Today I was browsing around a website looking at sleeves and cases for my iPad2 and I came across this:

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/urban-tool-golfbar-bag-for-ipad-2-ipad-p28602.htm

It got me thinking about "golf" gear that's clearly not been designed by someone who plays golf. In the above example they expect the golfer to purchase a £110 bag, load it with not only your mobile and iPad but also keys (hanging from the bag to jangle around!), tees, divot tool, balls, ball markers, glove, pencils and scorecard and then presumably play a round of golf wearing it.

Ridiculous! You really would look like an "urban tool"

That has to be the most stupid golf accessory ever. Hope my wife doesn't see it as it's the type of stupid thing she would buy for me thinking "well it say it says it's for golf".

LOL.  Nice Purse.  Sorry won't get that, got enough weight as it is with the replacement balls I need during a single round of golf :D

If I ever see someone wearing this on a course I'm going to pull out a 4 iron and beat them so badly that their closest of kin won't be able to recognize the body.      Just the existence of such a product insults the game of golf and all who have played it since the game was invented.    Can we get a class action lawsuit together or at least an injunction to prevent this company from ever producing this abomination?

I think the designer and advertiser aren't on the same page. It's probably meant to be mounted around the top of a staff bag at the range or something. Thanks for the pic - the chick on the right sure has a nice rump.

    • I found this video... Old Method 1. Open the clubface a ton 2. Open the stance a ton 3. Swing along the foot line New Method 1. Set up with the handle lower, and the ball further away form the body. 2. The clubface still opens up, but lowering the handle helps in not having to open the stance as much or for some keep the stance closed. Keeping the stance closed allows them to keep their weight forward much easier.  Now, I question that the PGA Tour players are hitting steeply down into the sand. I think they may have gotten this wrong in the video. You can load up the weight on the front foot, and still hit the ball shallow. The amount of sand taken out in some of the swings is not that much, and the divot doesn't look that deep.  Thoughts?
    • I would say I am not a fan. Honestly, I never ran into a situation where a tree root was anywhere close to the fairway. I am not a fan of free relief from a natural occurring feature of the course. Guess what, you have an option, unplayable lie. I know people think fairways should be pristine and free of all things that could inhibit your shot. I've played courses were big a** trees overhang a fairway and you have no shot at the green. It happens. If you think you will injure yourself, or do not want to chip out sideways from a root, then take an unplayable lie.  If you apply this rule, what is stopping someone from not being able to take a right-handed swing to being able to take a swing? A tree could be in the fairway (think hole #18 at Pebble Beach). They are like, I need relief. Now they get to have a shot at the green when the tree is there as an obstruction, something to play around.  Sorry, I do not think this is a good rule at all. If the course has that many trees, that it comes up a ton. Then vote as a club to have them removed. 
    • I've thought about this quite a bit since I've started using Shot Scope. Not all shots from a certain yardage that end up a certain distance from the hole are created equal, but I guess the thought is that over time those should even out since there would be other times where you're hitting into a funnel pin or something where it plays "easier" than what the SG suggests.

    • I voted decent weather golfer.  Generally it needs to be over 50 and sunny with no wind or over 70 if there is wind or rain.  I generally don't play in the rain or when it is over 95 unless it is league night and I can't reschedule or some type of event. Most of the time that I have played in the rain is because we just got caught in the rain, almost never tee off in the rain. We did tee off in the rain the first time we played at Eaglesticks, but it was warm and there was not much of a chance of rain and while it absolutely poured for a while, it stopped after 4 or 5 holes.
