We do seem to feature quite a few pool gadgets and golf gizmos and this next product combines the two, Pro-Chip Island Golf.

To play the game simply float the island in your pool and then try to chip the balls onto the green. As each ball has a velcro cross they should stick to the float rather than bouncing off into the water. It comes complete with 12 balls which should minimize the time you need to go paddling on ball retrieval duties (or the bumber of times you push the kids in the pool and tell them to “Go fetch”).

The full kit (minus golf club) costs $49.95 from Solutions.

With the advances in games machines like the PS3, Xbox and Wii, games have taken on a different meaning, they are more complex, I suppose the Wii could be considered slightly retro, but games in general like GTA and other similar titles have moved on, the graphics are second to none and the game play itself it far removed from those that we saw and heard, when the gaming industry was in its infancy, remember the Sega system!
