To celebrate that Tiger won today, (congrats Tiger) here’s top 10 best golf gadgets:

10. At number 10, the Golf Simulator is a must for your fat wallet. When I have enough money, I am gettin’ one of these in my gigantic garage.

9. The golf ball mouse and mousepad are pretty good sign you are a golf addict.

8. Of course, golf doesn’t always cost a lot of money. With little creativity, you can create your own golf hole for putting in your house using a single Pringles box.

7. Yes, you can get theese autonomous golf cart robots, a lot better than carrying your clubs or pushing that ol’ golf cart around. Then again, you can “jump” over stuff with these things…

6. The RC golf ball is a great gadget for playing tricks on your partners when you play for some serious money.

5. Windproof Umbrella is a great umbrella for those windy courses where winds can reach up to 30-50MPH.

4. Golden Tee Golf is a classic golf game you must have regardless of how many great Wii golf games you have.

3. Heart rate monitor watch is a must if you are serious about monitoring your heart rates during intense competition.

2. Pop that putt out of there and get your money on your next putting bets.

1. Of course, you can’t miss out on making one of these golf club POVs I invented couple years back.

Well, I am a scratch golfer and do not like to use any golf carts since I am old-school, but here’s an autonomous golf cart that’s better than the existing electric carts on the market.

Yet another job for pimply 16-year-olds has been rendered obsolete with technology, now that golfers can use the Shadow Caddy—a fully autonomous golf club carrying cart that trails behind you automatically. The three-wheeled cart works by following a signal from a transmitter worn on the golfer’s body. Switching the caddy’s setting from “Follow-Me” to “Park” makes sure it never accidentally follows you into a bunker or onto the green.

Remember my post on how to make a DC Welder powered by a golf cart? Well, these guys must be golfers and must own a golf course. (or at least work at a golf course.)

Now, they figured out a way to power their batteries with a big solar panel on top of the golf cart. Now the question is, can you still drive the golf cart? This might actually be a lot more practical if they could make the golf cart solar powered.

These panels charge the cart at about 3 amps. Welding or driving draws up to 150 amps, but only in short bursts.
To my surprise I have to disconnect the panel after a day or two to keep from overcharging the pack. I probably only charge one day a week. I better add an inverter so I can power my office and other tools from this thing.

Warning:
This thing is so damn cool you’ll smile too much and hurt your face.
I probably should have put the cover back over the batteries before he started welding, cuz batteries can make hydrogen which can go pop.
You’re smart kids, you can figure out other safety warnings for this thing.

Here’s a cool way you can make a DC welder powered by a golf cart!  Of course, you don’t have to use a golf cart but it is creative the way this guy did it.

Here’s the simplest welder you can make.
It’s just a pair of jumper cables and a welding rod.
Oh yeah. And some batteries to power it.
I happened to have some nice juicy batteries in the form of a Golf Cart.

Here’s me welding a trailer hitch with 1/8″ 6011 rods. Welding current peaks at around 140-150 amps with these rods and around 120 amps with 3/32 6013 rods according to a Fluke 1010 clamp probe.
