PXG Stars and Stripes golf collection — PXG

As someone particularly loyal to the red, white, and blue, I’m happy to announce that Parsons Xtreme Golf (PXG), the American brand founded by Marine Corps Vietnam veteran Bob Parsons, launched its 2025 Stars & Stripes Capsule Collection this month. This special edition lineup of gear honors American golf culture, patriotism, and performance out on the green.

“The Stars & Stripes Capsule isn’t just about gearing up for the course – it’s about standing for something,” said Parsons. “It’s a salute to our country, our military, and to every golfer who plays with heart, grit, and pride.”

Parsons backs it up with high-quality additions. This summer, the Stars & Stripes Capsule Collection will include items like Patriotic Headcovers, and Premium Golf Gloves, which are made with award-winning quality and patriotic detailing.

In addition to an “Americana Home Course” hoodie, you’ll also see a collection of bold caps and on-course accessories like microfiber golf towels and milled ball markers in red, white, and blue. They have also designed a few special-edition bags, including a standard golf bag and a crossbody bag.

This collection is available now at PXG and may also be available at select retail stores near you. This collection is the perfect gift for the patriotic, golf-loving person in your life, but it’s also a statement that’s perfect for our upcoming holidays, such as the Fourth of July, and beyond. That said, if the red, white, and blue isn’t your thing, PXG also has a huge variety of other accessories to suit your needs.

Biscuit Basin is closed — here’s what to do in Yellowstone instead

Summer fun at Yellowstone is going to look different this year

Visiting Yellowstone National Park may look a bit different this year with the continued closure of Biscuit Basin, but it's still going to be worth it. There are so many other geysers, canyons, and wildlife to see that it would be a huge mistake to miss out on it this summer just because the path to Old Faithful is still under construction. Here's everything you need to know when entering Yellowstone this summer, and how to make the most of it according to the National Park Service.
Making the most of Yellowstone this Summer

While Biscuit Basin faces reconstruction efforts after the hydraulic explosion that happened last year, you'll still be able to enjoy wildlife hotspots like the Lamar Valley, which is nicknamed "America's Serengeti" for all of the animals you can see. Yellowstone Lake will also be open for boating or fishing excursions. The Yellowstone Lake hotel and the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel is open this summer if you don't want to camp, and a lot of the trails around Mammoth Hot Springs will be open too. You can also see Norris Geyser Basin, which is park's hottest and oldest.
No need to worry about timed entry
One of the best parts about Yellowstone National Park is that they don't require timed entry reservations like Yosemite National Park or Glacier National Park. Summer is still pretty busy, so be prepared for crowds, but the park is 2.2 million acres in total, so there's a fair amount of space to spread out. Still, you will need a park entrance pass to get through the gate.
Make your reservations in advance
Campgrounds do require reservations in advance, so make sure that you book dates before you go. If you plan to do any fishing or boating in the area, make sure that you also snag yourself a fishing or boating permit. You will also need to submit your boat for an inspection.
Expect terrible cell service
Personally, I don't know why you'd want to be on your phone with Yellowstone out your window, but keep in mind that cell service is limited here. I recommend downloading maps and the NPS app beforehand, as well as any road closure information. These closures can be sudden due to the unpredictability of Yellowstone's weather, so prepare in advance by packing a warm jacket, rain gear, and layers when you go.
Be responsible, especially around wildlife
While driving, be sure to observe posted speed limits and use the pullouts to watch wildlife, making sure that all four of your tires are fully to the right of the white line. This will allow other cars to pass easily. Seeing wildlife up close is amazing, but remember to stay a minimum of 25 yards away from all wildlife, and 100 yards away from bears, wolves, and cougars. Elks are also dangerous, so don't even think about holding your baby near one.

How to grip a golf club

Learning how to grip a golf club isn't as hard as you might think, especially if you don't have any bad habits. If you're just starting out, I recommend using a glove like the one from Me and My Golf. This glove has a blue line across the fingers so you know exactly which angle to hold your club at. These tips from Me and My Golf are for right-handed players. If you're a lefty, just reverse everything.

What type of golf ball should you use? The simple breakdown every new golfer needs

Here are the three major kinds of golf balls and which one is right for you

When you're just getting started with golf, you may not realize that there are several different kinds of golf balls, each tailored for a specific skill level, swing speed, or other priorities. The choices can be overwhelming, but they boil down to three kinds: two piece, three piece, and four piece. So now you might be wondering, what golf ball should I use? In this guide, we're going to discuss the three major kinds of golf balls and how to choose the best one for you.

When choosing a golf ball, you'll first need to assess your skill level, swing speed, priorities for distance control, materials, and budget. These five factors aren't the only things to consider, but they will get you to a great starting point. The key is to understand the construction and performance characteristics of each golf ball. In a nutshell, two-piece, also known as low-compression balls, prioritize distance and are great for beginners. Three-piece golf balls have better control for more intermediate players, while still giving you great distance. And lastly, the four-piece golf balls, or high-compression balls, are perfect for advanced players for their precision. Here's the breakdown:
