That’s the idea of this system, which lets you work on your swing or entertain the whole family with fun games. The system consists of a projector, screen, and enclosure that can be quickly assembled, or disassembled to bring it to a new home.

Snug as a Bug

Classic Accessories Fairway Golf Cart Seat Blanket

$38.95, ClassicAccessories.com

Nothing is as jarring as sitting on a chilly vinyl seat on a cold day, making this blanket a must-have. The quilted top is paired with plush fleece backing to provide warmth and comfort during cold weather, while the wipe-clean, water-resistant material protects seats from stains and spills. It does double duty as a lap blanket, and in the summer, it will keep legs from being scorched by hot seats.

Go the Distance

Callaway Supersoft Golf Balls

$24.99, CallawayGolf.com

Air density increases as air temperatures drop, meaning a golf ball won’t travel as far in cold weather when compared to warm conditions. To get that distance back, many pros suggest low-compression Callaway Supersoft golf balls. They’re renowned for delivering exceptional distance, feel, and control.  The durable shell is crafted of Dow plastic Paraloid, to help eliminate “cover cut” score marks that can ruin aerodynamics.
