![]() There was a time when golfers wearing prescription glasses or non-prescription sunglasses played at a disadvantage. Not anymore. Glasses, especially sunglasses, can be valuable tools. Callaway Eyewear features Neox lens technology with golf-specific tints to help golfers track the ball and read greens better, while producing sharper images by eliminating glare and increasing the depth of field. The light titanium frame is attached to the lens without a screw, meaning that the lens won’t come loose. The fact that the eyewear looks great is an added bonus to what a pair might do for your game. Callaway Eyewear prices range from $70 to $200. The collection can be seen at www.callawayeyewear.com. PAT FORK – Putting Accuracy Trainer At first glance, the PAT Fork is a stainless steel divot tool that won’t bend out of shape. But open the fork and a putting target of 4.25 inches — the measurement of a regulation-size cup — is at your disposal. The Putting Accuracy Training portion of the gadget is great for practicing at a backed-up tee box and convenient if the course’s practice green doesn’t have a cup producing the right-to-left putts you want to work on. It sells for about $10 and is available at local retail golf shops. For more information visit www.san-ai-corp.com. GOSPEL GOLF BALLS – Spreading the word a shot at a time Spray some shots and spread the word. Or maybe hit a wayward shot and save a wayward soul. Who knows? Stranger things have happened. Gospel Golf Balls have Scripture verses and Bible references printed on them, so when somebody digs one out of the rough, finds one in the bushes or fishes one out of a pond, they’re sure to see the message. You can even try the direct approach and give someone a sleeve as a gift. They’re sold for $20 a dozen. To order, visit www.GospelGolfPro.com. BIONIC GOLF GLOVE – Get a grip on your game You don’t need to be a six million dollar man to reap the benefits of the Bionic Golf Glove, which features strategically placed pads to reduce the pressure and friction caused by gripping a club for 18 holes. The glove also features Lycra web zones around the knuckles and at the base of the fingers to promote breathability while keeping your hand cool and dry. The Arthritis Foundation gave the Bionic Glove its first ease-of-use commendation, and the USGA has sanctioned the glove for tournament play for golfers with arthritis or hand pain. The glove sells for $25 and is available at Roger Dunn Golf Shops. For more information, visit www.bionicgloves.com. |
