Golf "technology" or "revolutionizing golf" might sound like contradictions. It's more of a
traditional game. Yet, there was a time when golf carts were considered new jack and
unsportsmanlike.

Interestingly, golf technology is older than we think. In 1972, there was a patent for a slope-
simulating putting green. The flat surface could be tilted by way of inflatable pouches underneath.

Today, it's a tad more advanced. And a bit more digital. From the start, Evolve Technologies has
specialized in planning, installing, and servicing golf simulators as part of its comprehensive
smart home mission.

At Evolve, we know the intersection of technology and golf has brought about a significant
revolution in the game, especially with the integration of the best golf gadgets into the golf
bag—or into your basement. From enhancing the indoor and outdoor golf experiences,
technology is changing how players approach and enjoy the game.

By exploring items tailored for golf enthusiasts, players can access cutting-edge tools and
gadgets that enhance their overall experience and—most importantly—make them better at it.

Each year comes and goes so quickly, yet the length of it never changes. "Can you believe it's already . . . " Maybe our lives are just busier. That busyness can be stressful but also fulfilling. Between the two, it will depend on how we manage the busyness.

Corralling that activity with smart home technology in the 21st century can be easier than in years past. Today, it's possible to say, "Hey Alexa, please add lime juice for fajitas to my shopping list," just like that, it's in the calendar/reminders display projecting onto the mudroom wall.

Straightforward Features and Benefits of Smart Home Calendars

• Any place with a screen and an internet connection shows you everything in your family’s schedule
• Lots of adaptability features
• HDTV-sized projections of the family’s schedule on any wall 
• Android, iOS, and even Microsoft 365 calendar sync is available

Smart Home Calendars Help Keep the Family Organized

Keeping a homeful of people organized is hard. Smart home calendars are becoming a must-have tool for busy families. A smart calendar is a shared webpage or shared app for families. Members can add individual events, how long the events last, location, etc. 

Let's not kid ourselves; you or your spouse will be the ones entering your kids' schedules into the family calendar. ("You sent 104 texts yesterday, but you couldn't add your make-up exam after school to the calendar!?") But at least it will be in one place. And you'll be able to access it anywhere you have an internet connection.

The song "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music is not specifically about the holidays but is often in holiday song playlists. This probably comes from the line "brown paper packages, tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite things."

With the holidays approaching, there will be lots of packages—lots of favorite things—being delivered. And the smart home products available to expedite and safeguard those packages? Those security features have arrived.

From smart home doorbells to new, installable smart mini-fortress mailboxes, smart home technology has a lot of ways to help with home deliveries. And Evolve Technologies can help with that help.

DELIVERY AND THE OLDER SNAIL MAIL

Gen Xers will remember mail-order shopping in the days of yore: paper magazines or paper catalogs. A live human took your order of J. Crew khakis over the phone, and you'd get it in maybe two weeks. There was also mailing a paper check in an envelope. Today, we can order mayonnaise through a host of eager delivery services by smartphone and get it in six hours.

In days of yore, the process for getting our favorite things—khakis, novelty t-shirts, books, expensive steaks shipped in dry ice—was much more complicated and slow.

Garages aren't just the breezeways of life. Apparently, at least in Dallas, they are historic! The National Register of Historic Places, in 2020, added the DalPark parking garage in downtown Dallas to its list. 

As the holiday season revs up, there will be more traveling. Even if your family takes an Uber to the airport for major holiday travel, there's still gift shopping, grocery shopping for Thanksgiving, Nativity plays, ballet recitals of the Nutcracker, office holiday parties, and more.  

The garage door openers will be busy.  

Can a garage be smart? Yes, you can have a smart garage. There are a host of smart garage door controllers, smart garage door openers, and other options. Evolve can design and create a smart garage experience that is way more than bicycles and a beer fridge.  

Smart garages are a thing, and Evolve Technology can make it your thing.
