At the PGA Merchandise Show I learned TecTecTec! has done it again.  First, they launched a very cool palm-sized high-quality speaker with a super magnet that will clip on your cart or on your belt called the TEAM8 (get it? “Teammate”?)

Happy New Year! I can’t believe it’s now been two years since thewomangolfer blog was launched!  When I started it back in 2020, I didn’t know whether my blog would survive a year.  All of us were unaware of the looming global pandemic and resulting golf boom that would play a huge part in maintaining our […]
