This product wins the sweep stakes

The company's name is No More Bending. It's self-explanatory, but in the event anyone is still confused, here's what the company says about itself: "As our name suggests, we spend our time trying to figure out how to save you from all that bending!"

No More Bending introduced its first golf product recent, the Golf Ball Broom, which ought to be self-explanatory as well: It sweeps up golf balls, 30 of them fitting in the smaller basket, 60 in the larger.

Not a bad idea and quicker than picking up one at a time as the Original Bag Shag from Madewell Products does. However, the Golf Ball Broom is more expensive -- $60 for the smaller basket, $70 for the larger. The Original Bag Shag has an MSRP of $35.
