Your Weekly Golf Fix

Issue #2 — April 2026 

  • The 5C Golf Performance System makes its debut — because apparently “just swing better” is not a complete coaching philosophy.
  • A golf rule gets dragged into daylight, kicking and screaming.
  • The lowly golf tee finally receives the unnecessary attention it deserves.
  • That first warm day of the season: the clubs are in the car, but your swing is still in the basement, hiding behind the furnace.
  • Costco golf clubs get inspected, questioned, and possibly judged.

Issue #3 — April 2026

• Ever hit a shot and immediately wonder if the clubface filed a separate flight plan?

• Tee boxes get explained, because apparently even starting the hole needs rules.

• A questionable water cup makes an appearance, and honestly, that’s probably enough said.

• Contact gets the spotlight — because the golf ball remains stubbornly interested in where the club actually hits it.

• A few golf mysteries are examined, judged, and left only slightly less confusing.

Issue #4 — April 2026

• Metal spikes disappeared from golf, mostly because apparently tearing up greens, carpets, and clubhouse floors was frowned upon.

• Free relief and penalty relief get sorted out, which is helpful because golfers love rules almost as much as they love three-putting.

• Golf balls go under the microscope — because yes, the one you found in the pond in 1997 may not be helping.

• Soft spikes may be missing from your shoes, which could explain why your footwork looks like a baby deer on laminate flooring.

• Club path and clubface at impact get their moment, because the ball keeps insisting those two things matter.

Issue #5 — May 2026

• A whiskey bottle may or may not have helped create 18 holes of golf, which is either history, mythology, or excellent marketing.

• Those pesky coloured stakes get explained, because apparently red, yellow, white, and blue all mean different kinds of trouble.

• Hole-in-one stories take centre stage — including the joy, disbelief, and suspicious amount of witnesses required.

• Golf bags get inspected, because some golfers are carrying enough equipment to survive a minor expedition.

• Centeredness of hit gets its moment, because the middle of the clubface remains annoyingly important.
