BAG BOY // VOLT ELECTRIC CART
Bag Boy ’ s best-in-class Volt electric cart is a motorized pushcart that lets you easily transport your bag and clubs around the course via remote control . That lets you stay fresh and energized , so you can take healthy swings at the ball without getting tired . While many models like this are kind of heavy and difficult to move in and out of a car trunk , this one is not . It weighs just 28.6 pounds and can fold in just two steps compactly to 29 " x 16.5 " x 14.5 ". Plus , its powerful battery lasts up to 36 holes on a single charge . You can even send it ahead at a predetermined 5-to-30 yards . All the while , its TrueLine course correction and path recognition software keeps it on-track . An extendable fourth wheel prevents it from falling backward . The cart has nine speed levels and can convert to a manual pushcart whenever needed . Bag Boy is based in the Richmond area . dynamicbrands . com , $ 1,500

NIKON COOLSHOT 20I GIII LASER RANGEFINDER
The first thing you notice about Nikon ’ s Coolshot 20i GIII laser rangefinder is how compact and lightweight it is . It barely tips the scale at 4.6 ounces — about the same as two golf balls . The downside is that it ’ s so light , it can be difficult for shakers to steady the viewfinder , simply because there ’ s no heft to it . You can ’ t help but like it , regardless . It ’ s super-fast at locking in distances which is part of its First Target Priority feature . Plus like many other models , it vibrates ( the company calls it quaking ) once it locks in . You can also set it into slope mode , where it provides the real distance between you and an object , as well as the “ plays like ” distance . It will pick up objects as far away as 800 yards and it ’ s rainproof . nikonusa . com , $ 240 vsga . org M AY / J UNE 2024 | V IRGINIA G OLFER 39
