The Clicgear Three Wheeled Golf Cart

April 9, 2012 by John Strawn

The Clicgear Cart is, as its website says, “the original compact three-wheel  golf pushcart.”   The Clicgear Cart won the 2007 Best New Product Award at the PGA Merchandise Show, providing a terrific promotional boost.  The cart has great word of mouth, too.  Two of my regular playing partners swear by it, in part because […]

February 13, 2012 by John Strawn

Three years ago, the prospect of Tiger Woods melting down during a final round when he was in the hunt for a title would have been unthinkable.  He was the dominator, peerless in the lead. Now, in the aftermath of his well-chronicled fall from grace, Woods can’t seem to hold himself together in the final […]

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly at the PGA Show

February 11, 2012 by John Strawn

The PGA Show in Orlando last month illuminated what’s good as well as what’s troublesome in the golf industry.   The big players in equipment and clothing and shoes—Callaway, Ping, Titleist, Nike, FootJoy and so on—occupied prominent spots on the convention floor, sort of like anchor tenants at a mall.   There’s no question that the technological […]
