Bracketron Smuggler insulated cooler is perfect for those summer days
If you are a golf widow, remember the mantra of repaying evil for good. Your man who knows even after two decades of a solid marriage, that you absolutely loathe the game of golf and still are unable to grasp the reason why they would attempt such a feat under the sweltering sun, and still continue to play with his buddies while leaving you all alone at home, will definitely be well pleased if you decide to take a different approach in loving him. Forget about taking revenge by maxing out his credit cards – you can always pamper him with the Bracketron Smuggler, an insulated cooler that is ideal for those hot, humid summer days.
After all, who would not want to treat their parched lips with an ice cold drink? This stealthy insulated cooler will slide into your golf bag without making it look out of place or unfashionable.

SensoGlove improves your golf game
There’s something about golf: either you are either completely obsessed with it, or you just don’t give a darn about it. I am of the latter camp, but I can see why the former would be interested in the SensoGlove.
The SensoGlove is billed as “the first digital golf glove”. I’m not certain what will be the second, but the SensoGlove has a “small, sweat-proof 1.2 LED digital monitor [that] analyses the pressure of the swing through highly responsive sensors place throughout the glove”.
I got a chance to try it out for myself, and I could feel the sensors in the fingertips. Squeezing on them too hard caused an tiny alrm to go off, and I even saw what finger was squeezing too hard. It works with real-time audio and visual feedback at 80 times per second to make sure you get your “target level of grip pressure”.

G-Clip Compact 4-in-1 Golf Tool
Golfers have their fair share of gadgets too, you know, although the selection might be rather limited compared to a true blue geek. Well, if you are only allowed to purchase 3 gadgets for your golf hobby, then perhaps the £14.99 G-Clip Compact 4-in-1 Golf Tool should be made compulsory, never mind that it is relatively affordable. Not everything that is expensive is good and vice versa. After all, when 9 out of 10 PGA Tour Partners Members would recommend it, you know for sure that this is going to be one impressive gizmo. Just what do you do with it though?
For starters, this highly portable device comes with a built-in magnet that will hold your place markers, while a stainless steel divot tool will help repair and aerate greens. Not only that, it also doubles up as a club rest so that your grips remain dry, now how about that? A sprung holder is able to hold a couple of thick or thin tees of any length, while molded Velcro will securely hold your loose glove. Not only that, it will attach in a jiffy to your belt or waistband, being easily accessible whenever you need it.
Considering the fact that it tips the scales at a mere 1oz (28g), this seems to be the perfect gift for dad if he has made mom a golf widow. Perhaps it might just prove to be the tipping point for him to play more golf than he would want to, turning away from the game completely after that.
Twilight Supernova for golfers who love playing till late at night
Not everyone has the vision of a cat at night – but that doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy your game of golf even though you’re whacking away in poor light conditions. This unique £29.99 Twilight Supernova is a professional-quality golf ball which will feature built-in impact-activated LEDs. Once you tee off (or having some bunker issues, trying to chip your way through), it will flash rapidly to the tune of 7.2 times per second – and remain that way for up to 8 minutes. That ought to provide ample time for you to see the ball long enough and walk to it, don’t you think so?
Not only that, there is a back-up plan with the Twilight Supernova. The moment the LEDs stop flashing, Supernova’s patented After-Glow technology kicks in to make sure the ball will be able to glow brightly for several hours more. Available in blue, green and white colors, they look positively radioactive after you’ve given it a good whack. The built-in battery is able to last for around 40 hours or 300 hits whichever comes first, and I think it might even make for an alternative toy for cats to chase around with at night.
PGA Tour Electronic Golf Scorecard
Even though you might be best buddies for many decades already, human relationships can be pretty fragile at times – and a game of golf might end up in fistcuffs when some cheating has been discovered, or in accounting circles, ‘creative adjustments’ in the scorecard. What better way to prevent a slip of the pencil than with modern technology? I guess this is where the £14.99 PGA Tour Electronic Golf Scorecard would definitely come in handy.
No longer do you need to remember to sharpen those pencils and remember to bring enough paper the next time you’re going to spend some time on the greens, all you need is the PGA Tour Electronic Golf Scorecard and you’re good to go. Just make sure there is enough juice remaining to keep it powered, where said device is able to score up to 4 players simultaneously. It clips on easily to your golf bag, and with a LCD display that makes it easy to tell the score at a glance, a sliding cover ensures it remains safe from any splashes, knocks and flying divots. Heck, it is smart enough to let you know the time and temperature as well.
PGA Tour Indoor & Outdoor Putting Mat
Golf widows, the next time your husband feels the itch to head for the green after forgetting his promise of bringing you out that day for some time together, it is time you put your high heels down. Make sure he has at least £28.99 left on his credit card so that he is able to “buy” this for himself – with you making the purchase, of course. We’re talking about the PGA Tour Indoor & Outdoor Putting Mat to make sure he gets his putting fix in the comfort of his home – only after he brings you out as promised for your couple’s day. Let him know he can get all the exercise from carrying your shopping bags and scouring through all 5 levels of the mall with you to look for that perfect pair of shoes.
The PGA Tour Indoor & Outdoor Putting Mat comes with nearly 2 meters of green, letting anyone who uses it enjoy plenty of room in order to practice your long and short shorts. The ramp that leads to the hole will be ideal for developing your stroke firmness, and throw in a couple of hazards if you feel like you’re up for a challenge. There is a miniature target flag and simulated grass to make it as real an experience as possible, including a bunker and water hazard.
Backyard Driving Range
You know sometimes you just want to head off to the nearest driving range and whack a fair number of balls just for some exercise or to let out your frustration, but even moments like those can be prevented simply because you are too lazy or tired to get into your vehicle and pony your way through rush hour traffic just to get to the nearest driving range. Since there is no place like home, how about the Backyard Driving Range?
Yes sir, this $249.95 purchase is an actual golf training system which will convert any yard into a driving range, just like that without the need to renovate your home. The ball dispenser will be able to stash away up to 150 golf balls, where each of them will be automatically placed on the included tee, so you need not bend over to tee up a ball before making each shot. Sure saves your back a whole lot of trouble, don’t you think so?
Let loose your swing and see the ball fly to the tented net that is made from durable nylon with double-stitching to help it withstand even the hardest drives or iron shots. With side panels that help corral errant shots, the Backyard Driving Range is perfect to let you focus on nothing else but your swing. Heck, there is even a handheld tube that lets you pick up 20 balls at a time and place them in the dispenser in a jiffy. Even better? You can start charging your mates to give this a go in your backyard.
Bracketron Cradle-iT Golf Cart Mount
Golfers have a far wider array of tools (or toys, depending on your point of view) to play with these days whenever they are on the green, so it isn’t only toting around a bag of clubs now. The Bracketron Cradle-iT Golf Cart Mount is one accessory that you might want to consider if you own a piece of golf GPS equipment – either that, or you want your smartphone to be with you in a place where it can be conveniently accessed without having to put your gloved hand into your pocket all too often.
The Bracketron Cradle-iT Golf Cart Mount basically boasts of an extremely versatile design, where you can position it on the cart’s window, dash or any other flat surface in both portrait and landscape modes. There is a powerful suction mount that boasts of a patented, adhesive-free grip technology which claims it can hold it firmly in place without leaving any sticky residue behind which can be quite a chore to remove – although through my experience, suction mounts, like governments, will fail sooner or later. Let us hope that Bracketron is able to live up to its side of the bargain.
