Bernard Cohen, 23, recently settled 
in Royal Oak, transferring from his 
hometown of Buffalo, N.Y., for his 
dream job as an engineer in the auto-
motive industry. But one summer 
while still a student, strolling the Jersey 
shore with his dad — a golfer like 
himself — Cohen realized the beach 
was dotted with people playing lawn 
games. “I immediately drew a circle in 
the sand and started chipping,” Cohen 
says. That was the beginning of CHIP-
DOWN ($59.99), a user-friendly por-
table golf-inspired game for everyone 
— even beginners. Chipdown.com.
