A system for providing a line to a boat is provided. The system includes the line attached to a portion of a dock and a line tending unit configured for selectively operating in a stowed state and in a deployed state. The line tending unit includes a line tending arm including an attachment end configured for releasably holding the line and a line tending unit actuator configured to actuate the line tending arm between a stowed condition corresponding to the stowed state and a deployed condition corresponding to the deployed condition. The system further includes a control device in communication with the line tending unit and configured for commanding the line tending unit between the stowed state and the deployed state.

Mechanized boat dock

A golf club head is provided having a body and a face insert, with a slot in a perimeter region of the body of the club head adjacent the face insert. The slot increases the flex of the hitting surface on impact with a golf ball, thereby increasing the speed with which the ball rebounds off the hitting face and increases the overall distance the ball is hit. The slot preferably moves the sweet spot of the hitting face a distance X from the face center of the hitting face. The slot may be filled with an elastomeric material.

Metal wood club

An iron-type golf club includes a conventional-weight section, a lightweight section and a heavyweight section. The conventional-weight section includes the hitting face and at least a portion of the hosel. The heavyweight section, made of a denser material than the conventional-weight section, includes the sole and an optional back flange. The lightweight section, made of a material less dense than either of the other sections, includes a core to which the other two sections are secured, such as by co-molding the core to the other two sections. The heavyweight section includes anchoring structures to which the lightweight section can securely attach. This arrangement maintains the overall weight of the club head compared to a similarly proportioned conventional club head while shifting the center of gravity low and aft. As such, the club head provides benefits such as forgiveness for thin shots, heel/toe shots, and provides longer drives with less roll.

Iron-type golf clubs

A set of iron clubs where each club in the set has the same or substantially the same ground roll. The set is produced by adjusting at least two club design characteristics of the clubs based upon measured or assumed player swing data. The design characteristics of the clubs include club length, static clubhead loft, location of the center of gravity, shaft flexibility, and groove volume. Preferably, club length and static clubhead loft are adjusted for coarse adjustments, while the other characteristics are used to fine-tune the design.

Set of iron clubs with constant ground roll

A hosel set for a golf club is provided that contains a plurality of hosels that can be used interchangeably and removably with one or more golf club heads to secure a shaft to the golf club heads. The hosels vary in length while maintaining the same weight. Mating, curved surfaces are provided on the hosel and the golf club head to facilitate ease of bending and to reduce binding and gapping between the hosel and the golf club head.

Golf club heads with interchangeable hosels

A method and apparatus are disclosed for collecting urine samples. The method and apparatus comprise a reservoir and funnel. The bottom portion of the funnel is attached to the top portion of the reservoir. The funnel has ridges lying along the long axis of the funnel. The funnel has an expanded and unexpanded position. When unexpanded the funnel folds inward along the ridge about the lip of the reservoir, towards the bottom of the reservoir. When expanded, the funnel folds upwardly and unfolds outwardly.
