Derek Whitfield is a golf writer and equipment reviewer who believes the game should be fun before it is perfect. He covers golf tips and techniques, beginner guides, gear and equipment reviews, golf fitness, and course playing experiences — always with the relaxed, practical tone of someone who has shanked plenty of shots himself and learned to laugh about most of them. His work at Tappers Golf is built on one belief: golf does not need to be intimidating to be taken seriously. When he is not writing or testing the latest driver nobody asked him to review, Derek is losing golf balls in water hazards with impressive consistency, working on a swing that is always "almost there," and convincing friends that a good round is mostly about the company, not the score.
