4. GoPro MAX Action Cam  $499

Shoot 360 3K Video at 60fps for High-Action Capture and 2x Slo-Mo
Time Lapse Video and Time Lapse Photo Added to 360 Mode

Perfect for filming your golf swing

GoPro released an update for its award-winning MAX 360-camera today that unlocks awesome new options for spherical video and photo capture. New features include the addition of 3k at 60 frames per second, Time Lapse Video and Time Lapse Photo, all in 360 mode.

The availability of 3K video at 60fps gives users more flexibility when filming things that are action-oriented or anything that simply would look cool in slow-mo, from speeding down a mountain to simply tossing a frisbee. 

This 2x slow-mo mode also allows for more time to pan and zoom around in the frame while the action is happening so you can get the perfect shot.

Also new is the addition of 360 Time Lapse Video and Time Lapse Photo – features already available in single-lens HERO mode and now brought to spherical capture. Time Lapse Video mode in 360 means users have more interval options for capturing longer periods of time – ideal for a sunrise, sunset or scenic drive.
 

5. Galway Bay - Rain Gear

If the golfer in your life dreams of traveling to play in Ireland, Scotland or at Bandon Dunes, they’re going to want to bring quality rain gear. Galway Bay’s premium rain jacket and true-to-size rain pants have been named “Best Rain Gear” for two straight years by MyGolfSpy’s panel of reviewers.

Galway Bay rainwear stands apart in the industry with lightweight, breathable fabrics that allow golfers to stretch and move freely while staying warm and dry. Designed by expert tailors and using 100-percent-waterproof and 100-percent-breathable materials, Galway Bay’s outerwear was developed to be a refreshing, fashion-forward alternative to bulky, ill-fitting and uncomfortable rain gear.

Galway Bay’s pants, which feature belt loops, a seven-inch zipper and nine-inch-deep pockets, and incorporate the same fabric used for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, are designed to look like and be worn as golf slacks, eliminating the need to dress in layers. The pants can be ordered to fit a golfer’s exact waist and inseam sizes, optimizing comfort, fit and style like no other rain pant ever has.

The all-weather Galway Bay jacket is available in multiple color options and features a softer, quieter fabric than typical rain gear and rubberized waterproof zippers.

Sports Talker 'Papa Joe' Chevalier Dies at 62 

If you have listened to nationallt syndicated sports talk radio in the last 20 years, you know the name, "Papa Joe" Chevalier.

"Papa Joe" Chevalier, a longtime Las Vegas resident who built a wide following with his local and syndicated sports talk radio show, died Friday from complications of a stroke at Nathan Adelson Hospice in Las Vegas. He was 62.

Chevalier, popular for expressing views that largely represented the average sports fan, suffered a stroke in late March that resulted in paralysis to his right side. His speech and cognitive processes were not affected.

Chevalier was born and raised in Pittsburgh but made his name in Las Vegas. He eventually moved to Chicago, where "The Papa Joe Show" was nationally syndicated by the Sporting News Radio Network until 2005.

Chevalier became known for "Bite Me Wednesday," in which he would encourage fans to call in and air grievances, and his show was featured in "Sports Talk: A Journey Inside the World of Sports Talk Radio," a 2001 book by Alan Eisenstock about the genre's growing popularity.

Art Chevalier said his brother was the same person off the air as on it, which resonated with his fans and friends.

"He didn't mince words, and that's why people loved him," Art Chevalier said. "You might not agree with him, but you knew where he stood."
