RoboCup Golf Ball Return Works On Real Putting Greens

RoboCup Golf Ball Return

“You can only improve your game so much by putting into a coffee cup or one of those fancy ball return machines in your office. So the RoboCup is designed to fit inside the hole on an actual putting green, allowing you to practice on the real thing all day long, without ever having to walk over and retrieve your balls. On a set of 4xAA batteries the RoboCup will return over 15,000 putts up to a distance of 14 feet, though that varies depending on the green speed, and there’s even a Caddy Cord accessory for directing missed putts into the hole.

RoboCup will be available (come late April) for $49.95 from the FineTuneGolf website, and the Caddy Cord accessory (aka a piece of heavy rope) is an extra $14.95.”

    The most important thing to be considered while playing golf is, among other things, the players distance from the hole, green, and water hazards. For golfers out there, if you are engaged in bettering your play, continue reading this article and learn more about the latest golf GPS units.

    Golf GPS Units are about more than recognizing distances. Depending on the model employed, some will offer an overview map of each hole, which allows you to preview possible trouble spots that you otherwise might only have known about after playing the hole and having found them the hard way. Knowing this information gives you the ability to opt for your tactic before you play. Some golf GPS units even include satellite imagery of each hole. So, along with providing accurate distances, good GPS devices can help you with strategy and course administration
