If you're thinking the colder winter weather means your clubs have to go in the garage until spring, don't put them in storage just yet. You'll be able to give them a workout all winter long. And play legendary courses like Pebble Beach, Augusta, Bethpage Black, and Torrey Pines. Well, replicas of legendary courses...

The OptiShot Infrared Golf Simulator will let you play those famous links right in your living room, while using your own clubs, not some plastic toys. And you can use real balls, foam balls, or opt to use no balls at all.

A plug-and-play interface connects with Windows computers and requires only 8-1/2 feet of swing space. Their patented technology uses infrared sensors on a durable swing pad to accurately record your club head speed, face angle and swing path. The result? A true-to-life experience where you and up to three buddies will swear you're standing in the tee box at courses that are nearly impossible to get a tee time to play. And at about $400, it's cheaper than actually paying for a foursome at one of those courses. All while your neighbor's kid shovels your driveway.

Plus, the OptiShot gives you a complete swing analysis when you're done playing, and if you get tired of playing the eight courses included in the OptiShot library, you can hit the included driving range, par-3s, or buy four additional course replicas to play. You can use the money you'll save grabbing beer from the fridge instead of the cart girl, to pick up the extras.
