I’m not really one for cheesy sports paraphernalia, but there is just enough sass in these golf pint glasses to have me feeling somewhat amused.

Golfers Cup Lets You Drink From Where You Putt
Apparently circular cups are no good for putting practice, as they just roll around when the ball hits them. The golfer’s cup is a simple white ceramic mug with a flat side that will keep it in place to receive your putts. Putting my cup on the floor just sounds nasty to me, but that is quite possibly the product of a ten-year stint in Japan that is still ongoing, and a brief stint in the microwave should clean up any nasties that are picked up from putting practice anyway.
It would make a good present for anyone who really likes their golf.

Radar Golf Ball Location System Makes it Easier to Find Balls, Harder to Cheat
The technology behind RadarGolf is something that they like to call BPS, ball positioning system – the balls and a receiver communicate via RF signals to make for easy location. In theory that should equate to less lost balls, or more importantly less time wasted looking for lost balls.
According to the manufacturer, the transmitter chip is small enough that it does not affect the performance of RadarGolf balls, which meet USGA specs for size, weight, distance, initial velocity and symmetry.
One wonders how well the system will work if it takes off, given that the balls all emit the same signal.
Price: The RadarGolf starter kit, which includes 12 balls, a handheld receiver and two Shield-it pouches costs about $200, extra balls will set you back $40 for a dozen.

DIY: Shield Yourself From Rain With an X-ray Umbrella
The X-ray umbrella designed by Anastacia Spada is a cool project if you are a fragile sort of individual who gets finds him/herself getting blasted with X-rays on a regular basis, because you are going to need 24 large sheets to pull it off.
If you do get a lot of X-rays, or have access to some old X-ray film, then it just might work. Aside from the film, the construction is pretty simple and can be accomplished with a golf umbrella, sewing machine, grommet punch and some clear zip ties. If you are interested, head over to Spada’s website for details. [Crave]

Let’s Golf iPhone App Sadly Does Not Let You Swing Your iPhone Like a Golf Club
I am a sucker for a good phone game and although part of me hoped to seeing Apple fanboys accidentally throwing their Jesus phones like Wii-motes, I somehow knew that the sensible folks at Infinite Loop probably wouldn’t let it happen.
Golf games tend to be fun and the 63 holes provided by Let’s Golf ought to be enough for a little work-time entertainment. The multi-player over Wi-Fi option sounds like far too much fun. As for swinging, that is accomplished with finger movements.
Price: $5.99 [Crave]
