    Have a voucher.

    Think I should get myself a new gadget, so maybe a golf one. Anything unusual and different out there?

    Personally Id be treating myself to a top of the range travel case.

    How old are you? Have you got an electric caddy? Keep your energy for swinging, and not pulling the cart.

    How about a range finder to get used to judging distance?

    Maybe a Zippo hand warmer?

    Fancy a cold (or hot) drink on the course? Insulated drink dispenser.

    I'm 41. Have a golf glider, have a zippo, have a GPS (prefer them to range finders) though I have considered getting one as well.

    As for the drinks thing...... Reminded me of the piss club!

    Are both banned for GUI competitions, or only the GPS one?

    Pretty sure there was rules changed a couple of years ago to make them all legal. Most were legal anyway as long as a club had a local rule in place and I think nearly every club in Ireland had!

    What about that ping gadget that you attach to your putter staft that lets you put your phone in it and you get all sorts of interesting readings about your stroke.

    Cool. I know a while back some courses allowed it, and some didn't, which caused confusion on match days.

    Anyhoo's, have a look at https://www.gamegolf.com/products/en-ca/gamegolf?v=8556c71

    My father had the classic version, and used it to track his shots. Don't think they sell it anymore, but I see that there's a new version coming out?

    Ok, figured I should report on my situation. Decided on a rangefinder.
    But I acquired a rather nice Bushnell one without having to shell out a dime. :D
    So I bought a drone with it when I was on holidays!

    now I just need to get out on course and play with my new toys :) Haven't hit a ball in over a month :(
