Next up for our week long dedication of gadgets for Father’s Day we have a golf related item. The iGolf GPS Caddie helps dad improve his game. Sure the iGolf Caddie won’t lug the clubs around, but who walks the course anyway when you are allowed to drink and drive on the golf course (by the way, golf carts can tip over…)!

The iGolf Caddie helps improve your game by automatically telling dad the distance to the front, center and back of the green while listing hazards such as sand traps and water hazards using GPS.

The iGolf Caddie won’t help your shanks, but if dad is a pretty good golfer… he’d love this.
