About Mulligan Memo
Honest golf gear advice for the rest of us — the weekend players, the slicers, the budget-minded, and anyone who'd rather spend money on green fees than on hype.
Mulligan Memo exists because shopping for golf gear is needlessly confusing. Every box promises more distance, more spin, more forgiveness — usually all at once. We cut through the marketing and tell you what actually matters for your game, your swing speed, and your budget.
Our PromiseWhat you can count on
- No fabricated data. We never invent test numbers, fake prices, or made-up specs. If we can't verify a claim, we don't state it as fact — we tell you it's our opinion or a manufacturer's claim.
- Honest about weaknesses. Every product has trade-offs. We name the compromises — the weak putter in a beginner set, the wind-y sound of a budget driver — instead of pretending everything is perfect.
- Reader-first, always. We recommend gear only when the evidence and the trade-offs justify the price. Our picks are never paid placements, and a brand can't buy a better review.
- Budget-aware. We believe most golfers overspend. We'll tell you when the cheap option is the smart one — and when it's worth paying up.
- Dated updates, no silent edits. Every guide shows when it was last updated, and when we correct something substantive, the correction is noted on that guide itself.
"We'd rather lose a sale than recommend gear we don't believe in."

How We Make MoneyAffiliate links, explained plainly
Mulligan Memo is reader-supported. Many of our buying guides contain affiliate links: if you click one and buy something, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. That's it. The commission never changes our recommendation; we pick the best gear for you first and find the link second. If you ever feel a recommendation was driven by a payout rather than your interests, we've failed at our one job.
