6. Bag Boy Set to Unveil Brand New Shield Bag

Bag Boy, a leader in innovative golf products and accessories, is thrilled to unveil its newest product, the Shield cart bag. The Shield’s most compelling element is its unique hard-shell bag design.

The Shield cart bag is a brand-new bag with a modern twist. The Shield utilizes its exclusive hard ABS finish to highlight its new classic, sleek design from top to bottom. Aside from being a captivating bag, it’s also practical. The hard ABS shell serves as a protective armor for precious valuables inside the bag.

With ten total pockets to keep your personal items safe and in-tact, there is no want for more space. In addition to the dedicated, oversized putter well, the bag also includes soft-grip, rubberized lift assist handles integrated into the top.

All accessories considered, the bag weighs in at just 5.5 lbs.

10. Gator Golf Putting Game


Gator Golf

For 2-4 players | Ages 3 and up

A hole-in-one is a lot more fun with Gator Golf! Grab your flamingo golf club, and aim to feed this hungry little Gator. Sink your putt by hitting your ball through the Gator’s mouth into his tail to score, but watch out – he’ll flick your ball with his tail for more putting action. Fun, active gameplay gets kids up and moving while developing large motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Cute birds on the Gator’s back serve as built-in score keepers.

My Appearance on Golf and Travel Show 11/20/15 WWNN, WSBR

Always great to be on "The Golf and Travel Show" with host Dan Shube. It airs live on WWNN, 1470 am in Boca Raton and then rairs on WBSR in the Tampa/St. Peter area.

We talk some great golf and non golf ideas for the holidays this week.

Have a listen to both parts:

Here's additional info on what they discussed:

Black Friday websites... www.bfads.com and BlackFridayDeals.com.  These site give great advice for getting the best deals on Black Friday and all through the holiday shopping season. They also have info on sports stores like Dick's.

1. Titleist's DT TruSoft golf ball

If you can't hit those "hard core" golf balls, Titleist has a new soft ball that is forgiving and softly lands on the green.

Retailing for $21.99, the DT TruSoft is the end product of tedious research and development on Titleist's part. Made right here in the USA, in Massachusetts, the ball offers a new core and cover that will please many a golfer. Golfers should find that the DT TruSoft improves distance on drives and long irons while improving touch around the greens.

2.  Under Armour - Eyewear with Game Day Lenses
All for a price of around $100


Under Armour's partnership with golfer, Jordan Spieth received much press in 2015 with his play on the course and visibility off the course. Basketball star, Stephen Curry is another brand ambassador for Under Armour and he was in the spotlight as he and his teammates march to an NBA Championship. Now with a full line of eyewear, Under Armour has all the bases covered.

Enter their Game Day Lenses with a special color enhancer that comes in handy on the course. What you get is a better look at moving objects, quick and accurate recognition and processing, along with sharper on-field contrast. This makes reading greens and the contours of a course easier and it could help speed up those five-hour rounds you seem to get caught up in each time you pull your golf bag out of your trunk. Any of the frames with Game Day Lenses will work with ball sports.

The Under Armour Igniter 2.0 is a durable and comfortable frame with a titanium base. Unparalleled strength and frame flexibility that last and perform. When you combine the Game Day lens with the frames, users get 20% more peripheral vision and a lens coating that guards against scratches, smears and smudges. Yes, these frames will last more that six months. Remember, these lenses block 100% of UVA, UVB and UVC rays you encounter in life. Quite simply, the blues are bluer, the greens are very green and the ball is whiter than ever so you can follow the ball flight to the ground.
 
3.  Antigua's 2016 Exceed Long-Sleeve Shirts Designed for Ultraviolet Protection

Antigua's new Exceed long-sleeve polos for 2016 incorporate a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 50 rating. They also look good and are a high tech long sleeve golf shirt.
 
Similar to the SPF rating system used for sunscreens, a garment with a UPF of 50 blocks 49/50ths or 98 percent of UV radiation, allowing just 1/50th of it falling on the surface of the garment to pass through. In this case, a UPF 50 factor is incorporated into Antigua's Exceed solid-colored, long-sleeve polos, which are 100 percent polyester micro flat pique with Desert Dry™ Xtra-Lite D²XL moisture management. It's offered in men's and women's styles. Then men's has a three-button placket, flat knit collar and open cuff that comes in a choice of white, dark red, dark purple, dark royal, navy and black. The women's features a three-button Y-neck placket, flat knit collar and open cuff, and comes in a choice of white, dark red, dark royal, navy and black.

6. Bio Mech AccuLock Ace Putter

AccuLock ACE is their latest putter and since it was designed from the body out, the developers say it takes the thinking out of putting and frees up your movement to hit the putt you want. The putter has a PGA Tour professional singing its praises is Heath Slocum as he put it into play and is having success.  “It just feels natural and more athletic. To me it’s just easy and makes sense.”

Dr. Frank Fornari is one of the inventors and co-owners of BioMech, he and BioMech's John Cunningham are traveling around the country hosting clinics and showing golfers what the AccuLock ACE can do for their golf game.

Note: The AccuLock ACE is designed so that the grip rests against the inner portion of the forearm, stabilizing the hands, arms and shoulders (a method that will remain legal after the anchor ban on Jan. 1, 2016)
