In an article from January 2016 titled “5 Lessons learned at the PGA Show”,  I included a statement which said that there are just too many golf apps out there. Fast forward 5 years, there are many more golf apps on the market and this article for the best golf apps you will actually use is even more relevant. Many apps attempt to do the same functions as the other, with only minor improvements over the existing apps.

The average golfer spends a lot of time working on their swing, finding a club that can hit the ball 5 yards further, and getting new wedges annually to put extra spin on the ball. Golfers rarely get fit for the right golf ball and often do not know how to find the best golf ball for them. It’s pretty easy for a single digit handicapper to figure out they need a premium ball, but is the Bridgestone, Srixon, Titleist, TalyorMade, Callaway or Nike the best premium ball for your game?

Before you keep reading, I need to confess that I’ve never had an official golf ball fitting. As a junior golfer I played the Titleist Tour Balatas, and then the Titleist Pro v 1’s since those were the balls I often found while caddying at Oyster Harbors on Cape Cod. The price was right, but was it really the right ball for my game? I, like many of you, probably do not think as much about the golf ball I play, and will most likely purchase whatever ball is stocked in the pro-shop.

Austin, Texas is one of the hottest cities in America right now, but this time we’re not talking about the weather. In 2015, Forbes named Austin as one of the “15 Best Cities for Young Adults”. Austin has quickly become known as the tech hub of Texas, and boasts one of the lowest unemployment rates and highest job growth rates. This self-proclaimed Music Capital of the World loves to “Keep Austin Weird”, which is evident while exploring south Austin, or the up-and-coming east side. What's the golf scene like in Austin though?

Finally the golf season is here....To celebrate the start of the season, Nextgengolf is hosting 7 Master's viewing parties across the country. Whether you are an avid golfer or just a fan of the game, we would love to have you join us.

The ‘best public golf course in the country’ isn’t far from the Bay Area. But at $495 for a round of golf at Pebble Beach Golf Links, playing that beautiful course might just be a once-in-a-lifetime moment for many. Fortunately for Bay Area golfers there are a number of excellent public golf courses that can be played for much less than half the cost, while also saving a bit on gas. Here's my list of the best public golf courses in the Bay Area.
