THE BEST Golf

Like a real caddy but minus the grumbling, Shadow Caddy is a robotic cart that follows you via a transmitter on your belt; object detection prevents collisions with objects and other golfers.

FineTuneGolf’s RoboCup makes practice putting infinitely easier: simply place it in a cup up to 14 feet away, and it’ll return your golf balls over 15,000 times on 4 AA batteries.

Available in March, TaylorMade’s new R9 drivers and fairway woods allow golfers to adjust the clubhead in one of eight positions using a wrench; only the drivers get weight ports.

Forget those sissy one-beam laser putters: the Argon Laser Putter packs three laser rails for fine tuning your putting skills without worrying about the ball blocking the beam.

Just like beer goes with bowling, this Jack Daniels Golf Flask is perfect for golfers who sip between swings; it includes a stainless steel flask, four tees and a pitch repair tool.

Callaway’s Ft-IQ Driver hits balls faster, straighter and farther, thanks to a hyperbolic face, high moment of inertia and precise center of gravity which reduces backspin.

For golfers who like high-tech, Ogio’s Anomaly Golf Bag features a lightweight exo-skeletal frame, a 10″ Uniter 15 club top, 3-point ergo handle and 13 accessory pockets. Thanks, Ben!

World Golf Tour is a beautifully rendered golfing sim, all the more amazing that it’s free and playable online. Based on the Bali Hai course in Vegas, it uses Google Earth-like tech.

Traditional golfers tend to frown on Hybrid clubs, but most who try Adams Idea’s A3 Boxer Hybrids swear by them: they’re easier to hit with, and hit straighter, longer and higher.

Proof that companies have a sense of humor: above is EA’s response to a user who YouTube’d a video showing a Tiger Woods PGA Tour glitch where players could walk on water.
