glove into a pocket that’s already swallowed a puddle. If you’ve ever unzipped a “water-resistant” bag after a downpour and found your rangefinder swimming, you already know why waterproof golf bags exist in the first place — and … Read more

Then I watched a buddy at my home course try to lean his brand-new bag against a cart and watched it topple sideways into a … Read more
Somewhere between the parking lot and the first tee, your golf bag quietly decides how the next four hours are going to feel. Pick wrong, and by hole 14 your shoulder is filing a formal complaint.
