Playing Golf Should Be Exactly That - Playing.
With Game Golf, game tracking happens in the background, so yo u can focus on playing instead of note-taking. Install the unique tags into each of your clubs and simply tag each club to the device before you take your shot. Game Golf logs what club you use and where on the course you use it. By combining these observations, your game is visualized like never before. Round stats can be viewed on mobile devices and tablets using the Game Golf app after uploading your game via a laptop or desktop computer. MSRP: $$269.99 Visit www.gamegolf.com.

Priced from under $6000. www.omegawatches.com.
The Pill™ Golf Training Ball
Think of a tire. If you don't roll it straight, it wobbles around or falls flat. The same logic is applied to a golf ball to create "The Pill™ Golf Training Ball," a training tool with major feedback. The Pill golf training ball helps you understand your swing by exaggerating flaws for quick detection & correction. Inaccuracies send it wobbling, rolling at a curve or falling on its side. Instant insight improves your performance for putt, chip & full shot. Visit www.thepillgolf.com. MSRP: $12.95.

Callaway Big Bertha Irons
The new Big Bertha Irons can make you up to 2 clubs longer. It's the ball speed all across the face that makes this distance a reality because for the first time ever, Callaway is putting the same Cup 360 Face Technology it uses in its fairway woods into its irons. The face is more flexible too so the ball jumps off the face with more speed. And these clubs are easy to launch with maximum forgiveness and an advanced, confident look that showcases all of Callaway's best technology. Visit www.callawaygolf.com.
