Golf is one of those sports that technology is helping to turn each golf game into an episode of Maxwell Smart. Every year there seems to be more and more interesting gadgets on the market that can help us improve our play and give us an edge on the competition.

One interesting invention in the world of golf gadgetry are high-resolution glare-reducing glasses that are dimmed out so that on a bright sunny day you can see the golf ball glowing in the grass easier. The glasses screen certain colors in the light spectrum light so that the ball is always highlighted. If you wear them while taking a swing you will make a better shot and if you lose the ball in the grass or sand you will be able to find it quicker.  This means that there will be less lost golf balls as well, so this is a money saving gadget too.

Sick of carrying golf balls around? Nowadays you can buy golf putters that have slotted chutes attached to them that will transport the golf balls for you.  Your golf club then turns into a kind of Pez Dispenser out of which golf balls can be shot out into your hand or onto the ground.

There have also been a lot of innovations in the area of golf tees. It is very typical for a golfer to also hit the tee and rip it right out of the ground when taking a swing. You can now buy tees that support the ball on a tiny network of bristles. This means that when you hit the ball it whishes far past the top of the tee.

Do you have dirty golf balls? You can buy round vats that act as sterilizers for balls. All you have to do is collect them in a garland and afterwards dump them in the unit to clean them off. This prevents the usual scrubbing and hosing off of golf balls that is necessary to keep them clean. The other good thing about this is that it keeps the heads of your clubs cleaner as well. However if you are concerned about the condition of your clubs you can also buy club washers that get the heads squeaky clean.  All you have to do is stick the head of the club in the washer and turn it on. These units have a portal on top for the club and are smaller than most crock-pots.

Afraid you might run over pedestrians with your golf cart? If so then why not outfit it with an old fashioned horn that makes a very loud squawking noise. On the downside you might attract the amorous attentions of a few Canada Geese!
