Join ProLink GPS guides golfers at The Hollows Golf Club
ProLink Solutions is a name not to be trifled with when it comes to GPS golf course management systems as well as digital out-of-home on-course advertising, hence their announcement of introducing the new GameStar GPS system that is currently being used at The Hollows Golf Club (Montpelier, Va.). For folks who love hitting a fair number of balls on the green, The Hollows Golf Club is but a short drive from downtown Richmond, nestled in scenic and historic Hanover County, near Scotchtown, the home of Patrick Henry. It has been touted to be one of the areas most user-friendly links, where you will be able to indulge in three 9-hole courses (Road, Lake, and Cottage) that were specially designed to accommodate golfers of all skill levels.

Golf Green Doormat
This must be one of the cooler pieces of doormats an avid golfer would ever come across, although the £16.99 price point might be a bit more expensive compared to the standard vanilla version that fails to elicit a smile from anyone who drops by your place for a visit. This piece of home decor will make your golfing buddies envious of you, while ordinary folk will definitely ask you where you got it from. All you need to do is point them towards here and their enquiries will be satisfied, as the Golf Green Doormat was made to mimic a putting green.
Laser putter perfect for straight greens, not much else
It was inevitable that geeks who love golf would figure out a high tech way to try and help with a struggling putting game. Granted, there are other possible solutions, but when someone decided to attach a triple Argon Laser to a putter they may have forgotten that most greens have breaks in them and few are able to put in straight line to the hole. But that doesn’t prevent them from trying. And besides, it looks cool.

Can the Gyroscopic Golf Club improve your game?
I might not be the best reviewer for this next product, because I am neither a golfer nor a physicist. Be that as it may, I humbly present the Gyro Swing, a golf club that uses principles of physics to improve your game.
As you can see in the photo, the golf club has a tiny wheel inside of it. I’m not really certain what powers it, but this wheel can spin at a dizzying speed of 20,000 rpm. The spinning motion allows the user to “feel” the correct shot.
How can this work? Some of you might remember a little experiment that you did in a high school or college physics lab where you spun a bicycle wheel, and then you could miraculously balance the axle end on the side of a desk, as long as the wheel was spinning.
In short, spinning a wheel within a golf club removes any shaky movements that the golfer can unintentionally put on it. The result is a smoother swing that will strike the ball at a correct angle.

Putter Bot Could Revolutionize Robot Sports
We already have Battlebots, where Robots take on each other in something resembling wrestling, so why not have them play other sports, like golf?
Well, this Putter Bot Remote Controlled Golfer is certainly a good start. It may not be a fully automated robot per se, as it needs a human to command it. Let’s face it, the robot is doing most of the work.

SensoGlove puts your swing to the test
Imagine the personal tragedy it would cause to finally retire after 50 years of hard work, only to discover that your golf game is disastrous. You just can’t seem to get the damn ball in the hole, and the harder you try, the more frustrated and sloppy your game gets. And you thought golf was supposed to be relaxing!
The problem could be an utter lack of athletic prowess, or perhaps a coordination issue, but for most of us, the problem lies in the most fundamental of skills: the swing. The high-quality leather SensoGlove puts your swing to the test using a host of sensors and a tiny on-board computer.

Golf Driver Kooler Klub Serves Up The Stealth
Let’s be honest with ourselves. Not every golf player is lucky enough to join a fancy country club. The kind where chauffeurs are sent to fetch your every whim. You want a diet soda? You’ve got it! You want some hard lemonade? No problem! The vast majority of us need to play on public courses. The kind where getting to the 18th hole means dodging across the highway which intersects the course.
By the time you get far enough away from the club house, there is just no way you’re going to want to make the hike back and forth between the beverage counter and your hole. Yet most golf courses ban players to bring any outside beverages onto the course. Luckily, The Designated Driver Kooler Klub from After 5 Catalog has us covered.
