With golf season in mid-swing, is your handicap going down, or just your morale? If it’s the latter, a few extra lessons might be in order. Given that I write for Engadget (and not Golf Digest) I can’t school you, but I can help you with some technology tips. There’s a glut of golf devices designed to help you score better, and I tested swing sensors from Zepp Golf and 3Bays, along with the presidentially-approved Game Golf shot-tracking system. For good measure, I also tried a Pebble watch with the Golf Pad GPS and scoring system — and even a pair of shoes from Ogio, better known for laptop bags. So, how’d it go? Pretty good, actually — you’ll probably still want those lessons, but these gadgets can get you going in the right direction. Also, and perhaps most importantly, they’re kind of fun, too.
