PUT YOUR HEART INTO THE GAME Golf coaches say the key to consistency is keeping your heart rate near its resting level, and this biofeedback watch uses Mio sensors to determine and track that part of your game. The watch is also a stat caddie, recording your scores while adding up putts, greens hit and other categories. You may not have the heart to tell your partner you’ve just mastered another part of the game, but your watch will back you up on it. Mio Golf XE sells for $179 at www.miowatch.com/golf. A PRO IN YOUR POCKET Simply formatted and pocket-perfect, this 5-by-3-inch laminated guide is worth its weight in thrown clubs. Don’t think twice about how to align yourself on a side-hill shot — just flip the guide open and find out. From drops to etiquette, the guide contains all the problem-solving stuff you wish you could ask a teaching pro in your group. It sells for $8 at Roger Dunn Golf Shops or online at www.bonfit.com. DON’T LET WEATHER DAMPEN YOUR SPIRIT Sooner or later, everyone gets caught playing in the rain. Here’s something that will give you the upper hand in your soggy foursome. Rainwedge deploys like the awning on a baby stroller: flip the cover up with one hand and grab a club from your bag with the other. The device attaches with two clips to the sides of your bag while being secured through the bag handle. How dry I am. Rainwedge sells for $30 at www.rainwedge.com. |
