Who’s Your Buddy?
We all like playing golf with our buddies it makes the game more fun and fulfilling. Here is one golf buddy that will help make golf more fun and it will never laugh when you shank a chip shot across the green.
To Start With
If you are always looking for a product that you didn’t know you needed here it is “Putter Buddy”. Nothing can make your first putt of the day your worst putt of the day quicker than a wet sand covered putter grip. The easy to use Putter Buddy will end the days of the wet grip.
What is it?
Putter Buddy is simple to use device to lean your golf clubs on keeping them off of the ground. To use the Putter Buddy you just push the end into the ground next to the green and lean you club against the protective plastic tubing that simple. The putter grip stays off of the ground as you make your chip shot. The attached micro fiber towel can be used to clean you ball and clubface.
The Colorful Putter Buddy
And
The Putter Buddy is easily hanged over the side of the golf bag allowing easy access when you need it. With the Putter Buddy hooked on the golf bag the towel can be use throughout the round. Putter Buddy is available in many colors so you can find the perfect color to match your style.
The Putter Buddy in the Bag
Cheaper than a new Pitching Wedge
Putter Buddy is like buying lost golf club insurance. If you’ve ever left a $135 wedge at on the backside of a green then you need a Putter Buddy. You will never walk off the green without seeing your wedge and Putter Buddy standing green side.
Wedges and the Putter Buddy
It’s also a Putting Trainer
Putter Buddy can also be easily used to help you train your putting stroke, making it twice the device at half the price.
As a Gift or Tournament Prize
It may sound cliché but I can say as a golfer who is particular about golf gifts, the Putter Buddy will make the perfect gift for golfers of any age or skill level. They also make unique and affordable door prizes for your next golf tournament.
THE BUDDY YOU CAN LEAN ON
To Sum It Up
The Putter Buddy is awesome and easy to use at a great price. I’ll continue to carry the Putter Buddy in my bag to use on the course and at practice. The negative I can find about the Putter Buddy is that I didn’t come up with the idea myself.

MawGrip
The MawGrip Case
One of my favorite things in golf is th 7:00 a.m. tee time when the course is silent, still, and covered with morning dew. That is until my putter grip gets cover with condensation and wet sand from laying it down at the first green. Well the MawGrip golf grip cover can help make that dew soaked golf course more fun by keep your grips clean and dry.
The MawGrip is a golf club grip cover that simply slips onto the grip end of the golf clubs to protect them from being exposed to wet grass, sand, and even rain while you play. The cover clips on the golf bag for easy access. Made from top quality materials and substantial stitching, the MawGrip case is will made and designed to last. The cover is available in four colors, giving you options to match your bag for a professional look. Two sizes are offered, the MawGrip fits all of the clubs in your bag and the “Biggy” fit the ever popular oversized putter grip perfectly.
The Bottom Line
You want find an easier to use golf club grip cover on the market. I believe the MawGrip case to be one of the most useful golf accessories that I have ever used. Give it a try for yourself.

Garmin Approach S2 GPS Golf Watch
What the Golf Ball Guy Says About It
All this time I have been look for marked sprinkler heads, yardage makers, and sketching out notes to find my distance to the green, enter the Garmin Approach S2 GPS golf watch.
A number of the weekend golfers that I have talked to about using a GPS device say the high price out ways the benefit, unlike that new driver they buy every other year. These guys are happy checking the yardage makers and pacing off the distance to their ball. For me, I love the idea of using a satellite orbiting the earth to help me play better golf. “So you have a $400 driver and a $5 golf well I’m using a $2 million a day satellite” (insert laughter here).
More Than 39,000 International Courses with Free Course Updates
The Approach S2 comes with over 39,000 courses worldwide preloaded and includes free lifetime course updates that are added up to 4 times a year and are available via Garmin’s “CourseView” updater. I was in The Woodlands, Texas to for a round of golf with a good buddy and when I started the S2 it lite up like a Christmas tree with all of the course in that area. Spring Valley Golf Course, a nine hole in Spring, Texas, is the only course I have played that was not available but it isn’t on any app that I have used.
Yardage to the Front, Back, and Middle of Green
Golf GPS smartphone applications are a dime a dozen these days but the even the best of them have way to much going on to be helpful on the golf course, besides that my phone is for taking pictures and posting to Facebook so my friends will know I have a life. The Approach S2 has no need for an internet connection, it doesn’t send emails to your golf buddies it just simply gives you an accurate distance to the center, front edge, and back edge of the green. The Garmin Approach S2 has got be the easiest golf gadget to use all you have to pick the course you are playing from the list, step up on the first tee, look the large number on the display and there is the distance to the hole. With a high-sensitivity GPS receiver precise yardage to the green, to measure shot distances, a course odometer, layup distance, and dogleg distances. “Whether you’re on a course near home, a course at a holiday resort or the Old Course at St. Andrews, the S2 knows where you are and how far you have to go.”
Save Strokes and Pace of Play
Any time you know the distance to the green you will make a better club and shot selection because saving a few strokes per can change your whole outlook on life. The S2 GPS watch gives me the right yardage with just a quick glance at the large readout allowing time to visualize my shot without the hassle of using traditional out of date markers. Accurate distance leads to accurate shot selection, accurate club selection, and lower score. This thing not only saves me strokes but it save me golfing time, about 20 minutes per round even more on course that I never played before. How often do you find yourself looking at the score card, yardage markers, and sprinkler heads to find distances? I never have to spend my time finding yardages, just enjoying the next shot.
Digital Scorecard
The scorecard is a simple feature to help track you round. I prefer to use a score card and only use this function on occasion. Approach S2 helps you track of your score then download, store and print scorecards of your rounds. The included USB cable connects the Garmin S2 to a computer giving the user the option to chart your progress, or even brag to your friends.

To Sum it Up
I found the Garmin Approach S2 to be a comfortable and stylish GPS golf watch that did not bother with me during my golf swing like a big watch tends to do. The unit is very light weight and stable during the day. The LED readout on the Garmin Approach S2 has large text I can even read it without my glasses. The S2 gets high marks for simplicity of use and the entry level price.
