Thanks to modern technology, you can tee off with heightened accuracy. Statistics and graphs, as well as pro tips, are all at your fingertips — and even on your wrist! No, smart watches aren’t just for Apple. Meet the GARMIN Golf Watch (pictured: Approach S42 Rose Gold with Light Sand Band; $299 at garmin.com), which goes beyond GARMIN’s famed GPS, and is designed to lower your score without sacrificing style, comfort or convenience. Sun-resistant with up to 15 hours of bright GPS-activated battery life and a full-color touchscreen, this watch can show you where to position the pin, and then track where it’s landed, using AutoShot detection. You can also improve your game using stats and data pre-loaded from over 42,000 other pre-ran courses. And if you like it so much, you can even make this your everyday watch, as it receives smart notifications, counts your steps, among other amenities. 

If smart watches aren’t your cup of tee, then check out Golfzon’s TwoVision, or one of their other simulator packages (packages start at $48,500+ at golfzongolf.com). Reputed to be the world’s most advanced simulator company, TwoVision is the most recent addition to their sleek line of simulators, featuring high-speed sensors for club head stats and ball flight, as well as divot-sensing tech, and a 24-way directional moving swing plate. Graphics are sleeker than prior generations (130% improvement, mind you), with a virtual caddie full of green tips, as well as an auto-tee and ball retrieval system. Able to reenact real-life course situations, this is the Rolls Royce of golf simulators. 

And finally, not all tech advances need to be digital, some can be design technical. CLEVELAND GOLF (clevelandgolf.com) presents its CBX ZipCore wedges, a third generation that piggybacks on the success of their earlier generations, delivering the perfect blend of forgiveness and versatility. If you play with cavity back irons, you’ll likely want to give these — and only these — babies a swing.
