Congrats to Anna B. of Levittown, Pa., for winning a 13-CD set of Beatles albums in last week's giveaway. The 2014 Masters tournament, which tees off next week, might inspire you to improve your own golf game. This week's prize can help.

We've got a SwingSmart Duo from NewSpin Golf. The system includes a lightweight Bluetooth-enabled sensor that attaches to your golf club and wirelessly delivers real-time stats, such as tempo, face angle, shaft lean, and swing speed, to your smartphone or tablet.
