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.

    • Okay, I had these two assumptions wrong. That would be my premise for hitting driver. I promise I'm not high.. lol. Fair enough. 
    • Wordle 1,110 4/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
    • Wider than most fairways, yes (thus why I don't hit 100% of my fairways), but most holes I play have 65+ yds between hazards (or areas where I can't easily advance my ball to nGIR) so the majority of the time when I hit driver I am able to find it and have a reasonable look at the green.  That would not necessarily be the case on this hole, especially because a mishit driver brings those left trees into play.   PGA Tour players average 2.82 strokes to hole out from 40yds in the bunker and 3.15 strokes to hole out from 60yds in the bunker.  2.82 strokes to hole out from the fairway is like 110yds and 3.15 strokes to hole out from the fairway is like 190yds.  Now granted I would only have that 50yd bunker shot 1/3 of the time, but it's still a VERY difficult shot especially for amateurs.   Haha trust me I love chasing birdies, but I'm averaging 2.78 birdies per round this year so that's not my issue, I need to make less bogies (5.2 per round) and doubles (0.42 per round) 
    • Vishal, what are you doing here? PGA Tour players are about 65 yards wide, often 70. Huh? A 50-yard bunker shot is one of the toughest shots in golf. Are you okay? 🤣
    • Day 608, July 3, 2024 Played 18 holes with a student. White tees. Wasn't really working on my stuff, but hit some really good shots. Drove 16 to the pin-high rough 3" from the fringe. Hit some tremendous long irons.
