Congrats to Sly J. of Santa Fe, N.M., (yep, that's Sly J. of Santa Fe) for winning an LG wireless headset and an Incipio backup battery last week.
Golf season is upon us, and with it, renewed dreams of becoming the next Phil Mickelson. To help you with that aim, we've got an Arccos Golf "club to cloud" performance-tracking system that delivers real-time data on stats like distances hit, club averages and driving accuracy straight to your iPhone 4S and up.
The system features super lightweight disc-shaped sensors that attach to the end of your club grips to track each club individually. Clubs then pair via Bluetooth with a free app that uses GPS to map your shots to a bird's eye view of the course.
Ready to be a better golfer? Normally, an Arccos Golf system would run you $399, but this one goes for a far lower $0. How do you score it? There are a few rules, so please follow them to a tee (yeah, yeah).
