Appearance with Dan Suble on WWNN 1470 'Golf and Travel Show' 12/2/16

Talking some great golf and travel gadgets and tech for the holiday gift-giving season with my friend, Dan Shube, host of "The Golf and Travel Show" which airs live on am 1470 WWNN in Palm Beach as well as 95.3 FM in Pompano Beach and then it airs on Sunday on 740 am in Boca Ration. 

 

I love coming on and conversing with Dan and in this case, talking some great golf, travel and other holiday gift ideas.

Have a listen to both parts:

1. Get a Good Night Sleep with the Dreampad Smart Pillow

Golfers need a good night sleep and the Dreampad soothes troubled sleepers by emitting scientifically tested sound and vibrations to reduce stress and calm the mind and body. Dreampad connects with an easy to use smartphone app via Bluetooth and the soothing music and sounds do not disturb your partner.  
 

2.  Going along with the good night sleep.... live in a healthier environment with...

Honeywell Compact AirGenius 4 Air Cleaner - small tower unit that packs a big punch

Golfers have allergies and this AirGenius can keep allergies at bay
50 million Americans who suffer from nasal allergies, Honeywell Air Purifiers is introducing the Honeywell Compact AirGenius 4 Air Cleaner, a powerful and more efficient way to clean indoor air. A slightly smaller version of the popular AirGenius 4 Tower Air Purifier, the Compact Air Genius 4 has four intuitive operation settings—Sleep, General, Allergen, and Max—and uses contemporary controls to optimize filter performance in rooms up to 150SqFt. The patented ifD® filtration system, only available with Honeywell Air Purifiers, captures up to 99.9% of particles that pass through the filters, including those you can’t see. This model also includes a permanent, washable filter for convenience and low cost maintenance.

 
Products back out to the golf course...

3. New Bridgestone Golf Balls  - e6 Soft and e6 Speed

Developed using data gathered from more than 2 million in-person and online ball fitting sessions, the e6 series is the company’s most popular ball because testing proves it is 9 yards longer and 31% straighter than leading competitors. The new models improve upon this heritage and offer players the choice to select a feel that suits individual preference. Additional details include:
    e6 SOFT provides wonderful feel throughout the bag, reduces driver spin for longer distance and optimizes launch with irons/wedges for superior stopping power
    e6 SPEED delivers explosive initial ball velocity for incredible straight distance
    Both models feature new Delta Dimple Technology, minimizing air resistance to further enhance distance and accuracy

4.  Datrek Line of Golf Bags including the CARRY LITE PRO Stand Bag

Compact and lightweight at only 4.6 lbs., the Carry Light Pro Stand Bag is designed for the golfer who walks a majority of rounds. The double straps provide a balanced and easy carry. Available in five color combinations with a price of $119.95.

The entire collection of Datrek bags feature IDS®; the Individual Divider System offers ultimate club organization with full-length individual dividers. Datrek’s all new 2017 products include full feature cart, stand and hybrid stand bags with ergonomic handles integrated into the top for carrying convenience and dedicated putter wells for easy access.

5.  The Net Return  -  Quality net for golf, soccer, lacrosse, football kicking - starts at $99
 

6.  William J. Murray Clothing line

Yes, when he isn't out following the Chicago Cubs, Bill Murray has a new clothing line out.
The William Murray Golf line will break away from traditional golf apparel companies by bringing a new look and feel to the industry with a little irreverence and a lot of style. The style will truly be first-of-its kind in the golf world and not one you'll typically see on the course. The incredibly fashionable line will consist of uniquely designed polos, shorts and hats. And even a golf buttoned down, which has become Bill's signature look on the course. Bill was actually recently seen wearing one of the WMG polos at the Ryder Cup the other week. Here is an awesome photo with him in the gear.

With the launch, golfer Pat Perez, one of the more unique personalities in the game today, will also officially start serving as the first WMG ambassador. Pat will be outfitted in WMG gear while on the course.
 

7.  For the golfer that has everything and likes to cook and eat.

Benihana "Be the Chef" Experience

4. Miura Hybrid  - for those that have a hard time hitting hybrids

The MG Hybrid follows through smoothly after impact thanks to Miura Golf's new Circle Cut method sole shape in which a line cuts through the club's sole, creating a stepped tier on the sole and the optimal center of gravity to provide the optimal ball trajectory for a hybrid iron.

The MG Hybrid mostly focuses on the blade's height, not the head volume. The blade height is almost the same size as the height of the ball at 43mm. Thus, golfers at address can think of the MG Hybrid as an iron at address, and can hit the ball the same way as an iron. Plus, golfers also have an increased amount of relief at address.
