![]() Don’t you love the hole fly-overs seen during telecasts of professional golf tournaments? With them are TV graphics indicating yardages from the tee, fairway, bunkers and hazards. Now imagine having such visuals at hand as you contemplate your next shot on an unfamiliar course. The new uPro, an electronic distance-measuring device from uPlay, provides such specifics with sharp color imagery, detailed course layouts, video flyovers and aerial views of golf holes. The handheld GPS-oriented device has such superior quality in its high-resolution screen and user-friendliness that it’s invoking comparisons to the Apple iPhone. To see how uPro works and for device and course download pricing, visit uplaytech.com, or call (888) 850-0950 to find a dealer near you. See what you’re missing with The Golf Ring The Golf Ring is designed to build visual confidence in chipping and putting by taking the emphasis off getting the ball in the hole, instead focusing on getting the ball into a six-foot ring. The Golf Ring’s material doesn’t impede the roll of the ball and it folds down to 18 inches when you’re done practicing. There’s also an 18-inch Spot Ring that enhances your chipping by giving you a target on the green to land the ball. The Golf Ring sells for $30 and is available at TheGolfRing.com. Short Game Bullseye hits the mark The Short Game Bullseye has a three-colored, three-ring system that teaches distance control and comes with a trajectory target to help you control short shots. By learning how to get the right trajectory, you usually get the right distance. The Short Game Bullseye uses traffic light colors: red, yellow and green. Quickly, you’ll learn that a chip shot will roll farther after a green trajectory shot, less on a yellow trajectory shot and minimally on a red trajectory shot. Then, it’s just a matter of practicing. The Short Game Bullseye sells for $90 and is available at ShortGameBullseye.com. — Eric Tracy |
