Simulators, launch monitors, rangefinders, apps and training aids that actually help.
Behind every well-kept golf course is a greenkeeping team using more technology than most golfers realise. Soil sensors tell them exactly how much water greens need, GPS guides sprayers, drones spot…
Weather shapes every round of golf. Wind changes club selection, rain softens courses, heat drains energy and lightning is a serious danger. Modern forecasts and radar apps give golfers far more…

Watch any long hitter and you'll notice how they seem to push off the ground. Force plates, platforms that measure the forces your feet apply, have shown that the ground is a key source of power in…
Electric trolleys have been around for decades, but the latest models go a step further: you can steer them with a remote control, or they follow you around the course automatically. They let you…
