       It's probably early for this, since the leaves are still on the
       trees, but the Hammacher Schlemmer & Co. Christmas Catalog
       advertises the following golf equipment (I'm not making this up):

           THE SCHMECKENBECKER PUTTER -- This standard-size golf
           putter comes equipped for every occasion.  A built-in
           compass helps you find your way out of the rough;
           a candle illuminates the 18th hole after dark; a rabbit's
           foot gives you luck; a level helps you read greens;
           a 40-inch tape measure eliminates arguments over "gimme"
           putts; and an air horn commands silence or speeds
           up slow golfers.  Has nonslip rubber handgrip and
           4-inch head.

    Mr. T can they do the same thing with a driver?  Possibly adding
    a seeing eye dog for those errant shots.
