A new golf bag has been announced that will allow you never to miss a business call again while you sneakily get in a round of golf.

Coming with a built-in solar panel that provides 100% green energy, the Soldius Solar Golf Bag has the ability to charge your mobile phone while you get busy playing golf out on the fairway.

The bag comes with charging points compatible with more than 250 mobile phones including models from the usual players such as Nokia, Sony-Ericsson, Samsung and Motorola.

The bag will be available in a variation of colours and sizes to fit different golfers needs and depending on available sunlight, the Dutch company who makes the bag believes you should be able to charge your phone in just 3 hours.

No price or release date as yet for the UK.

We will keep you posted.
