- Birddogs Shorts Review: Functional, Versatile, and Comfortable (Even For Golf) August 27
  I first saw Birddogs when they premiered on Shark Tank back in 2018. They asked for 250k for a whopping 1.5% stake in their fledgling company.

- Fairways Hit Is An Incomplete Statistic – Track Your Tee Shots This Way Instead August 5
  Traditional golf statistics do not give a complete picture of your performance on the course. They’re a good starting point, but stats like putts per round can be misleading.
