GolfBuzz is an online golfing community with some added perks. There's the usual things like member reviews of golf courses, lists of golf courses in your area or maybe where your going on vacation, and a forum section to discuss the game, swap stories, or whatever. One of the nice things is that as a member, it will also keep track of your game, get you personalized directions to a course, and et you find other players around your skill set to play a round or two, and even blog about your golfing adventures. It's free to join, though it doesn't really say up front if there are any fees for some of the better perks. You can find the site HERE.

The new Suunto G6 has been created to help golfers with getting the perfect swing. After each swing of a club, they watch records the tempo, rhythm, backswing length and speed. This feedback helps identify the best shots, helping to identify what you need to work n, and thereby developing muscle memory to repeat only the good shots. After each round of golf, the players can analyze their overall consistency.
To further help out your golf game, the watch also memorizes information such as scores and handicaps. After the round you can then analyze your game with Suunto Golf Manager PC software to identify the areas that need improvement.
Finally, the watch also does all of the usual features such as the time, date, alarm, and a stopwatch.
You can get all the details at the Suunto site HERE.

The great people over at ProductDose have an article on the SkyCaddie G4. The idea is pretty simple, instead of street maps and all of that, it comes loaded with maps golf courses. Once you get to your ball (or find your ball which is usually the case when I play), the SkyCaddie will tell you how far to the pin you are, and more importantly, if there might be water or bunkers between you and the green.
A great added feature to the unit is that you can also map the course yourself, in case you're playing on a local course that's not already loaded. Once you've mapped the course, you can upload it to the SkyCaddie site for other to download, and also download courses mapped out by others.
The unit has a 160×120 monochrome screen, 12 hours of battery life, and is water resistant.

It also has a specially designed practice course with a visual feedback system to help pinpoint your weaknesses and strengths. Finally, it has 18 different modes of play, including such things as a skins game, alternate shot, and a Ryder cup format.
