Golf is the gadget lover's sport. There are more golf gizmos than anyone can count: tees, and markers, stroke counters, range finders, ball retrievers, GPS systems, hat clips, sports seats, divot tools, groove cleaners, weight tape. You can't even begin to count them all.
Isaac Scoring System
Individual Statistics and Analysis Center (Isaac) is a new system for keeping score on a golf course. Golfers fill in a bubble card -- like on a standardized test -- with information such as greens in regulation and putts and then turn it in at the end of the round. A scanner in the clubhouse reads the card and returns a wealth of statistics about your game. The company claims that it will help improve your game by helping you with goal setting.
Pedometer / Score Keeper
I bought one of these pedometer/score keepers from Sharper Image. The plastic belt clip broke off in the first week. Dont' bother.
Caddy Mate
I’m in favor of anything that will speed up a round of golf. This looks like something that fits that bill. Have you ever watched a power cart player when he gets close to the green. He gets out of his cart, gets a club and then walks to his ball on the fringe. Then he decides that he’s got the wrong club and walks back to the cart. Then, after chipping, he walks back, puts the club away and gets his putter. Lots of time wasted.
The Caddy Mate is a detachable bag that carries all the player needs for the short game. Just detach the bag and head for the green. The thing’s even got spikes on the bottom so it stands up easily.
EZ Putter
EZ Putter has an attached divot tool on one end, and a suction cup for getting the ball out of the cup on the other.
Always Remember Stroke Saver
File this one under "goofiest ideas of all time." No, as far as I know, its not an April Fools joke.
The Always Remember Stroke Saver is like one of those wristbands that NFL quarterbacks use to help them remember the plays. Only these have golf tips on them. I can't even begin to imagine who would find this useful.
