By GBB Staff Introduction As I was preparing to write this review of the Qwik-Fold 360, I became curious about the history of golf push carts and did some research to find out when they were first used. It may interest you to learn that these handy golf accessories, that are now ubiquitous at golf courses around the world, were originally invented over 75 years ago! Who knew. A gentleman by the name of Bruce Williamson from Portland, Oregon is credited as the inventor. His original golf pull cart was made from two lawn mower wheels with hard rubber tires...

By GBB Staff Introduction I've always preferred to walk the course during my rounds. I like the idea of getting as much exercise as possible while playing, and I've found that a stroll of about 5-6 miles with a push cart is one of the best way to maximize my health benefits; in fact, in a comprehensive 9-hole study by Dr. Neil Wolkodoff of the Colorado Center of Health and Sports Science, it was shown (among many other things) that golfers who used a push cart burned 718 calories during their round.

But I’d heard claims like that about drivers before so, initially, I wrote it off as just some more marketing hype. But the buzz about this driver seemed to be growing, with lots of testimonials from golfers who’ve actually used the club.

By GBB Staff Introduction The characters may change, but The Masters never fails to deliver great drama. Professional golfers get excited about all major championships, but there is something magical about playing between the pines and flowering azaleas at Augusta National. It brings out the best (and sometimes the worst) from the top players in the world. We get to watch nerves of steel become frayed on the back nine on Sunday. From the practice rounds to the Champions Dinner to the “jacket ceremony” in Butler Cabin, The Masters is a week-long celebration of golf. We have crowned a new,...
