Here’s a quick and fun video from the 2013 PGA Merchandise Show. This one is the Ogio X4 Synergy golf push cart. Before you comment that the cart looks too big when folded, this is a setup designed for golfers who want to leave the golf bag on the cart when folding it up rather than having to take the clubs off.

Thanks to my very close friends at Golf Channel for the cool gift. Signed, James…

I got a neat gift in the mail from Golf Channel this week. It is a promotional goodie basket for their newly re-vamped Morning Drive show. Love the coffee mug and the wife and I are going to have an arm wrestle to see who gets the jammy pants. For those who know my lady, you know I might not win that one. Also inside is a neat alarm clock with the morning drive logo.

The best part though was the nice note.

Thanks to my very close friends at TGC!

Signed, James…

Since 2007 I’ve been visiting the Frogger Golf booth at the PGA Merchandise Show. Over the years I’ve put many of the great Frogger products into my bag. Their BrushPro is still my favorite golf accessory of all time. Most useful without a doubt.

In this video we look at the new Frogger products for 2013:

Swing Hero training aid
Arc Angel putting aid
Golf Cart Poncho – portable/light cart cover

Cool And Convenient Golf Invention Reduces Practice Green Wear And Tear: Push N Putt

I’m rolling out my videos and posts one day at a time from the 2013 PGA Merchandise Show. That way each one gets some good air time, rather than posting 100 of them at once.

Today’s feature is the Push N Putt. This is a cool invention I found in the Inventor’s Area. The Push N Putt is for practice greens and allows the player to push the top of the mini-flagstick to get the golf balls out of the hole. Saves on wear and tear of the practice green. Very neat!
