FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Fine Tune Golf and its RoboCup, an innovative ball-return robot that entered the marketplace in January, 2009 have announced that they are introducing a Caddy Cord to accompany their product as an overall putting practice solution. The company introduced its RoboCup at this year's PGA Merchandise Show, winning 'Best New Product'. By bundling this effective tool with the "Caddy Cord," a 'missed putt return guide' that is placed behind the golf hole, golfers can rest assured that even when they miss, they'll make, as their putts are fired right back to them. Together, this personal putting caddy collection - saves time, golfers' backs and brings the fun back into putting practice.

"The caddy cord gives you the convenience of not having to walk back and forth to retrieve missed putts," says Keith Foley, co-founder and inventor of the RoboCup. "This makes practicing much more enjoyable," he adds.

RoboCup is the only ball return device designed to work on any practice green. When your putts drop into the hole, RoboCup's innovative design automatically shoots the ball right back to you. RoboCup runs on 4 AA batteries and will return the ball up to 14 feet, depending on green speed. A set of batteries lasts for over 12,000 putt returns.

Caddy Cord is constructed with a double-braided nylon, that has the flexibility to wrap around the hole and adjust for breaking putts. Its composition allows the impact of the ball to be absorbed - enabling it to run along the cord, guiding it back to the hole. A molded section in the center of the rope prevents the ball from looping around the hole. Additionally, this section offers a printable surface area, ideal for logos and marketing for a brand, course or giveaway. The Caddy Cord is available in Hunter Green with two lighter green accent colors. A third accent color offers a varied color choice of black, gold or pink.

"Let's face it, not all of us putt like Tiger Woods," says Keith Foley, co-founder and inventor of the RoboCup. "What's truly great about the Caddy Cord, is that it still provides feedback on your putting stroke," he says. Foley adds that because of its size and shape, if you putt too hard, the ball will jump over the cord…and, if you are short, your ball will not get returned. "This encourages a proper putting distance, rewarding you with the ball returned to your feet and ready for game improvement," he says.

The Pros have already been using the RoboCup on Tour practice greens. "I really recommend the RoboCup for golf schools and lessons," says Mike Dugan, Golf Professional in Kissimmee, Florida. He says that after he offers putting instruction, he can leave the students to work on their own. "They become fascinated with the RoboCup, and are then motivated to make more putts so the ball will return to them," he adds.

The RoboCup and Caddy Cord set are available together for $59.95, making for an ideal tech-inspired gift. For additional information surrounding RoboCup, visit www.finetunegolf.com
