Okay, so I came across this thing called the “Golf Digest 2018 Hot List” the other day. Sounds fancy, right? Well, I thought it was all about golf clubs, and boy, was I kinda right. It’s like a yearly review of the best golf equipment – the “hot” stuff, get it? I started digging into this because I’ve been meaning to upgrade my clubs, and frankly, I didn’t know where to start. So I found out this “Hot List” thing drops around January, which is apparently the start of the golf season. News to me, I usually just play whenever it’s not snowing.
First thing I did was check out the drivers section, because who doesn’t want to hit the ball farther? This list breaks it down into what you might be looking for – adjustability, simplicity, you name it. I spent a good chunk of time just reading through all the options, it was almost overwhelming. I marked a few that seemed like they’d fit my, let’s say, inconsistent style.
Then I moved onto irons. Turns out there are different categories: “game-improvement,” “players,” and even “super game-improvement.” I had a chuckle at the “super game-improvement” – sounds like my kind of club. The list even says it’s the kind of club that should be “outlawed,” which is pretty funny. I spent hours diving into this, it’s a gold mine! And don’t get me started on the “players irons” section. It’s all about how they’re using fancy materials and tech to make these clubs look classic but perform like something out of the future.
- Drivers: Looked for adjustability and simplicity.
- Irons: Explored game-improvement, players, and super game-improvement categories.
Honestly, I was pretty absorbed by all of this. I’ve been jotting down notes, comparing stats, and even watching some videos online about these clubs. It’s a lot to take in, but I feel like I’m finally getting a handle on what I should be looking for. I’m planning to hit up a golf store soon and maybe, just maybe, I’ll finally get myself some new clubs. This whole “Hot List” thing really opened my eyes to the world of golf gear. It’s way more complicated than I thought, but also pretty cool. I’m actually excited to get out on the course and try out some of this stuff. My scores might not improve, but hey, at least I’ll look like I know what I’m doing, right?
It’s like a bible for golf gear!
This whole journey of looking into the hot list was wild! I never thought I will learn this much about golf clubs! I did spend quite a few time, but it’s all worth it. It’s time to get a new club!
