The sun never truly sets on the golf world; there is always something new and exciting to discover. We couldn't be more grateful to get to explore it with you.

With 2024 nearly in the books, we are proud of what we accomplished this year.

We reached millions of golfers with news, opinion and analysis of all things golf lifestyle, from new gear to new golf courses and commentary on some of the game's hot-button issues.

We're excited to hit the ground running again in 2025, and we are grateful to bring you with us as we discover, debate and wander the world of golf with the goal of helping you deepen your love of this great game.

As always, we welcome your feedback. If there is something you think we should cover, let us know. Comment on this or any of our articles (we read them all). Your guidance helps refine our focus on the topics that golfers are most interested in.

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 main email newsletter also received some renovations this year. It's called The Tavern, and if you are not already receiving it each Tuesday and Friday, you can click here to sign up for it.
