Until recently, fans weren't even allowed to bring cell phones to ...

If we ever have a prayer at being a decent golfer, we'll need a little help from our old buddy technology. Since the seasoned golf pros we know personally claim that grip is key to a perfect swing, this $89 golf glove, which gives a digital readout of your grip's pressure level, might be a good place for us to start. Ideally, a golfer wants to keep a light grip on the club, which leads to better ...

As the company explains on its blog, the new ball is, for all ...

According to Engadget, the Masters organization is ...

Garmin Approach G5 (Sports Fan, Under $500) To some, the game of golf is nothing more than a good walk spoiled. For the true disciples of the game, it is a test of character and mental fortitude. Both parties agree that it can flat out embarrass you. For those who could use an ace up their sleeve (we're talking to you, everyone that isn't Tiger Woods) the Garmin Approach G5 might be just ...

If you thought John Daly's lack of fashion sense shamed the game of golf, just wait till you see a golfer cruising around the local course on a MANTYS. Let's go ahead and get this out of the way: The MANTYS is pretty much a Segway with four wheels, and you'll look just as lame puttering around on the former as you would the latter. The rider stands on the back of the electric vehicle, holds onto ...
