Like any other sport, golf players tend to purchase items that, while adorable, are not necessarily required for the actual game. One can’t really blame them since most of these objects are pretty cute! Here are 15 golf-related gadgets that are not essential but sure to add excitement and innovation to your game.
Golf Ball Finder Glasses
These high-tech specs promise to help you spot those wayward balls, turning you into a golf course superhero. While they might prevent you from embarrassing searches in the rough, they won’t fix that slice. Try pairing them with some practice time at the driving range for best results.
Golf Ball Monogrammer
Amazon
This is when you want the balls to be as unique as your swing. This gadget lets you personalize every ball with your initials or a tiny masterpiece. It’s great fun until you realize you’re spending more time decorating balls than actually hitting them.
Golf Club Drink Dispenser
Amazon
A club that holds our favorite beverage sounds like a fabulous idea because sometimes you need a little “swing oil.” Remember, the scores will possibly improve after a few sips, but only in your imagination. Be careful when using or you’ll find yourself trying to drive the golf cart home.
GPS-Enabled Golf Glove
Amazon
The GPS glove tells you exactly how far you are from the hole if you’re a directionally challenged golfer. It’s similar to getting a mini-caddy on your hand without the sage advice and witty banter. These are nice for impressing buddies until they notice you can’t read the greens.
Golf Bag Cooler
Amazon
This device will keep drinks frosty while you work on that hot streak. This attachment ensures you’re never far from refreshment as it turns a golf bag into a mobile mini fridge. Fair warning—the extra weight slows down your cart and swing.
Swing Recording Camera
Amazon
Capture every moment of golf glory or folly. The swing recording cam lets you analyze your form in high-def, proving once and for all that your backswing really does look like a rubber chicken having a seizure. Use with caution: brutal honesty ahead!
Automatic Golf Ball Teeing Device
Amazon
This nifty contraption promises to save us the trouble of bending over to place the ball. It’s like having a tiny robot caddy just for teeing up. Though it doesn’t help in the backswing, it saves one a few seconds every hole. On the flip side, it could be a conversation starter!
Heated Golf Balls
Amazon
Who would have thought that heated golf balls existed? These toasty spheres swear longer drives but are about as tournament-legal as a catapult. Reserve them for those chilly practice sessions where impressing only yourself is the goal. Better yet, skip these entirely.
Golf Club-Shaped BBQ Tools
Amazon
Bring that golf obsession to the grill with these club-inspired utensils. Flip burgers with a mini-driver and serve salad with a putter. Everything goes well until someone inadvertently takes hold of the actual 9-iron while trying to turn a steak. At least you’ll get some extra practice swings in.
Golf Ball Ice Cube Trays
Amazon
Cool a drink with tiny frozen golf balls because regular ice is too mainstream. These are perfect for themed parties or confusing the cat. Don’t mix them up with actual golf balls, or else the next water hazard will be in your glass.
Home Golf Simulator
Amazon
Bring the course to any living room, minus the fresh air and random weather tantrums—wind and all. Suitable for perfecting a swing or procrastinating on household chores. It’s so fun that it may cause arguments over who is to play Pebble Beach.
Robotic Caddy
Amazon
The robotic caddy can also be the ideal golfing buddy. It can be a faithful mechanical companion on the course that carries clubs and never judges your fashion choices. It follows you everywhere—just hope it doesn’t develop speech and start giving unsolicited swing advice.
Golf Cart Sound System
Amazon
Turn a golf outing into a mobile party with this cart upgrade. It is ideal for drowning out the sound of the ball hitting the water or serenading nearby players with some favorite tunes. Use responsibly, or risk becoming the course’s unofficial DJ.
Office Putting Green
Amazon
Practice a short game while pretending to brainstorm quarterly goals in the office. It’s all fun and games until you refer to the cubicle as “the back nine.” It may increase productivity or severely hamper it. Whatever the case, results may vary.
Animal Headcover Golf Club Covers
Amazon
Protect the clubs with a menagerie of plush animal heads. These cuddly covers add a touch of whimsy to your bag and might even help you channel your spirit animal for that pivotal putt. Don’t be surprised if you begin making animal noises after a particularly good shot.
