Best Websites for Golfers in 2021
I'm one of those "nuts" you hear about. I'm a golfer.
Seriously, though, golf is a great game. I'm glad I found it. It's a mix of so many things I enjoy.
- Playing sports
- Getting outside
- Strategy games
The best aspect of it is that golf is a game that you will never master. It's like poker. No matter how much work you put in, how good you get, or how much you know, there is always something you can do better.
The never ending room for improvement can't be beat. I challenge you to find something else like it.
Of course, if you play golf, you already know all this. You also know how frustrating the game can be as you work to get better. One day you might need to work on your swing path, while the next you need to work on your course management or strategy.
You can get a catch to help you with that. In fact, I recommend you do. But a lot of the work you put into the game will be on your own time, using whatever books, websites, and YouTube channels you can get your hands on.
That's how I'm approaching the game anyway. If you're anything like me, then you'll enjoy my golf bookmarks. These are the sites I keep coming back to whenever I want to learn something new to help me with my golf game.
These are the best golf websites in 2021.
- The Divot - This golf website focuses on helping beginners get started with the game of golf, reviews products to help you decide what to buy, and gives tips to help you get better at the game.
- Practical Golf - As the name suggestions, Jon takes a practical approach to the game of golf and suggests you do the same. The articles on his site cover course strategy, mindset, and golf products that will help you improve your game.
- Adam Young - What I like about Adam's approach to golf is he doesn't overcomplicate the game. He won't tell you to change your swing. He won't tell you to keep your head down. What he focuses on a lot is ball striking, practical drills, and busting a lot of myths that have been repeated over and over in the golf industry that is likely hurting your game more than helping it.
- Breaking Eighty - You got to visit Breaking Eighty if you're looking for where to play your next round of golf. Sean does regular golf course reviews while trying to complete his goal of playing the top 100 and top 100 public courses by the time he hits 35 years old.
- Rick Shiels Golf - What I like about Rick's YouTube channel is the variety of golf content he produces. One day he shares a few swing tips to help you cure your slice, while the next he does a video of him playing 9 holes and explaining how he's approach each one.
- Golf Sidekick - Matt does a great job with his YouTube channel. I like how he takes an honest, simple, and straightforward approach to the game. I also like how he explains his shots and what's happening as he plays.
- Matt Fryer Golf - I enjoy this Matt's YouTube channel, too. Most of the content I've watched so far revolves around swing advice. He does a good job of explaining his golf advice in such a way that I feel like I can go to the course and (try to) replicate it. You couldn't do that unless his advice was easy to understand.
- West Coast Golfer - This is another site of mine focused on golfing in British Columbia, Washington State, Oregon, and California. This is a good resource to check out if you golf in any of those states and want to find the best golf courses, instructors, club fitters, etc. You'll also find more general content to help you with your golf game.
