Innov GolfInnov Golf Ltd. has developed a revolutionary system to provide golfers with protection against injury or death from lightning strikes while in their golf carts. While playing, golfers are generally exposed to open areas with scattered trees. During thunderstorms, this becomes a particularly dangerous situation, especially with metal clubs and carts nearby. The Innov Golf system, born out of a research project at the University of Manchester, Institute for Science & Technology (UMIST) in the UK, has developed a golf cart for a safer way to play. Currently, Innov Golf holds UK and US patents for the system and seeks partners to help bring their invention to market. Interested persons should contact mike@innovgolf.com

Provoto Putting System The Provoto System will work for right or left handed golfers. Another great add on feature is the arched Putting Channel and laser line. These two additions work great to help with lining-up your putts and practicing straight putts. Even the slightest push or pull won’t exit the putting channel. To help lower your scores, give the Provoto Advantage System a try. It’s portable! The whole unit folds in half and fits into a large fitted travel bag that comes with the putting green.
