Here I will share my thoughts on technology, golf, and faith.
As we finish up Q1 2025, I thought it would be fun to share what’s currently in my golf bag. I’m always interested in seeing what other golfers are playing, so I hope this gives you some insight into my setup. I will outline what I am playing, and at the end, I will tell you which clubs are my favorites and which are on thin ice. The Bag Product: Titleist Links Legend Bag ...
When it comes to putting, we’re all searching for a mythical magic eraser that will cure all of our putting woes. Today, I’m diving into my experience with the LAB Golf putter. Although LAB is currently making waves in the industry, it is too soon to tell whether or not Lie Angle Balance technology is truly the future. My Personal Experience My very first thought about the DF3 was holy cow this thing is ugly. Immediately upon picking you might think that someone accidentally bent the shaft, but a slight forward press is built into the grip of the putter. Also, if you are a former blade enjoyer like myself you might be thrown off by the additional weight. However, the lab putter is heavier than a blade it oddly doesn’t feel as heavy as it should given its looks, and is certainly lighter than many mallets on the market. All of these things were rushing through my head as I brought my new putter home and went straight to my putting mat. For context, my usual putting routine is hitting six-footers until I miss, and with my old Taylormade Ghost Tour, I was able to consistently make 8 to ten in a row with my best being 14. Running the same drill with the lab putter as soon as I took the plastic off of the grip I poured in 30 six-footers in a row! When I eventually did miss I started over and made 40 in a row my next attempt. I kid you not my first reaction was to call all my friends and tell them to take out a second mortgage to get one in the bag as fast as possible. Unfortunately, this putting mat high was met with some on-course lows. I immediately put the DF3 in the bag, and while I was extremely confident that I could hit my line speed control was another story. In my first week of ownership with the DF3 I had a few putts that ended up further from the hole than I started. Overall, I am happy to say that those were just growing pains, and after completing my first month with the DF3 I am feeling as confident as ever standing all of my putts. I think the best part of the DF3 is actually a side effect. It has allowed me to trust the putter and focus only on my target allowing me to no longer overthink my stroke on every putt. ...
Today, I had the incredible opportunity to tee it up with one of our local club professionals Seth Murphy. Like many amateur golfers, I’d always wondered what makes professional players so special. After 18 holes alongside Seth, I got my answer – and it wasn’t what I expected. The setting of today’s story is HTCC, but unlike any normal round today there were wind gusts up to 35 mph spicing things up. ...
As a 10 handicap golfer, I’ve learned that patience is not just a virtue in golf—it’s a necessity. Patience is one of the fruits of the spirit, and being a born-again believer I have access to unlimited patience right? Well not exactly, while actively seeking Christ and living according to his word will produce patience in us, but none of us are perfect. That being said next time you duff a chip or blade a sand wedge 200 yards being patient with yourself and slow to anger might just rescue your round. ...

No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.” - Matthew 5:14-16 ...
My Golf Journey I started playing golf as a kid, and while I took a break from the game during college I have now returned to the game and have been hooked ever since. I am a range warrior who is trying to heal some scars left behind by junior golf as well as cope with swinging the club well and still scoring badly. As a mid-handicap player, I’ve experienced both the thrills of great rounds and the challenges that every golfer faces. Through this blog, I aim to: ...
