What Age Can a Child Start Playing Golf?
Most children can start playing with golf clubs around age 2 or 3, as long as it's play rather than practice. Structured golf lessons usually make more sense around age 5 or 6. That's when most kids have the balance, coordination, and attention span that organized sports need. The years in between are where parents […]
What Can I Do If a Golf Company Won't Refund My Money?
You followed the reasonable steps. You cancelled, you emailed support, you asked politely for your money back. And now you've got either silence, a canned reply pointing at a terms page, or a flat “all sales are final.” This is the point where most people give up, and the companies that operate this way are […]
How Do You Choose the Right Golf Swing Trainer?
You choose a golf swing trainer by working out which part of your swing is actually breaking down first, then buying a tool that addresses that specific thing — because most trainers are built to fix the arms, hands and clubface, and a lot of the faults golfers struggle with start further down, in the […]
What's the RS1 Putter Like on the Course? After One Round, It's Staying in My Bag
After one round with the Performance Golf RS1, it's staying in my bag, even though my first nine holes were rough. The ball started where I aimed nearly every time. The adjustment was all about speed: I had five three-putts on the front nine and only one on the back. I've written a lot about […]
Why Do I Stand Up During My Golf Swing? Early Extension Explained
The Short Answer Standing up during your swing is called early extension — your hips push toward the ball and your spine straightens before impact, instead of maintaining the angle you set at address. It causes thin shots, blocks to the right, hooks, and inconsistent contact. Here's the part most golfers get wrong: early extension […]
Why Did a Golf Website Charge Me Monthly After a Free Trial?
You downloaded a free PDF of golf tips. Maybe you claimed a “free” video series about fixing your slice, or a $1 trial of some swing program. Weeks later, a charge appears on your statement — $27, $37, sometimes $49 — from a company name you half-recognize, and there's no memory of ever agreeing to […]
Is the LAB Golf DF3 Putter Worth the Price? A Complete Review for 2026
The LAB Golf DF3 is one of the most technically interesting putters in the current market and one of the most polarizing. Its Lie Angle Balancing technology is based on genuine engineering principles, its build quality is legitimate, and its performance benefits for the right golfer are real and measurable.

Is the PG1 App Better Than Golf Lessons? An Honest Comparison
The Short Answer If you have never had a qualified instructor look at your swing, take a lesson first. One hour with a competent local pro will do more for you than any app, and it costs less than PG1's annual tier in most of the country. If you've had lessons before, practice regularly, and […]
How Can I Fix My Slice at Home Without a Driving Range?
Range time is the scarcest resource in recreational golf. Between work, a 40-minute drive, and $18 a bucket, most golfers who genuinely want to fix a slice get maybe two sessions a month — which is not enough repetition to change anything. Here's the good news, and it's bigger than it sounds: most of what […]
Active vs Passive Putter Stability: Which Technology Actually Keeps the Face Square?
If you've spent any time researching alignment putters, you've almost certainly encountered two terms that get used in very different contexts without much explanation of what they actually mean: active face squaring and passive face squaring. Both claim to solve the same problem — inconsistent face angle at impact — but they solve it in […]
