Here’s a fun arcade game simulating drives off the tee on reachable holes, it’s called Driving Mad. You’re presented with challenges like "Get 4 balls on the green in 60 seconds". You choose the power and direction, taking into account wind direction and speed as well as hazards. Hitting into a hazard subtracts chunks of time from the clock. After you get the hang of the interface, it’s actually fun. After completing the mission, you advance to another hole with ever greater challenges.

Don’t Run To the Woods For Relief, Use UroClub

UroClub

Uroclub is an accessory for your bag that looks like a club but is designed by a practicing uroligist to allow golfers to, ahem, relieve themselves on the course without exposing one’s self. It’ll gives you the self assurance to stay on the course, both in the front and back nine!

This $49.99 accessory is designed to resemble a 7 iron and it comes with the privacy shield (aka ‘towel’) so for all intents and purposes the group in front or behind you may not realize you’re emptying your bladder. Instead it’ll have the appearance of inspecting your club or taking a practice swing if you think you can hold it in there while swinging away.

The twist-on cap’s seal better be tight to keep it from draining when you put it back in the bag with your real clubs.

Here’s the TV advert:
