The Editors at GOLF MAGAZINE set out in search of the coolest electronics and technology—from digital cameras, to satellite radios and digital caddies—that golfers would most like to get their hands on this holiday season.

As a result, we've assembled this list of techno toys that run the gamut from the absolutely necessary to the totally frivolous. We'll let you decide which is which!

Tune in 60 channels of commercial-free music as well as news and sports with the Sirius satellite radio receiver ($170, plus $13 monthly fee; 888-539-7474 or sirius.com).

The tiny Panasonic SV-AV100 .D-Snap camcorder ($1,000; 800-211-7262 or panasonic.com) hides a 512MB memory card that provides 20 minutes of DVD-quality video or 10 hours of coverage in economy mode.

In Microsoft's Links 2004 for Xbox ($50; xbox.com) you'll hear Sergio Garcia yell, "Bite!" before you stick your wedge shot inside his to win the match. Take that, Sergio! And now you can play online against fellow Xboxers on new-for-'04 layouts from Scotland's Loch Lomond to Jack Nicklaus's Superstition Mountain in Arizona.

From Philips comes the Key006 MP3 player ($149; 800-531-0039 or phillips.com), a mini-stereo (shown actual size) that plays 61Ú2 hours of skip-free music, recharges through your computer and hangs on its remote-control neck strap as lightly as a Chet Baker serenade -- it weighs less than a golf ball.

Be the first in your state to bring your second-favorite pub activity home -- yes, you can buy the arcade game Golden Tee Fore! 2004 ($4,495; 847-285-3300 or itsgames.com), which sports five new courses from virtual Hawaii to cyber-Scotland. Commentary from Pat Summerall and Peter Jacobsen includes Jake's droll, "He's headed for the cabbage, Pat!"

The Garmin iQue 3600 ($589; garmin.com) is a PDA with built-in GPS that works PDQ. Simply flip the antenna to find out where you are, then get where you're going with turn-by-turn voice guidance. The StarCaddy application seen above is $40 extra.
