Golf Balls Gadgets for Geeks

Goofy golf gadgets and geeky golf balls are everywhere � check out our guide below.

Christmas and Father's Day are obvious targets in the annual deluge of crazy gifts and whacky presents. And golfers are prime targets for bizarre golf balls, duff golf clubs and everything that flashes and is a crazy fluorescent color. Are you going to be a victim of the crass golf gadgets?

Here are just a few to avoid:

• Hit and Flash Balls

The blurb says: �If you've ever had difficulty finding your balls after dark (golf balls that is) then these might just be the answer, the Twilight Tracer Golf Balls.'

Fair enough. But seriously, how many golfers hit the golf course when it's dark? What would be the point? Just so you can really focus on your game when it's pitch black the hit and flash golf balls subtly �light up' when you hit them, changing from a �boring white dimpled ball to an all singing red flashing flying sphere'. The flashing effects last five minutes just so it will really annoy you and your golf colleagues. I'm sure Tiger Woods wouldn't find the funny side if he found these golf balls in his Christmas stocking.

• Digital Putter aims to help you score

Ah, another golf gadget that promises to improve your game. Whatever the gizmo you invest in and no matter how many times you hit golf balls with it, the fact is investing in a good set of golf clubs and golf balls are probably the best way to spend money � that and practising on a real golf course. If you want to improve how you hit your golf balls, spend your money wisely and take lessons from a professional.

• The Remote Control Golf Ball

There is the famous saying that golf is a good walk ruined � unless of course you have a remote-controlled golf ball, than the game is hilarious! It's stupid but fun and a way to really get your own back on your golfing partner who has a better handicap than you. Activate the device and watch the crazy golf balls spin off in random directions. You'll be the most popular person in your golf club! Not! But who knows, maybe it could improve your handicap.
