Which is better: Blade or Mallet Putters

-
When it comes to choosing the right putter, golfers are faced with a seemingly endless array of options. But most putters fall into three main categories: blades, mallets, and high-MOI designs. Each has its strengths and weaknesses, sparking endless debate on which style reigns supreme. Blade Putters For the purist, blade putters are the ultimate choice. Sleek, simple, and steeped in tradition, they offer unmatched feedback and control. Players who pride themselves on precision love blades for their ability to reward a perfect stroke—but at a cost. They can be unforgiving, and mishits often stray far off target. Mallet Putters Mallet putters are the choice for golfers seeking stability. With a larger head and more weight distribution, they’re perfect for players who need help with alignment and maintaining a smooth stroke. Their forgiving nature makes them ideal for weekend warriors. However, purists often dismiss mallets as lacking the finesse and elegance of a blade. High-MOI Putters High-MOI (Moment of Inertia) putters are the new kids on the block, offering advanced technology to minimize twisting on off-center hits. These putters are engineered to correct mistakes, making them appealing for high-handicap golfers. Critics, however, argue that they take too much skill out of the equation, turning putting into more of a science than an art. The Verdict? Choosing the right putter ultimately comes down to personal preference and playing style. Blades reward skill, mallets boost confidence, and high-MOI designs offer forgiveness. So, what’s your style? Are you a traditionalist, a stability seeker, or a tech enthusiast? In the end, the best putter is the one that helps you sink the most putts—because let’s face it, no one debates style after draining a 30-footer.

D.A. Weibring, More than Just a Player

-
 D.A. Weibring is a name that stands tall in golf, not just for his successes on the PGA Tour, but also for his impact off the course. While Weibring won five PGA Tour titles, his contributions as a golf course architect have left an enduring legacy, most notably with the design of TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois. Weibring’s connection to the John Deere Classic and the Midwest runs deep. Born and raised in Quincy, Illinois, he brought his local knowledge and passion for the region to the design of TPC Deere Run. In the late 1990s, when the PGA Tour needed a new home for the John Deere Classic, Weibring was a natural fit to lead the project. His vision was to create a challenging yet accessible course that would honor the landscape of the Midwest, while still being enjoyable for both pros and amateurs. Today, TPC Deere Run is a renowned stop on the PGA Tour and a course synonymous with Weibring’s name. Beyond his course design, Weibring’s business acumen has been just as impr...

Fewer Bogeys: The Path to Lower Scores

-
 For many golfers, achieving lower scores is about more than hitting longer drives or making spectacular shots—it's about avoiding bogeys and big numbers that add up quickly. Minimizing mistakes is often the simplest way to play better and enjoy each round more. Here’s how you can approach your game with intention and consistency to make fewer bogeys and keep your scorecard clean. Play Smart, Not Bold One of the quickest ways to lower your score is by playing smarter. Avoid risky shots that could lead to trouble; instead, aim for high-percentage targets. On approach shots, prioritize hitting the middle of the green rather than attacking the pin. This gives you a chance at par without the added risk. Stay Calm Under Pressure Bogeys and big numbers often result from trying to "save" a hole after an errant shot. Instead, take a step back and assess your options. If you’re in the rough or near a hazard, play conservatively to get back in play rather than attempting a hero sho...
