For winter warriors: adidas Climaheat BOA golf boots
Adidas has entered the “golf boot” space with its new Climaheat BOA golf boots, which are made to keep your feet comfortable, stable and warm on the course in poor weather conditions.
Winter warriors can learn more about the Climaheat BOA boots ($180) below, or on adidasGolf.com.
Warm and waterproof: The Climaheat BOA boots have a multi-layered lining, which adidas calls “climaheat,” in the collar area of the shoe to provide warmth for your foot. The boots also have “climaproof” material in the microfiber upper, shielding your foot from water and cold temperatures. 
Adjustable: The Climaheat BOAs have a closure system on the tongue that utilizes a “push and pull” structure, making the shoes micro-adjustable. The technology keeps the shoes from loosening during the round, which is great… especially when you’re trekking through soggy conditions.
Comfortable: A “fitfoam” sockliner adds cushion and comfort, and the shoes are designed with a wider forefoot to give your foot added room, which could be good when wearing multiple socks on those super cold days.
Stable: The 9-cleat thintech outsole has “Swing Plane Traction” and “CenTraXion” for extra grip on the turf and low-profile “Stealth” cleats allow greater contact with the ground, leading to more traction. The TPU (thermoplastic urethane) saddle has Tour360 technology for foot stability throughout the swing.

Putters that never made it: Check out some of the best tour builds that didn’t make the cut
Arguably, the best perk of being a professional golfer on the PGA Tour is the ability to request or even just be handed pretty much any club you could think of. It happens more often than you think, usually with putters around the practice green from one event to the next. Come Wednesday, the Tour bags lining the edge of the putting surface become resting places for fallen flatsticks that never made the cut.
So let’s take a look at some of the best we’ve seen out on Tour this year that never made it to the competition. (You may notice none of Hideki Matsuyama’s custom Scotty Cameron putters made this list. There are too many.)
Let’s start with this custom Damascus Milled Odyssey Rossie made for Ryo Hisatsune. Featuring a single line and the short-slant hossel, we’ve seen plenty of Number 7 and jailbird heads featuring the Damascus Milled insert, but this is the first and only one we’ve spotted in a Rossie. Hisatsune primarily putts with an Odyssey Black Series iX #9, but we have seen him recently with a TaylorMade TP Collection SOTO, so there could be potential that the Damascus Milled Rossie could end up in the bag.

Everyone wants to be Cameron Young right now. We’ve had Justin Thomas and Tom Hoge both game the Scotty Cameron 9.5R prototype. Well, for the PGA Championship, Brooks Koepka nearly joined that list after requesting the same style of putter, with the full-length alignment line. But the Scotty Cameron reps took the request a step further and made one specially for Koepka with a Teryllium insert, similar to one in his previous Newport 2 gamers. The reason why this one didn’t go into play, though? Because it was too heavy.

Harry Hall was the third-best putter on Tour last year, so when Bettinardi made him a custom proto, you know it was going to be good. The custom BB28 blade features VDF face milling, a custom-welded single-bend shaft, and the owner’s initials – HH – on the sole of the putter. Hall, who usually games an Odyssey O-Works #7 W, has dabbled with a TaylorMade Spider Tour X already this year. Maybe there’s a chance this Bettinardi might make his bag.

Honestly, this one doesn’t need a description. It’s Kieth Mitchell’s custom Scotty Cameron Napa. One Scotty Cameron face stamp, two Scotty Dogs, two Scotty Cameron 7-Point Crowns and one Circle T. That is all. Oh, except for the Cashmere Cameron headcover.

Finally, and just for fun, how about we pour one out for this TaylorMade Spider Tour X made for Scottie Scheffler in its new torched finish. It’s unlikely we’ll see a putter change anytime soon from the best golfer in the world. In fact, he hit just two putts with it on the Harbour Town practice before going back to his trusty gamer.

Which of Tiger’s major winning irons are your favorite? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing their favorite major winning irons used by Tiger Woods. WRXer ‘golferdude54’ kicks off the thread saying:
“Mizuno MP 14/29. Titleist 681T. Nike Forged Blades. TaylorMade P7TW.
Among these irons that helped Tiger win 15 majors, which is your favorite in terms of looks?”
And our members have been naming their favorites and why in response.
Here are a couple of posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- SwingBlade: “I prefer the early blades he played and the more recent TM TW’s especially because after Tiger had his major behavioral setbacks, part of Nikes support payback was making Tiger play a Nike putter and cease using his beloved uniquely customized Scotty putter.”
- ProjectX: “This (Nike Forged Blades) and there’s not even a close second.”

Enough distractions in the winter – these take one of those distractions away.

If I step in a mud puddle on the golf course and mud and water come over the transom of my regular, waterproof, golf shoes then I don’t need to be on the course that day. Now, if there’s a solution to good drives plugging and backing up two feet I’m all in for that.

What do you mean ‘entered the golf boot’ space? I have even using Adidas winter boots for 8 years now!
In the muddy winter here the UK they are a must.

I think these are a good idea. Back when I played in sub-freezing temps I would wear hiking boots. These look a lot better for swinging a golf club.
