Golf in the Rough
You dont need a fairway or a putting green to play Ladder Golf. In fact, it can be set up just about anywhereon grass, dirt, sand or concrete, indoors or outdoors. And its light and portable enough to take along on a picnic or a camping trip.
You play the game with bolas, which are two golf balls attached by a nylon rope. Players toss the bolas at a ladder structure with three rungs, trying to wrap the bolas around the rungs to earn points.
Hardwoods are used for the bases of the ladder, and brass inserts to connect the golf balls with nylon rope. The manufacturer describes the ladder rungs as unbreakable.
RV Life staff member Toni Davis is among those who have tested and enjoyed the game. After a year, we still spend hours playing Ladder Golf in the yard, she says. Its perfect for any get-together. Anyone can play it and its portability lets us take it in the RV to enjoy anywhere.
A game set can be ordered online for $64.95. A tournament game set is $119.95. For information, contact Ladder Golf, P. O. Box 478, El Cajon, CA 92022. Phone (877) 652-3337 or visit www.laddergolf.com.
Kit Improves GM Steering
Lazy steering and premature component and tire wear can be the price of using lift kits and larger offset wheels on some trucks and SUVs. But now SuperSteer, a division of Hendersons Line-Up, has teamed up with Cognito Motorsports to offer a kit to solve these problems on 1999 and later GM trucks and SUVs.
The SuperSteer idler support reduces play and eliminates steering slop, while the Cognito Motorsports brace ties in the pitman arm, center link and idler support to prevent premature ball socket wear and changes in toe in.
