Hi Golfer,

We weren’t consulted and chances are you weren’t either, but NBC has chosen Brandel Chamblee as Lead Analyst for the U.S. Open. Brandel is always prepared, sometimes infuriating, and frequently polarizing.

We’d love to know how you feel about the choice (see below).

Today we’ve got a couple of content pieces to help you get the most out of your practice time (and setup) and a rundown of the best of what we’ve tested so far.

And, oh yeah, be on the lookout for the new episode of No Putts Given that will be published later today. We discuss the best drivers for mid swing speeds, the Best Mallets of 2024, and Phil’s latest stupid tweet.

NBC Tabs Chamblee As Lead U.S. Open Analyst

A Polarizing Choice?

Brandel Chamblee will be on the call for next month’s U.S. Open at Pinehurst.

Chamblee, one of the most polarizing voices in the game, will join a four-man booth for NBC, Josh Carpenter of Sports Business Journal reports. He will be joined by play-by-play man Dan Hicks, Brad Faxon and Mike Tirico.

I’m not going to influence you by telling you what I think, but I’m positive opinions will be both strong and mixed.

Fairway Series Golf Mat

Get the Most Out of the Space You Have

Limited by height (and perhaps imagination), I’m on a perpetual quest to get the most out of the little corner of my world (technically, it’s my basement) where my simulator is tucked.

In this review, I take a look at the Fairways Series Golf Mat from the Indoor Golf Shop to find out if smaller could be better and whether a firmer mat might actually be easier on the joints.

🤯 What I learned is surprising.

Spend Your Time (and Money) Wisely

Everyone's time is valuable. We cherish our time on the golf course and many of us just wish we had more time in the day to play or practice.

Whether it is work, family or whatever else may be going on in life, finding the time to practice can be a challenge. What’s worse is wasting that precious time on skills or drills that won’t help your game.
