There is a special feeling of satisfaction that every golfer can relate to after sinking the ball in the cup after a few beautiful strokes. This elusive feeling has driven golfers the world over, to improve their game every time they step on a golf course. That’s why golf gadgets were made.
Some gadgets are fun and convenient and others are practical, but all allow the golfer to focus on what is most important - the beautiful game.
The Shadow Caddy
If you are a golfer who wants to try out your back swing alone without sarcastic remarks from a human caddy, here is the perfect solution. The Shadow Caddy operates by following a small transmitter attached to your belt. This means no remote control or joysticks to slow you down – where you go, your caddy follows. It frees your hands and allows you to concentrate on your game. $20 and up to rent for a game.
Golf Swing Analyzing Watch
This watch is possibly one of most helpful golf gadgets you’ll ever wear. It identifies imperfections in your back swing, analyzes the tempo and rhythm of swings and it even tells the time. It’s truly an advanced gadget for the committed golfer. Cost: $399
Automatic Golf Tee
Want to practice your swing? The Automatic Golf Tee perfectly tees a ball every time, thus allowing golfers to rehearse their hole in one drives. You can also chip or putt on mats or grass without interfering with the stance of the ball. It does not require a power source to function and is suitable for left and right-handed players. It is also compact and light enough to carry everywhere. Cost: $34.95
The Big Daddy Driver
The Big Daddy Driver has been unanimously voted as the funniest golf gift ever by people with a healthy sense of humor. This club looks like an ordinary driver but it has an interesting little twist, it cuts the grass too! It transforms into a weed whacker when you really need to clear out that extra tuft of grass right where your ball landed. Of course, it can’t be used in a serious game but it really does put a smile on people’s faces when they see its dual function. Cost: $40 - $60
Pro Chip Island Golf

Golf Driver Kooler Club
You can call this gadget the coolest or hottest gadget ever made, depending on the temperature of the beverage you store in this unique club. The Golf Driver Kooler looks suspiciously like a regular golf club but comes equipped with the capability of storing 48-ounces of your favorite drink. Just a few discreet taps on the pump action dispenser will fill your glass. The shaft of this amazing gadget fits easily into your golf bag, but it is large enough to accept ice cubes and the liquid of your choice. Cost: $45
