I watched the Golf Channel tonight to see who was going to win "Fore Inventors Only" and "The Club Caddy" came out on top. This invention is so simple and so easy to use that I'm sure every golfer could use it.
If you haven't seen it... it looks like a clothes pin. You clamp it to the shaft of the golf club close to the head of the golf club. It creates a tripod type of stand between the clip and club head. It's used to keep your club from getting wet or dirty when laying on the ground. You know when you grab your wedge and putter and have to set your putter down on the ground to hit your wedge? Well this little gadget will keep your golf club grip from getting wet.
If my description doesn't make sense then go take a look here at The Club Caddy on thegolfchannel.com.
What do you think of the invention? Will you buy one?

Golf SkyCaddie Is The Real Deal
A while back a made a post about the SkyCaddie by SkyGolf. It's a golf gadget (more like a tool) that uses GPS technology to give you yardage to the green, bunker, water hazard, etc... When I made that post I was pretty impressed with it, but now I have a different opinion.
I think the SkyCaddie is the best thing that has been developed for the game of golf since the metal wood. I got the SG2 SkyCaddie for Christmas and I've been using it everytime I go out and play a round of golf. I can't tell you how awesome this golf tool is.
I honestly think it's only a matter of time before these are approved for all kinds of play. The SkyCaddie probably saves me 2 to 3 strokes a round and that's a lot when you consider I'm playing to a 4.4 index. I can't imagine what the SkyCaddie would do for higher handicap player!
If you haven't heard about this then you're missing out. If you've been thinking about getting one then do it. You want regret it one bit.
I just checked on the price at GigaGolf.com and it's been reduced down to $279 with FREE Shipping. If you were thinking of getting the next latest and greatest driver or putter then you should definitely reconsider it and get the SkyCaddie instead. You'll immediately start reducing your scores.

Golfsmith Golf Gadgets Galore
Golfsmith is currently having a sale on a lot of their golf gadgets. I personally haven't used these products, but the two that interest me the most are the SkyCaddie GPS and the Radar Golf System. Here's a list of the golf gadgets I saw on sale. SKY GOLF SkyCaddie SG2
L1 TECHNOLOGIES, INC iGolf GPS Caddie
Lasercaddy Rangefinder
BUSHNELL Yardage Pro Pinseeker W/Slope
RADAR GOLF System
The SkyCaddie GPS is cool because it will eventually make the purchasing of the yardage books at the pro shop obsolete. It's already being used on the Adams Golf Tight Lies Tour and I'm sure it's not far from both the PGA and LPGA tours.
Here's a quote by LPGA Tour Player Natalie Gulbis "As a TOUR Player, I know how difficult it is to estimate yardages on my own. That's why I use a great TOUR Caddie or my SkyCaddie."
Peter Jacobson thoughts on the SkyCaddie GPS "The SkyCaddie gives you the critical information that allows you to play to your fullest potential ... Play golf just once with the SkyCaddie, and I guarantee three things will happen: you'll play better, you'll play faster, and you'll have more fun!"
The Radar Golf System is ingenious. For a lot of golfers this thing would pay for itself in no time by retrieving the golf balls they would have lost as well as pocketing all of the other balls they find.
Both of these seem like they would be useful for any golfer. Any golfer would love to have one of these golf gadgets as a gift under the Christmas tree.

Golf Gadget, SkyCaddie Approved For Play
Golf technology seems to be springing up every where for practically every part of the golf game. All of the space age metals these day to manufacture the golf heads of drivers, irons, and putters. The high-tech manufacturing of golf balls as well especially with the new golf balls from TaylorMade.
There are also the handheld GPS golf devices that have been around for a couple years to help in computing yardages on the golf course. These devices have been forbidden on the PGA and LPGA tours as well as in tournament play, but one such device has recently been given the nod. The SkyCaddie powered by SkyGolf's advanced SG2 technology, gives you the same information that a Pro would receive from a top PGA TOUR Caddie — all in the palm of your hand. The SkyCaddie was chosen by the PGA Learning Center and is the FIRST electronic measuring device approved for use during the Adams Golf Tight Lies Tour!
The SkyCaddie measures over hills and around obstacles. It calculates yardages up to 40 targets per hole in less than a second, automatically! No aiming, no missing. You don't need a clear line of sight or reflective target with the SkyCaddie. Because the targets are pre-programmed, the SkyCaddie eliminates the need to aim through a lens, accidentally hitting the wrong target on a hole, or trying to hit a pin with a laser beam at 200 yards.
It'll be interesting to see how long it will take for these devices reach their way into the PGA and LPGA Tours.
Have you tried this golf gadget? If so I'd like to hear your comments.
