There&#8217;s a way to make your computer even golfier. The new Mac OS is code-named Tiger (which is pretty golfy all by itself, no?), and it has a cool feature called Dashboard. When you activate Dashboard, a serious of little web-enabled programs called Widgets pops up. There are plenty of Widgets you can install, from eBay auction trackers to local weather reports. Your golf fix is taken care of by the new Golf Tips Widget. It provides a new golf tip each day, courtesy of <em>Golf<\/em> magazine. If you&#8217;re using a Mac with Tiger installed (and if you&#8217;re not, you really should be), you can download the Golf Tips Widget <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/downloads\/macosx\/dashboard\/golftips.html.\" title=\"Download from Apple\" class=\"external external_icon\">here<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dashboardwidgets.com\/showcase\/details.php?wid=344\" title=\"Golf Tips from Dashboard Widgets .com\" class=\"external external_icon\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mac OS X users, we shed some light on a Dashboard Widget can help you score better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-playing_tips"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
