Adapting to a new generation of golfers

We are excited that the City Tour will continue to operate at courses across the country.  While the start of the season will be similar to last year as far as tournament operations go, we hope to be back to somewhat normalcy at some point this summer. Please see below for a overview on how tournaments will look this year and what you can expect when coming out to participate!

All new for 2021, Srixon has recently launched the ZX line of irons. Having three distinct models, the ZX line offers something for everyone. If you are thinking about new irons for 2021, your search should start and stop at Srixon ZX irons. Every Srixon iron is #BuiltForDistance while offering so many options for customization and getting the right iron in your hand for your best game in 2021. 

Adding style to your wardrobe is not easily done. When I am looking to add a little bit of personality to my golf style without having to totally change the complete outfit, I look to my belt to make a statement. I’m not talking about a white belt or an Anthony Kim belt buckle, I am talking about a few companies that make the absolute best belts. Whether it is a logo’d belt from your favorite course or something that matches your personality, take a look at these 4 best golf belts to add to your belt loops this season. 

Music has been an increasingly big part of the golf experience. Recently on a trip to Myrtle Beach, we were able to directly link our phones to the speakers built into the cart and have music at a comfortable level and enjoyed by just our cart. Even though that was a fantastic experience, not all carts are equipped with speakers. If you are looking to have music on the course this season, these are some of the best speakers you can have on the course. 

We are excited that the City Tour will continue to operate at courses across the country.  While the start of the season was pushed back, we have rescheduled tournament dates and added new courses in each city to have around the same number of total tournaments. The City Tour Championship at Kiawah Resort will still take place during the originally scheduled dates in early December.

Every major sport has a counterpart in the video game world. Football has Madden, MLB The Show is coming to Xbox next year, hockey has an annual EA NHL game released along with FIFA and basketball has 2K in an annual fashion. Since Rory McIlroy PGA Tour was released some 5 years ago, we have yet to see a golf game gather as much attention as the Tiger Woods licensed games received back in the day. 

The intersection of being a golfer and gamer can be tough sometimes, especially when the weather is nice. Do I play golf or do I pick up the controller and transport myself to a course I only have dreams of playing? Luckily for the past 20 years, I have been able to have both golf and video games together and this is the top video games that make golf more fun and enjoyable for everyone. 

We all know that the official start of the PGA Tour calendar is the fall series but I already have my eyes set on January when some of the heavy hitting tournaments start to get rolling. In the months leading up to the condensed major season, there is a huge chance for players to make a push to put themselves on the top of the FedEx Cup standings and in the spotlight. Srixon/Cleveland Golf is no stranger to having their players on the biggest stages and there are a few that are going to have stand out seasons. 

A laser rangefinder is a must have in everyone’s golf bag. Whether it is getting the exact distance to the pin, getting distances to fixed points on the course or knowing your yardages, the NX9 from Precision Pro outperforms each and every rangefinder I’ve had. Here are 3 reasons Precision Pro has improved my golf experience. 

Like the tires on your car, golf grips are something you use every time you pick up a club. Similar to your tires, you may not even know how they affect the performance of your product. Golf grips in general are something that can have a big effect on the feel of the club, its performance, and ultimately your score when playing. When selecting new grips for your clubs, consider some of these main points and differences. 

Waiting for launches from your favorite club producer can be one of the most anticipated waiting periods for any golfer. When Srixon initially teased it’s new driver, I couldn't help but get excited for something that was promised to be a game changer for the brand. Seeing the feedback from tour players, golf forum communities, and ultimately the people that I trust most, Srixon ambassadors from Nextgengolf, I was sold on the idea that the new Z785 driver is the real deal.

The US Open is just a few days away and what an exciting time golf is in right now. We’ve all heard about the young guys like Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler and crew who can win any particular week. You then have guys like Dustin Johnson, Justin Rose and Jason Day who have all won this year who could easily hoist the trophy come Sunday. With Tiger rolling into the Hamptons with his 20 million dollar yacht and reminding everyone that he was king (and still is?) you just never know who may win the US Open this year at Shinnecock. There are a few things that no one wants to talk about however, but I certainly will.

Myrtle Beach is one of the best spots for an all inclusive destination golf trip. It's not only great for golf, but an amazing spot to dine, shop, and stay. Myrtle Beach also has one of the best stretches of sand on the east coast!

If you’re like me and center your trips around your golf rounds, Myrtle Beach offers amazing courses at unbeatable prices. The next time you are planning your trip to the Myrtle Beach area, make sure to add these courses to your llist.

Being a fan of golf and the PGA Tour, this time of year is exciting as any because of the four majors to come and big names scattering leaderboards on weekends. If you’re like me, you are always rooting for your favorite players  to make moves on Saturday or close out on Sunday. Srixon tour pros have been filling those leaderboards and hoisting trophies this PGA Tour season. Besides being great to watch on TV, here are some tour pros that go the extra mile to impact millennial golfers.

As a Srixon ambassador, I am always on the lookout to improve my journey to better with Srixon. I’ve been playing the ZStar XV ball since 2014 and when I had the opportunity to put a set of 765 irons in the bag last year, it helped my game tremendously. This year however, I was able to put the Z U65 Utility into my bag which I believe will be the next breakthrough in my game.
