THERE ARE MANY STORIES IN GOLF THAT GET PASSED DOWN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION.

‘Trees are 90 per cent air’, ‘grooves are all about imparting spin’, ‘ball temperatures matter’ – these are the types of tales we all hear about.

But are they true in any way, shape or form?

We set about finding out which ones do in fact hold water, and which ones are nothing more than folklore.

Of course, GolfBarons ensures these discoveries are entertaining. Potentially.

‘THe Challenge’ for challenge

Golf is a DIFFICULT at the best of times. We make it even harder.

“We enjoy having GolfBarons as part of the Challenge family and value their efforts to raise awareness for Challenge and our essential work. Their contribution makes a significant difference to the lives of children and families living with cancer.”

Dave Rogers, CEO Challenge – supporting kids with cancer

One of the more popular GolfBarons segments are our ‘challenges’ where we find something outrageous (and often dangerous) and find a way to relate it back to a golf teaching moment. Potentially.

More importantly, our ‘Challenge for Challenge’ is a dedicated attempt at highlighting a not-for-profit charity that helps kids battling cancer and their families.

These challenges are fun, irreverent and oftentimes downright ludicrous.
