## Resource

2026 golf drivers are starting to surface, and we break down the driver releases and early teases we’ve heard so far — what’s actually new, what feels incremental, and what golfers should realistically care about heading into the season. We also dive into the six new PGA of America rule changes , explaining what changed, why it matters, and how these updates impact everyday golfers, not just tour players. To close things out, we get personal and talk through our 2026 golf goals — what we’re working on, where we’re being honest about our games, and how we’re approaching improvement this year. If you’re into golf equipment, rule updates, and real conversations about getting better , this episode covers it all. ⏱ Chapters 0:00 – 2026 Golf Driver Releases & Early Teases 32:11 – PGA of America: 6 New Rule Changes 47:12 – Our 2026 Golf Goals
