I am very fortunate to be in play off the tee more often than not. It is something I rely on to set up my good rounds and save me from my poor ones. So, I decided to provide a compilation of my best drives of 2020. It took me a year to create and I realize I am bragging a bit, but heck, why not.

Buying Forgiving Clubs
As many new players enter the golfing arena, there is an important aspect of buying golf clubs that should not be overlooked.

I do not know how many rounds of golf I played where I have gained a stroke just to lose it on the next hole.
