NEO – First look at Bushnell’s pocket GPS

Once again, due to snow I can’t get out on the course today. The next time I do hit the links, I plan on taking my first test drive with the new Bushnell “neo” (yes, all lower case) pocket golf GPS.

Bushnell neo golf GPS - haven't put it in play yet, but it is already in my list of top new cool golf gadgets for 2011! Click for more images...

This thing is smaller than my Canon camera, which I always carry with me in my pocket. The rounded corners are nice when it is in the pocket. The unit comes with a belt mount too.

The unit does NOT require a subscription or fee to use either, which is nice.

Tiger out of Charlotte

Tiger Woods announced today that he’ll miss the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, North Carolina. The tournament is scheduled for May 5-8.

Woods injured his left knee hitting that tough shot from the pine straw under the Eisenhower Pine at the Masters a few weeks ago.

“I personally contacted tournament officials and expressed my regret in not being able to play. This is an outstanding event, but I must follow doctors’ orders to get better.” ~Tiger Woods

The injuries include a grade 1 mild medial collateral ligament sprain in the left knee and a mild strain the left Achilles tendon. Woods will rest the injuries, undergo cold water therapy and soft tissue treatment. There is no definite date scheduled for Tiger’s return, quoted to be in “a few weeks.”

Weather here not cooperating. Need global warming now. Where’s the hope and change?

I’m getting a bit frustrated with the bad weather here. The high today is slated to be 42 and it is currently snowing. It hailed last night. If April showers bring May flowers, what does April snow bring?

So my game is still not happening much unfortunately. I’ve only logged nine holes in the last 1.5 weeks, and that was during very cold and muddy conditions.

The bad weather is also creating quite a backlog of product reviews. I apologize to those who have sent in gear to test, but when there’s snow on the ground it is tough to test out the latest irons, drivers, putters, golf balls, golf gadgets or GPS devices!

Hang with me and hopefully the weather will turn for the better soon.
