Secret compartments are cool. Whether it’s the room behind a pivoting bookshelf, the flask inside a cane (a sword is even better), or an underground vault, the ability to stash away goods from the unsuspecting summons up fantasies of living as a mad scientist, James Bond or Batman.
For golfers who have something to hide, Bracketron recently unveiled the Smuggler, an insulated soft-sided “cooler” with a reusable cold gel pack that holds up to six cans of your favorite liquid. It’s designed to “discreetly” slide into a golf bag, which, we gather, means sneaking beverages of the adult variety onto the green. The Smuggler will sell for $24.95.
The Smuggler is part of Bracketron’s lineup of mobile accessories for golfers, including mounts for securing a GPS or smart phone device to a golf cart or bag.
There has been no shortage of mobile devices for golf. There is the new Garmin GPS unit designed specifically for golfers, there are countless apps and of course various portable training aids. But now aboutGolf is taking golf simulators out and about with the aG Mobile, a launch monitor that features track ball and club tracking technology. This wireless unit can connect to a Windows-operated tablet or computer/LCD monitor for software display and allow golfers to get real-time data.
This week at the Consumer Electronics Show Garmin has wanting to get outside and take in 18 holes instead of walking the show floor. The company is showing off its new Approach G6 GPS unit, designed for those heading out to the golf course. The device is slim and sleek, and perfect for hitting the links.
Women golfers have a new bag to consider, and it has been designed in unity with the colors and styles of Nike Golf women’s footwear and apparel for those looking to be coordinated from head to toe. Nike Golf has announced the release of two new golf bags to its successful Nike Brassie II Cart bag collection for women in 2012. Each Brassie II cart bag incorporates key features and benefits for the female golfer who often uses a trolley or power cart.
No matter what the weather may bring golfers looking to improve their game can get into the stroke with the aboutGolf aG one, a standardized simulator system. The producer of PGA TOUR Simulators and golf performance technology has announced the introduction of this new system.
There seems to be specific shoes for just about every sport under the sun, for use on the field, on a bike and of course on the greens – the latter being golf shoes. Now not to bemoan those who like the Carrier Bradshaw approach to shoe shopping/collecting, but are all these shoes all really necessary? For those who like to play golf on occasion but don’t see the need for another pair of shoes, there is a solution, the Quick Spikes, which are being billed as “the temporary golf spike solution.”
While we still think a good game of golf means walking 18 holds, there are those who still prefer a golf cart, and Nike Golf now has a new Performance Cart bag, designed for the golfer who chooses to venture out onto the course on wheels.
