A few times a month we dish out some of the best deals in golf, specially curated for our readers. This time we thought we’d branch out from the norm and work on a list of things that might help you continue to safely socially distance and stay at home. Some are golf related, some are pandemic inspired. All of them are things golfers (and non-golf regular people) are buying during the pandemic and we’ve gathered them for you here.
The 16 Best Products Golfers Didn’t Know They Need in Quarantine

This one lasts beyond quarantine, but you can use a personal launch monitor to dial-in your game with data. Come out of quarantine and smoke all of your friends on the course.
$499.99
15. Roomba
If your housekeeper can’t break quarantine to scrub your house with a nice human touch, consider hiring a robot.

4 months agoCool, more expensive toys. In these economic times, for many people, a number of these things on the list are almost insulting.
I will definitely buy hitting net this winter for my garage, that can be handy. A personal launch monitor? My driving range has top tracer in each stall, free with a bucket of balls.
Folks, running out of topics to write about?

4 months agoI have to say, even though I live across the street from the golf course I’m a member with, when you get home after dark (winter here in Australia), quick setup of the Spornia hitting net has kept my game on point for weekend comps.
