Could PGA NFTs Become a Reality?
Is golf ready for the “next big thing”?
I read an interesting article the other day about Bryson DeChambeau and his recent NFT experiment. While I appreciate his willingness to try something new, it definitely looked like a less than ideal introduction to golf-related NFTs. Instead of blabbing on about what NFTs are, just go read this article by someone much smarter than […] More

Modern day Zapruder film costs Ancer two strokes
I’m all for the rules of golf but this is just stupid. In case you missed it, Abraham Ancer was assessed a two-stroke penalty after his club touched the sand at Augusta yesterday. The overall purpose of the rule makes complete sense… you don’t want someone manipulating the sand to improve their lie. The penalty […] More

Golden Tee Mobile – Shots of the Week – March 27, 2021
Although I’ve strayed a bit this week as I explore WGT (World Golf Tour), I managed to get in a few rounds of Golden Tee Mobile as well. I’ll often watch these Golden Tee Mobile Shots of the Week videos and think, “ya.. if the moon and stars aligned, I could probably hit that shot”. […] More

Golden Tee Meets the PGA Tour
Coming to a bar or pub near you!
Golden Tee has become a real favourite in our office. Between our vintage 2005 machine and the mobile app, it’s safe to say that we’ve played our fair share. The one knock on it (and it’s not really a knock) is that the courses and players aren’t based on real life. Until now. Incredible Technologies […] More
