Japanese Putting Bra Lets You Golf Into Lingerie [Japan]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on November 11th, 2009
Sometimes, you just want to practice your putting. If you're near a woman wearing Triumph's new golf outfit, and you can convince her to take it off, you can putt to your heart's content.
Yes, this ludicrous item consists of a green bra that transforms into a putting green, with the cups turning into holes. Sink a putt, and a speaker says "Nice shot!" There's also a skirt that turns into a flag that says "Be Quiet" on it, for keeping onlookers hushed while you golf next to a naked woman.
What I like about the whole getup is how practical it is. [Pink Tentacle via Tokyo Mango]

Pro Golfer Advertising with LCD-Loaded Bag [LCDs]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on September 17th, 2009
It's a marketing ploy that may quickly spiral into Rodney Dangerfield's legacy.
Pro Bag Ads is a company installing sun-resistant HD LCD displays into the bags of pro golfers. These LCDs then play advertisements for companies like "19th Hole Wines" during tournaments—we assume without sound—while the caddies enjoy the extra heft of a TV and batters on a midsummer day.
So far, they've only signed up one guy, 2009 Senior PGA Champion Michael Allen. The chief flaw, beyond the general tackiness, can be seen in the lead shot. Stitched logos appear brighter than that screen.
Oh, and when Tiger misses his first put because a Cialis ad enters his periphery, trust me, these guys are finished. [Pro Bag Ads via gizmo watch via DVICE]

Shot-Online Players Take Things Offline To Compete Face-to-Face For a Chance To Win Thousands in Cash Prizes-North American Preliminary Begins August 20thSan Jose-based online game publisher, Gamescampus.com (www.gamescampus.com, run by OnNet USA), announced today the upcoming dates for the North American preliminaries and the results of the European preliminaries in the World Championship for its golf game, Shot-Online.
Shot-Online has once again been chosen as an official game of 2009 GNGWC (Game and Game World Championship). The tournament is a unique opportunity for Shot-Online players to take their online golfing experience offline, giving them a chance to compete face-to-face with their fellow Shot-Online players across the world. Gamescampus and GNGWC are offering thousands in cash prizes, with the best Shot-Online players also winning a trip to Korea for the final.
The GNGWC qualifying event For North American Shot-Online gamers will take place August 20th through August 26th. The winners at that preliminary will then move on to the regional final which occur in mid-September. The North American regional winners will join winners from Korea, Japan, Europe and South America at the finals in Korea in November where they will compete for $5,000 USD in cash prizes.
The European preliminaries and regional finals were held in Germany with more than 500 players competing in Shot-Online. In the regional final held at the Leipzig games convention on July 31. four finalists from the European region were selected: Silver, Mitschel, Maddy_02 and Godewind (their in-game IDs). Matthias Bohm, the 3rd place winner said "I am very happy about being one of the top 4 winners. But the best part of the tournament was that I could meet many other players through the game."
"We saw a great response from our European gamers who came out to compete in the preliminary. There are some very talented golfers in our community," said Tony Liu, Producer of Shot Online at Gamescampus.com. "Since North America is by far our biggest market, we expect an even bigger turnout and we are excited for the competition to begin!"
The GNGWC is hosted by KIPA (the Korean SW Industry Promotion Agency) and sponsored by the Korean Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
Shot-Online has been a part of the annual tournament since its inception. Multiple countries will take place in the tournament; including Europe, North America, South America, Korea and Japan. Each will hold local contests with the final global match being held in Korea this November where 16 lucky finalists will compete for the grand prize.

Upcoming Rugged Nokia Versus a Golf Club [Nokia]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on July 6th, 2009
Nokias have had some trouble with earlier waterproof tests, but according to these videos an upcoming Nokia rugged phone is able to maintain a phone call through a chip shot and a rugby boot.
To be honest, we have seen other phones endure quite a bit more punishment—and we weren't impressed with the N97 overall anyway. But this new phone? It's definitely more sturdy, whatever it is. [Nokia Conversations via Electricpig]
