Show up and show out this season on the course with these chic accessories and the latest tech gadgets
With the heartening promise of warmer weather and the blooming azaleas of Augusta National ready to greet Masters spectators, golfers nationwide can officially celebrate the opening of the 2026 golf season. The age-old sport, which hearkens back to 15th-century Scotland, was originally brought to the U.S. by Dutch and Scottish immigrants in the 1700s. It quickly grew in popularity. By 1900, there were almost 1,000 golf clubs. Today, it is still a favorite sport of many Americans, so it only makes sense that the products being made to support it are getting better and better in terms of technology and design. Whether you want to install a full simulator in your home to practice, or look stylish while out on the course, here are some ideas to increase your level of play.
