Bushnell Pro XE rangefinder set
The Skechers GO GOLF Elites are reasonably good-looking, albeit modestly styled, shoes that are also reasonably priced at $100. Relatively lightweight and waterproof, but we would have preferred a bit more padding (or perhaps some more flexibility right out of the box), as our dogs were pretty tired after the initial test round.

Boy this watch looks familiar...where have I seen this design before...hmmm. Anywho, the Garmin Approach S20 offers a reasonably priced golf watch with yardages to greens (front-middle-back, along with ability to place flagsticks), hazards, and other targets such as layups and doglegs. Garmin's new AutoShot feature captures the location and distance of each shot automagically, then uploads data for post-round analysis, including map overlay. Paired with the Garmin TruSwing sensor, the device can provide more in-depth swing analysis. Read on for more details about the Garmin Approach S20 golf watch.

Longtime GPS player TomTom enters the golf GPS world with the TomTom Golfer golf GPS watch. There are some nice elements, including an excellent user interface and the ability to update courses via Bluetooth from your mobile device. But the presentation of hazards is seriously flawed, impacting our enthusiasm for the device. TomTom has promised a software update to improve the hazard feature, but until that actually comes to fruition, we can only provide a polite golf clap for the Golfer.

The FJ SuperLites CT provide an athletic look in an extremely lightweight package. At a mere 1.15 pounds, these are the lightest spikeless golf shoes that we’ve tested. The SuperLites CT are comfortable, breathe well, and at their reasonable price point ($115 MSRP), have emerged as one of our favorites among athletic-style spikeless golf shoes. The one caveat is that they are not waterproof, so depending on the climate in which you play, they may or may not be feasible. Retail price: $115 Amazon.com: Check price now

The SkyCaddie LINX adds the full richness of SkyGolf's hazard, layup and target information and its green maps to a watch device. The LINX also adds Bluetooth, enabling you to connect to SkyGolf's free mobile app to update course maps on the fly. We love all of the distance information - the cost to obtain the good data, the thickness of the watch, and the setup process, not so much. Read more in our detailed SkyCaddie LINX watch review.

With the U.S. Open slated for Erin Hills in 2017, how could we pass up the chance to take an up-close look? The course is an hour northwest of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with the 11-room Lodge situated on the same 650 acre property, just steps away from the range and the first tee. Those traveling as a group and looking for more privacy may want to check out the villas, located next to the Lodge. Check out our detailed Erin Hills review!

Bag Boy takes a step back from the trend toward four-wheeled carts and instead introduces the TriSwivel, a three-wheeler with a pivoting front wheel. We were dubious at the outset, but the ease with which the TriSwivel can be maneuvered around the course was a revelation. You don’t really realize how taxing it is on your back and shoulders to constantly pop up a golf push cart’s front wheel for course corrections until you don’t need to do it anymore! Add in some thoughtful design elements, reasonable storage space, and solid construction, and you’ve got one of our new favorites in the golf push cart world. Read on for our full review of the Bag Boy TriSwivel. Retail price: $269.95 Availability: No longer available, replaced by the Bag Boy Triswivel II,which is essentially the same as the original version Amazon.com: Check price now
