This at first looks like a very cool idea for a product. A quick way to carry balls to a range or a field for a little practice -- and then, when you're ready to hit, simply lower the ramp. And out pops a ball.
It's called the "Tee-It-Up" Golf ball ...
How do you feel about your short game? You know, when the ball is 50 yards out or so, and it's now up to you to find that simple little way to pop that ball either up and over the bunker to the green, or to run it up ...
OK, so here's the deal:
I'm boycotting products that make women golfers better. Not because I'm sexist. Not because they get to play from closer tee boxes. Not because there aren't products out there designed for men.
I'm boycotting them for one reason: my mother beats me when we play ...
The debate rages: Glove, or No Glove?
Some think that a glove makes you look like an amateur (which is strange because so many tour players wear them). Some say that a glove gives you a more "accomplished" look -- you know, like you really know what you're doing (which is ...
We hate to play in the rain, don't we?
But we're just crazy enough to still do it, aren't we?
Well some of you out there may have never experienced it, but up here in the Pacific Northwest, there is a reason why we are always so green on the kids' maps.
It rains. ...
What do we get Dad? Tie. Nah, too many already. Sweater. He always takes them back -- no clothes! Something electronic. This is Dad, remember? Right. Something with golf? What is there that's left?
I have it, guys. The Victorinox Swiss ...
If there's one thing Cleveland makes extremely well, it's the wedge.
I have toted a Cleveland sand wedge ever since I can remember, and it is still truly one of my favorite, most confident clubs to hit. Yes, even out of the sand.
As I ventured out for some window shopping this week, ...
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. ...
Do I have to? Do I really have to use this word?
I have tried for almost four full decades not to use this adjective to describe anything. When I see my friend's new tiny hybrid car pull into the course -- I did not use the word. ...
I knew it would come to this.
But I have to be honest. Brutally and painfully honest. I'll call myself out, and if you fit in with me, you'll know what I'm talking about. If not, then don't take any offense to this, and knock yourself out with this product.
Here ...
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?
Can we make a stand, here? Can we put our soft-spiked-feet down and say, "Enough is enough?"
I'm a little offended by the Tech 40 Northstar ...
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.
Personally, I'm a big photography guy more than a ...
Sometimes you need to find that little gift that a golfer may not have. Something that they would never really spend their own money on, but may like to have if someone else footed the bill. Something like a Scotty Cameron Putter. Something like a membership to Pebble Beach. ...
You would think an umbrella is just an umbrella, wouldn't you?
Well, I thought that too -- until I saw the one by Davek. This is the Traveler umbrella, and the one I looked at was in a cranberry red. At first I was skeptical, maybe because of the color (which is ...
There are those of us that *ahem* "choose" not to walk the course. It is, of course, to our own wallet's detriment because we rent carts. For a lot. Every time. There are others who are also choosing to ride in style, but they are a unique group ...
Certain golf gifts speak louder than others.
The golf towel says, "I couldn't find anything else and had five minutes. Sorry."
The exploding golf ball says, "I still find this joke funny even though it never works."
The Maxfli Noodle golf balls say, "I do care. I just went for what was on sale."
And ...
"Doris, hold all my calls -- I'm in a very important meeting and can't be bothered."
Ok. Here we go. Easy. Don't let this one get away from you. This is the most important moment. The impact of this meeting is crucial. Breathe. Take it ...
Stop the presses, wake up the kids, and call the neighbors. We may have just found it.
This just might be the coolest tool to come out in a long time that can help hackers... I mean amateurs like me feel a little less frustrated out on the course!
Here's the situation: ...
Practice makes... well it makes more practice for us, doesn't it? Golf is a lifetime game, and for many of us, practice doesn't make perfect. But it helps -- and this little item is supposed to help us even more. The Wilson Multi-Sport Cage Net with Ball return ...
For the price, this is a nice little chipping net.
Honestly, only a short overview is needed for this handy little practice item. Granted, it is not as big as some of the backyard practice tents, but for a quick practice round you can almost take this thing out of ...
Don't let the name dupe you. Used golf balls are one thing; Titleist ProV1's are something else. These are great golf balls. Honestly. Good construction, great feel, wonderful to putt.
But I would keep looking. I'm attacking value here, and attacking it pretty hard. If ...
Ok I'm going to be honest here.
I have always disliked learning and teaching aids. The market is full of the next gimmick that is supposed to either "save us strokes" or "add yards" or even "instill confidence."
And you know what? I've honestly stayed away from all of them. ...
My clubs are too heavy. Flat out too heavy.
Maybe it's the golf ball grabber, the five Gatorades, the swing trainer, the extra dozen golf balls (I lose ‘em, folks), and the rain gear I'm packing along with fourteen clubs. OK, sixteen. I can't seem to get rid of the extra ...
