The game of golf hasn’t changed much over the years. You hit the ball. You find the ball. You put the ball in the cup. You repeat. Rover is changing the experience with an autonomous, robotic, hands-free caddie that follows you around the course. In addition to carrying your clubs, the golf caddie robot also has a personal cooler, drink holders, a divot bottle, USB-ports for phone charging and a tablet with GPS that gives you an accurate range to the hole. You lose the fun and mobility of the golf cart, but walking is better for you and your game, and the Rover also speeds up rounds. There are a number of courses all across the United States currently equipped with Rover: Torrey Pines Golf Club,Plymouth Country Club, Druid Hills Country Club, The Cliffs at Walnut Cove and Westwood Country Club just to name a few. As if having a personal golf robot wasn’t enough, $1 from every single rental goes directly to The First Tee or LPGA Girls Golf charities.

Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
