As golf fans, we will never get a chance to see many of the best golfers the world has ever seen. We have missed out on tremendous talents, and we will continue to miss out, due to the nature of professional golf. No one entity is to blame for this reality, but it’s a reality nonetheless. There are simply too many hurdles for aspiring professionals to overcome in order to simply get a “shot” at the big time, and because success largely depends on your personal circumstances,

For the past two years we've been involved in publishing a weekly podcast, the #WednesdayMatchPlay with host Ricky Potts. It's been an awesome journey, one which has allowed me to learn a ton about podcasts in general, the process for creating them, the various platforms as well as expanding my library of other golf related podcasts. Working alongside Ricky on the production of our podcast has allowed me to meet a ton of great people and to help share their story with our aud

It's easy to be captivated by aerial photos and videos making the benefits of an aerial film project seem obvious; but there might be more than meets the eye. Taking the time to understand the potential uses of aerial photos and videos, as well as the longevity of their use, can help ensure you make the most of your investment and that you capture everything you need. Our internal team at Eat Sleep Golf has filmed and produced nearly 500 promotional and hole-by-hole videos f

I've been familiar with the Troon brand for a long time, but it wasn't until recently that I started paying closer attention to their work. I have to give the credit to Ricky Potts for opening my eyes to the Troon organization and peaking my interest to learn more about their facilities and their various golf initiatives. I quickly became enthralled with the golf juggernaut known as Troon, which lead to the inception of this article. With over 250 golf courses around the worl

Like any other physical or sporting activity, sometimes, as much as we feel we’re constantly improving day in and day out, we hit that proverbial ceiling, a level so stubborn, we get the idea we’re going to be stuck there for quite a while. There will come a time when we reach a certain level. Say, we become mid-handicappers. Here, we end up gathering enough confidence to play some of the best local golf courses or country clubs. Some of us may even begin to slack off a lit

“These guys are good.” It is the slogan we associate with the PGA Tour, and one that very accurately summarizes why we love to follow the weekly action. Tracking a group of highly skilled athletes battle to remain atop a leaderboard, on Sunday afternoon, provides viewers with a suspenseful experience which never fails to remind us that the above slogan is tremendously appropriate. With that said, there is only one winner every week, so while these players are good, what exact

With all the latest advancements in golf technologies, statistics and information is instantly at our fingertips. But what do we do with this information? How do you effectively utilize it to improve our game? I've always found it intriguing that golfers are so quick to purchase a new putter, or driver or golf balls, but when it comes to investing in a stat tracking platform, there seems to be more reluctancey. Don't get me wrong, new clubs and equipment are great, but in o

The past 20 years have seen technology change the way we play the game of golf. It began with titanium drivers and graphite shafts, and has been constantly evolving ever since. Currently club technology has begun to level off, but there are so many other wonderful technological tools that can be used to improve one’s golf experience - both on, and away, from the course. Unfortunately, most golfers are simply not taking advantage of them. Described below are ten leading tools

Bubba Watson a fascinating athlete - one of the most unconventional players the PGA tour has seen in a very long time. He is self-taught and has developed a swing that seems to defy some of the basic principles that are key to a good golf game, moving his feet around as he swings through the ball and rarely hitting the ball straight off the tee. He describes his game - which others have dubbed "Bubba Golf", as "having fun and hitting shots that you probably shouldn't (try to)
