As a lifestyle editor, I’m constantly looking for those ‘aha!’ moments in golf – the insights that don’t just improve your swing but truly transform your experience of the game. And let me tell you, when I stumbled upon Matt Walter’s insights on putting, my ears perked up. Because, much like life itself, we often get stuck in conventional wisdom, believing it’s the only path. Think about it: how many times have you heard the same old golf clichés? “Keep your head down!” “Straight back, straight through!” We apply these rigid rules, not just to our putts, but sometimes to…

How to use the bounce of your club to control your wedges.

You need this drill to deliver the club into the slot with every swing.

As a lifestyle editor who practically lives and breathes golf culture, I’m always looking for ways to bridge the gap between peak performance on the course and a fulfilling life off it. And let’s be honest, few things are as foundational to feeling your best, whether you’re chasing birdies or simply enjoying a round with friends, as what you put into your body. That’s why a recent piece on supplements really caught my eye. It took me back to my own childhood, to those ubiquitous Flintstone vitamins, whose purple Barney and orange Bamm-Bamm shapes were a daily ritual I never…

As Lifestyle Editor for The Daily Duffer, I’m always looking for those stories that transcend the leaderboard, the ones that dig into the human element of golf. It’s not just about the birdies and bogeys; it’s about the mindset, the dedication, and the personal journeys that shape us, both on and off the course. And sometimes, the most compelling stories come from unexpected places – like a player’s quiet, unwavering belief in himself, even when it means saying “no” to a coveted invitation. Enter Chris Gotterup. You might know him from his recent wins, but his story offers something deeper.…

As a lifestyle editor, I’m always fascinated by what motivates us, especially in the context of golf. It’s a game that demands so much – dedication, focus, and often, significant physical effort. But what keeps us coming back, striving for that perfect swing or that elusive birdie? I’ve found it’s often the little things, those personal motivators that transform a routine into a rewarding ritual. And today, I want to talk about a concept that, while sounding a bit cheeky, is incredibly effective: strategic bribery. Now, before you picture clandestine envelopes changing hands on the 18th green, let’s reframe “bribery”…

As the Lifestyle Editor here at The Daily Duffer, I’ve had countless conversations with golfers – from weekend warriors to aspiring pros – about their aspirations both on and off the course. We all embark on new journeys, whether it’s lowering our handicap, finally committing to a consistent fitness routine, or even just adopting a healthier diet. And almost universally, the start of a new year brings with it a surge of resolutions. But as anyone with a Netflix subscription and a half-filled gym membership knows, those good intentions often fizzle out faster than a three-putt bogey. I recently read…

In the vibrant world of golf, where every swing tells a story and every course offers a new horizon, it’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of improvement. Whether it’s shaving strokes off your handicap, finding that perfect driver, or simply feeling more comfortable on the course, we’re all looking for an edge. And in our hyper-connected world, advice seems to be everywhere – from the greens to our screens. But, as I’ve been reminded recently, not all advice is created equal.
