It's not the prettiest or coolest looking item in the world, but let's just say this:
It's a conversation piece.
The History of Golf Balls Clock is literally what it sounds like: a desk clock in (what looks to be) a cherry wood finish with analog movement and Roman numeral numbers. However, it also charts the history of the development of the golf ball in five stages.
It is honestly one of those pieces that someone may look at and read the little brass plaque and simply say, "Huh. That's interesting." But not much else. While unique, I'm not positive I would spend this price on a clock like this new -- but instead could see myself finding at a garage sale for a few bucks, offering $1.50 and putting it on my desk as a trophy of good haggling skills.
I didn't see any other features such as alarms, and the balls were fixed to it pretty securely so I couldn't pull one off and use one of them in a pinch.
Since I wasn't crazy about this item, I honestly looked for another golf-themed desk clock that I would recommend instead. Not much out there. Looks like I know what I'm going to invent next...

Do I have to? Do I really have to use this word?
I knew it would come to this.
Ok, who is the wise guy who invented this? Or better yet, who is the wise guy who is looking to market this for golfers?
Hey remember back when Payne Stewart won the US Open? If you do, you're not only a big golf geek like me, but you also are old. (Sorry.) Remember how it was raining and he took a pair of scissors and cut off the sleeves of his rain jacket? That was so cool. Payne was just simply too cool.
Remember fanny packs? My brother used to wear one all the time. It was basically a belt with a purse attached to it that you snapped on around your waste. No need to spend the extra money to have the word "DORK!" embroidered on it -- it goes without saying.
I'm always drawn to these. If I'm dreading my trip to the dentist and wandering around the waiting room, or waiting for my club sandwich in the pro shop, I always stop and check out the different golf art decorating the place.
True story: Several years ago I was working for a startup restaurant concept. (Currently the company has hundreds of stores.) The founder and CEO knew I was a golfer, and invited me out to his private golf club. I was really excited, and practiced and practiced until the day finally came and we were standing on the first tee. I was dressed in a nice ironed colored shirt and a pair of denim shorts. (Oops!)
Hybrids are all the rage. Why shouldn't the Nicklaus Corp jump on the bandwagon? These hybrids include the 2 with an 18 degree loft, the 3 with a 21 degree loft, a 4 with a 24 degree loft, and a 5 with a 27 degree loft.
Ahem, excuse me -- um, what the heck is this?!
