[Hypegolf] November 30, 2023 Weekly Digest 🥃 Golf Ages Like Whiskey Over at the Portmarnock Resort TLDR: For the second edition of our new travel series, we profiled Jameson Golf Links in Portmarnock, Ireland, where we were greated with world class golf, friendly conversation and naturally, Irish whiskey, Why It Matters: Getting the most out of your vacation is getting harder and harder these days. Even when we're "off" it's hard to not be switched on. That's what makes the accessibility of Portmarnock Resort so special.

Why It Matters: Some may argue that Nike only re-booted the TW '13 to distract from the Tiger and FootJoy narrative, which is funny to consider just as it appears that Tiger is about to make another swtich. But there’s no denying the impact that the shoes had on the current landscape of golf footwear.

Why It Matters: Bifurcation has become something of a buzzword in golf, which in this case means having different sets of rules for amateurs and professionals. As modern players have continued to make gains in distance, there's a growing movement to introduce limitations to technology, similar to how baseball uses a wooden bat rather than metal. The difference is that golf is designed to be played by both pros and amateurs, and the idea of having different rules will be a hard sell.

For this post we revisited his advice on how to master the details. Why It Matters: To someone unfamiliar with the golf scene, Keith Mitchell's look may not be all that inspiring, but it's a breath of fresh air placed next to a crowd of players clad in ill-fitting pants with headache inducing patterns. Keith isn't trying to reinvent the wheel, but that doesn't mean there isn't a lot of thought into what he wears.
