I get so many useless golf gadgets in for review that it’s a big deal when I receive an actual useful one! Well here’s the big deal, the HandiMagnet. HandiMagnet is a small golf accessory which an incredibly strong magnet on one end, and a multi-function clamp on the other.
Glove/Towel/Paper
The first clamp, seen lower right on the image above, is for gloves, towels, or even papers like scorecards or pin sheets. Simply attach the super magnet to your push cart or golf cart frame, then hang the glove/towel/paper from the other. The accessory airing out and drying sweaty gloves. Take the glove off and hang it on the HandiMagnet while driving the cart or pushing a trolley down the fairway and let the glove air out in the sun and wind.
I’ve used the clamp to hang a pin sheet and have it right up in front of my face on a golf cart. Super convenient.
Cigar Holder
I’ve been known to enjoy a few stogies on the golf course. One pain when golfing is finding a place to put that cigar. With the 2nd mount (middle of first photo above) one can make any metal object an instant cigar holder. Below my 4-iron has been converted from a club that’s hard to hit, to a club that provides me convenient access to my Romeo Y Julieta.
Bonus Function – Club Loft Checker
An old golf trick to help a player understand the launch angle of a club is to stick a golf tee on the face of the club. The tee points to the angle of the shot. A golfer can use that in practice or on the course (against the rules) to see if a shot will clear an obstacle like a tree. Sometimes golfers will use some chewing gum to stick the tee to the club.
A bonus with the HandiMagnet is this unit can be used as an easy loft checker. The magnet is so strong it will not come off even during a full swing. I tried it and couldn’t get it to budge.
Final Thoughts
Father’s Day is coming up quick! HandiMagnet is a super choice for dad, at a mere $13.99. Get one for dad and one for yourself and still have enough money left over to buy a frosty beverage at the cafe after your next round.
The lovely lady and I have been enjoying testing out our pairs of Eagle Eyes Sunglasses for the last couple of months. We’ve been running them through a wide variety of situations and sports. Some of those activities have included golf, skiing, hiking, mountain biking, road cycling, hanging out at the park, working in the yard, and more. The results have been terrific.
About Eagle Eyes
Eagle Eyes sunglasses feature cutting-edge NASA-certified optic technology. They block blue light and 99.9% of harmful solar radiation. Not only do they block harmful ends of the light spectrum, they produce vivid and enjoyable color, contrast, and clarity. Glare is reduced and details, like the contours of the putting green, are enhanced.
The lenses are highly scratch resistant, prolonging the lifespan of the shades.
Frames come in a multitude of materials from alloys to steel, polycarbonate to titanium. The frames are strong, lightweight, stylish, and durable.
Aviators – $49.99
Below the lovely lady is wearing the aviators. They’re super cool and stylish and I dig the reflective blue colored lenses. Memory Flex technology makes the frames super flexible yet resilient.
The teardrop lenses are mounted in a rich stainless steel frame. One day I hope to be cool enough to wear aviators.
Rambler – $79.95
Below I’m sporting the Rambler model; part Elvis (not the fat Elvis), part modern. The gradient lens feature is nice.
The “TriLenium 7” polarized technology makes for great detail on the course and on the slopes, while protecting against UV and blue light. I’ve enjoyed a ton of great spring skiing while sporting the Rambler, as well as golf, hiking and biking. They’re light, comfortable, super cool looking, and durable.
Final Thoughts
If you need some new shades be sure to check out Eagle Eyes. They have numerous offerings, styles, feature sets. They even have computer glasses which block blue light.
I’m a big fan of veterans, and of organizations like Folds of Honor. I’m also a big fan of golf! Here’s a great package from Bushnell Golf which features the new Tour V5 laser rangefinder and an awesome Folds of Honor divot tool, the Tour V5 Patriot Pack.

Quality
I’ve been gaming Bushnell laser rangefinders for years and they’re super accurate. Yardages are delivered quickly and the feature sets are robust.
Magnetic Mount
The side of the unit comes with a powerful magnet which allows the player to mount the laser to a golf cart frame or push cart frame.
Father’s Day
Father’s Day is coming up quick. If you have a father on your list who is also a vet, this would be a fantastic gift. Pricing is around $299 for technology that can be priced above $500.
I’m thrilled to add some new, properly sized rain/weather pants to my now misfit wardrobe. Lose 45-50 pounds and you’ll find none of your clothes fit anymore. Thankfully I’ve got the Galway Bay All-Weather Unlined Pant in for review.
These Pants are made from a breathable stretch fabric that is waterproof and windproof. They’re incredibly comfortable, making these a great choice even when there’s no wind or rain in the forecast. I wore them today in fact. 75 degrees and sunny.
The style of these pants is sharp, clean and classy. They could be worn on the golf course, on the ski slopes, or out on the town.
I’ve got a few more wearings and more testing before writing my final review so stay tuned.
How can today not be awesome? It’s Taco Tuesday AND Cinco de Mayo!
That only happens every 337 years!
