1. Speaqua – The Barnacle Pro Golf
Swing in rhythm to your favorite music! The Speaqua brand was created to help people bring more music to more places–including the golf course.

Two Barnacle Pro speakers can be linked for portable surround sound. A great way to keep your game loose, but your tunes strong. Price: $69.99 https://speaqua.com/collections/speakers/products/golf
2. Precision Pro Golf: R1 Smart Rangefinder
While the GPS units on the golf carts at TPC Danzante Bay are excellent, discerning purists can benefit from the R1 Smart Rangefinder, which features advanced MYSLOPE technology. The personalized slope calculation creates an adjusted distance specific to a player and the environment. MYSLOPE combines a player’s ball data — launch angle, ball speed, spin rate — with environmental variables such as temperature, altitude and humidity — to provide unique yardage readings specific to every player and shot. Ideal for low-handicappers. Price: $319. Precision Pro Golf’s NX Slope Rangefinder, currently on sale for 239.99, also has adaptive slope features. https://www.precisionprogolf.com/compare/
