Back
It feels like this year flew by in the blink of an eye.
That seems to be the sentiment every year. Since launching in 2019, GolfPass has continued to come of age in every way - through hundreds of articles, instructional videos, shows and - new this year - member-exclusive events. If you didn't attend a GolfPass Academy Tour day, you missed out. Don't worry, these free clinics, which include complimentary golf for members, will be back in 2026, potentially coming to a golf course near you. If you haven't joined GolfPass, this is one of just many reasons to become a part of our growing community of golfers. It's shaping up to be a big year with Big Break returning to Golf Channel and GolfPass. Click here to join.
Every December, we like to take stock of our best content. That includes ranking the most popular stories we created this year. These are the 10 articles golfers read and shared the most. We love to see such a mix of topics.
As always, we welcome your feedback. If there is something you think we should cover, let us know. Comment on this article, or any of them (we read them all). Your guidance helps refine our focus on the topics that resonate the most with golfers.
We also hope you'll follow and reach out to us on social media, where we are active on Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram and TikTok. We are excited to share and interact with golfers there, too.
Our email newsletter, The Tavern, is the best way to keep up with our writing as it's sent to your inbox every Tuesday and Friday. You can click here to sign up for it.

Golf balls for geezers
Ok, maybe I'm a little rude with that headline. If anything, I'm making fun of myself. I have one of the slowest swing speeds of any golfer younger than 55. If you're like me, you're searching for any small advantage to add a little more distance. What golf ball you use can help.

New drivers coming in 2026
Every golfer loves a little bit of gossip. This story detailing the slow leak of information every fall regarding next year's new equipment trends gets everybody's juices flowing. Even though we know that new driver won't give us the 10 extra yards we're promised, that doesn't mean we don't want it. We do!

Aloha (goodbye) to Hawaii's best PGA Tour event
When it was announced that The Sentry wasn't going to be held at Kapalua's scenic Plantation Course in January due to water and conditioning issues, we attempted to speculate which course might step in to host. To everyone's disappointment, the PGA Tour pulled the plug on the whole thing. I still stand by our suggestions. Most of them would have been great alternatives.

Non-golfers in the cart
I knew this article was controversy gold when I started reporting on the problem. Golfers want the ability to bring non-playing partners to ride along in the cart for free, while course operators and owners want to maximize profits as best they can. The clash of perspectives probably happens every day at public courses around the country. Proper communication might be the only way to find some sort of compromise.

Worst tournament collapses
We all watch professional golfers to see the spectacular shots they hit, but secretly, every fan also loves a train wreck. It makes these supremely talented players look more human. We can all relate.
