Hole a putt and it spits it right back at you!
How many hours have you spent on the practice putting green perfecting your stroke then intermittently having to walk forward and reach down to retrieve balls from the cup? Wouldn't it be great if, like the pros, you had a caddie crouching down returning both the hits and the misses so you don't break your rhythm? A new device launched at the world's biggest golf trade show - in Orlando, Florida - now enables golfers to do just that. Hole a putt and it pops right back at you; miss one and a Caddy Cord allows you to gather gather those up, too. | |
