Nearing a deal?

Maybe we’ll get a meaningful update on a Tour-PIF deal in the next three months.

“Definitely before the year’s end,” is the phrase Rory McIlroy used. “Maybe it is going too slow for the people who follow golf but I think, in the business world, deals of this size take time. You know, you are talking about billions of dollars changing hands, different jurisdictions in the Middle East, U.S. and Europe.

This Rangefinder Does Something I’ve Never Seen

But it’s hard to recommend.

I’ve tested more than 25 rangefinders and the Canon Powershot has one trick no other can match: it can capture photo and video. Fitting, coming from a camera company. I’ve yet to see another rangefinder that offers this functionality.

Do Looks Affect Performance?

Does the way you perceive a putter’s looks impact its performance?

The majority of you believe it does. A putter has to look good, to perform well. Am I right?

If a golfer doesn’t like the way his putter looks, he’s going to miss a comparatively higher number of putts. For many of you, that’s the undisputed gospel truth.

In a survey we posted on Twitter, 78% of respondents told us that a putter’s looks absolutely impact how the putter performs

When we look at the averages across all testers and all putters, the answer is a definitive no.

In those cases where performance and the perception of good looks appear to align, it’s almost certainly a coincidence, not causation. Those putters didn’t perform well because individual testers found them visually appealing; more accurately, some testers happened to like the looks of what were proven, by the larger group, to be very good putters. It’s also true that many testers gave low aesthetic marks to the mallets that proved to be among the very best performers.
