The thing about the glasses is, I wear glasses, not contact lenses. There is one blue set of glasses that looks like something the eye doctor would give you after putting drops in your eyes. It's meant to go over regular glasses.

I wondered if it would be helpful to have a set of those and if a ball became lost, be able to just pull them out and use them for the sake of the search.

And Garfield is sitting by the door looking to go outside and play tomorrow afternoon.

The Skycaddie is a great product. I have played a few rounds with an Sg4 and was impressed. The Sonocaddie is another great golf gps.
The sunglasses that I wear on the course are the ones made by Callaway with the Neox lens. They are pretty awesome and nothing I have found comes close to them.

OK, I get it. Y'know, I've seen those things down in FL. They use a smaller version to hitch up teams of palmetto bugs to pull stuck golf carts out of the mud...

carabiner...

Is THAT what it's called??? It's a loop of steel with a little part of it that is spring loaded and opens or closes against that spring pressure. I've seen people use them for keyrings and such. It came with a tube of sunscreen so that idiots like me might hang it on their bag IN SIGHT, so that it might get used.

Talk about common sense... the tube of sunscreen has a top on it that comes off in a way that you can refill it. You might not refill it with THEIR brand, but I think it says something for their sincere feelings that we should use sunscreen.

I am still hoping the company who sponsored Fore Inventors Only will have the gadget that won in stock soon. If you don't remember or didn't see the show, it was a simple clip to stand up a club instead of leaving it on the ground to get the grip wet. I really want one and since we have started playing earlier in the morning, now I really NEED one.

Just FYI, a piton is a nail-like thing that is driven into a crack in the rock to hook a carabiner and rope into...

Sort of like what we call in Miami, a coat hook!

I bought a pair of the blue glasses on ebay. They should be here later this week. With those things on, I'm going to look like a super hero - "BALLFINDER" TO THE RESCUE !!!!!!!!

What exactly is the purpose of drawing a line on your ball?

Fourputt

Some people think that a 1.5" line on the ball will make them hit a more accurate putt from 40 feet away. It may help somewhat in a mental sense by making them feel more confident, but physically it isn't enough of a guide to be a real factor. If you misalign that mark by 1/32 (.03125") of an inch, then at 40 feet you would be off by almost a foot, assuming that you were perfectly lined up with the mark. And that is assuming that your read on the putt was right in the first place. It's even difficult to align a longer sight line than that accurately at that distance... ask anyone who has done target shooting with a handgun. And a pistol has sights that are manufactured to be more accurate than a line drawn on a golf ball.

To each his own, but I've never seen any advantage to it, and I have tried it. Just doesn't make any difference in my putting. I'm a pretty decent putter, and don't set my ball down in any particular way.

I'm new to golf so it may not make as much since to me as some. Maybe I'll figure that out as time goes on. But a line on my golf ball will in no way effect the outcome of my putting.