I personally love to play Titleist NXT Tours. These, for me, have felt identical to the Pro V1's and I simply love the way they feel on the green. I know, I know, there are many out there in the world who could tell the difference, but this ...
Hm. Last one during this shopping trip. It actually stopped me from shopping, too.
Least expensive. Least impressive. Darn. It kinda ruined the mood.
The Callaway CX Golf Cart Bag. I glanced over at it and expected to see a great product, because Callaway seldom disappoints. ...
I left the Nike bags, frustrated that I'm consistently drawn to increase Phil Knight's great-grandchildren's retirement accounts. I wandered over to a group of cart bags that really caught my attention. They looked very different from bags that I had ever seen.
I stepped up to the Bag Boy ...
Ever notice how when you hit a particular club, well it becomes suddenly very dear to you? They can come and go in seasons. For a while, I felt like playing every shot from my 5 iron. No idea why. I just hit it well every time. ...
Here's how I found this one in a room full of bags: I simply wandered around and allowed the first one that caught my eye to pull me over, so I could test it out.
Stupid Nike. Why do you draw me? Why? Why must I allow ...
Square Drivers.
What are we doing? Is nothing safe? Can we not do anything traditional anymore? Must we always try for the next big thing? Must we always be so different and innovative?
Absolutely. This is America, and we're just like that. And we're cool. ...
I went golf bag shopping today. Do I need a bag? Oh no. Not at all. I like my bag, and it's still in good condition. It was just one of those things. You know, "Golfer Prerogative." The last time I checked, my wife ...
We copy the pros whenever we can.
Ok I'll admit it. I do. The sad thing is that I will actually convince myself that it's not the countless hours of practice that they spend, or the ridiculous amount of money they spend on coaches and teachers, or even the mental ...
One time!
Nope.
Two times!
Deep breath.
Well that Par 3 turned into a six really fast, now didn't it? Hands down, one of the hardest parts of this silly sport, isn't it? I actually searched for a great quote on putting for this review and found my new favorite. Lord Robertson, ...
how to get back ur old loive and
how we explain my exgirlfriend to come back by love letters or
how to win your ex back on facebook.
what if your ex wants you to text him
how to get me ex back, how win your girl friend back, etc. ...
I am a huge fan of rescue clubs. Huge. Over-the-top ridiculous fan of rescue clubs. Why do you think that is? Because I'm consistently using them to try and finesse one up to the apron of the green on my second shot on the par 5? Uh, ...
I have been known to like gadgets. It's true. New innovations that make things easier or faster are always interesting to me. When I saw this shoe come up for review, I was excited because I knew it had something different than I had ever seen before.
The Footjoy ...
It's... a bag. With "Cleveland Golf" on the side. Oh, and it's red. It has handles and some side-vent zippers. Did I already say that it's a bag?
This product is an example of something I would not find practical at all. I'm not sure if the price ...
I'm a sucker for Nike, but don't worry; this review actually isn't skewed. I was pretty anxious to try out the Dymo series after really enjoying the Sasquatch 2 series. I was first of all completely impressed by the look. It took me a little bit to ...
Ugly and functional. Like a 1983 Ford F150 Pickup. The kind that you use to haul your garbage to the dump, but wouldn't pick up your date in. Even with a new vanilla-scented tree hanging from the cracked rear-view mirror.
This watch is really not attractive at all. Even in gold. ...
We get so spoiled. Sorry, I'll take all the blame for this one so you won't feel guilty. I have gotten so spoiled. I got tired of lugging clubs on one shoulder, so I used a bag that gave me backpack straps. I got tired of walking, so ...
Ok, so I have a friend; I won't tell you his name. He works at an airport; I won't tell you which one. He loads luggage for a living and packs the planes; and yes, I'm sure he hates his job -- especially on the extreme weather days. Well, ...
Ah, kids' clubs. The young whipper- snapper wants to play golf like the old man, eh? Step on up, my son. Let's shop for some clubs.
Here's a set. Tour Edge GeoMax Blue Junior Set. Ok. Bazooka. He likes the name. Sounds cool. Like ...
This review is a little tricky. I feel like I might come off sounding like a golf snob. Oh well. You can take it, right? Plus, you don't have to agree with me. But... I think you will.
Be honest. We just love golf. Right? ...
You know what I discovered? I can't be like Tiger. I tried. I tried so very hard. I bought Nike balls. I cupped my hat before I putted. Red shirts on Sundays. I even attempted the fist pump. Still not like him. It ...
What did you do on your lunch break today? I looked at putters. A small golf shop is just down the road from my work and I couldn't help it. Something drew me. Like destiny.
So I took my entire lunch ...
