I joined the gang at Gear Patrol because I believe that as men we often settle for less than the very best lifestyle we can attain. It’s been ingrained into our psyches to forgo certain products, services or lifestyles because they don’t fall within some antiquated male paradigm. Bunk. It’s time as men to stand up and redefine what’s rightfully ours. Much of what I have learned to this end has come through advice from guys who had the experiences and knowledge I was seeking. My only regret was not learning it sooner. Now I feel it’s my obligation to pass along what I know. I’m not saying I have all the answers but I’m happy to share what I’ve learned so far. On a more personal level, I live an active lifestyle and focus on my health and wellness as a means to sustain the frenetic pace. I also suffer from a case of golf-itis and spend a lot of my free time perusing that passion… ok, obsession. I aim to incorporate relevant fitness and golf content into Gear Patrol’s expanding coverage of all things male. Like the rest of the crew I can’t stand over-hyped, under-performing products. None of that crap will be perpetuated here.

I poured my first putt in from ten feet. Fluke? Perhaps. That is, until I buried the next one from two feet further out. So it would be a bit of an understatement to …
I often wonder if the products we apply to our skin do more harm than the conditions they’re designed to protect us from. Ranging from sunscreens to bug sprays, muscle rubs to hand sanitizers, the …
There’s little secret of my love for range finders. Gear Patrol has tested several. I stand firm on my conviction that range finders are as essential to your golf game as your clubs. Each year ushers …
Relationships are not easy, in fact, if you don’t work at them constantly, they breakdown. The longer you’re in a committed relationship the easier it is to take it for granted. It’s sad, …
The Gear Patrol crew has been burning the candle at both ends lately (read: always) and, suffice it to say, a little R&R was desperately warranted. So, the Editors packed up Eric’s Rover and …
If you watched any part of the final round of the recent U.S. Open, then you certainly witnessed how pressure and stress can derail a golf swing. This generally manifests itself in two forms: faster …
