I was going to do a poll, but there seems like there are too many...haha. So I will just ask the question. How often do you flip on the set and find yourself watching a golf infomercial? Then low and behold you realize you have watched the whole thing? I swear to God, I think I have watched all of them and want every product...(i have quite a few) except for the HAMMER. That is the worst one I have ever seen. Between the Power Hitter, The Medicus ( i have that one), and all the other tools, they have my attention every time.

The only one I watched and made it all the way through was the medicus one. I bought one and now if I see an infomercial, I change the channel lol.

Ive watched the heavy putter one almost 5 times now. It usually take me 10 minutes to realize im watching an infomercial, then im hooked and watch the whole thing. I like when they show the over exagerated bad habits that the device will fix.

Being an ex NYer and not being a fan of the local teams here I find myself watching these infomercials way too much since there is nothing else on right now. But dont hate on the hammer - it is kind of humorous

It is hunmerous, hearing a guy grunt and scream every swing and claim that if he could 3 putt, he could be a top player.

I saw the Hammer ad last year when I was on vacation, and my buddy and I for the next 4 days kept mocking him on the range, yelling "POW" after every shot. When I got home the next weekend we got paired up with a guy who actually had that driver we couldn't stop laughing about it and wanted to yell "POW" everytime the guy hit it.

the real question is, how did he hit it????

He would have been better off throwing a ball in the air and hitting it with an actual hammer

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
