Gurus & Gizmos
These days every self-respecting swing coach seems to be hawking
a game-improvement device. The products range from the helpful to
the hilarious, but regardless of their usefulness they often
sell, sell, sell (thanks in part to the seven luminaries singing
their praises). We've set up this quiz to see if you can match
the guru to the gizmo.
