Hybrids and furry animal headcovers

[MiniBlueDragon]

I'm thinking about wearing spurs on my golf shoes and riding a horse instead of cart...

I am thinking of getting a dragon headcover, riding a unicorn, and wearing a suit of armor so I can go all midievel on your arses with my 48* hybrid.

I sleep with my furry headcovers at night.  Is that wrong?

I married a fuzzy animal headcover in Vegas.  I dressed like Elvis.

Not wrong, but definitely illegal In 15 states.

Why the converse? Don't hate on Chuck. Really, the best selling basketball shoe of all time. Get real.  Club fitting? Come on, let me have you hit a club that is 2* flatter than what you need. I will give you furry animal covers as it kind of goes along with the smilies and maybe hybrids under the three iron and throw in Starbucks. I am still trying to figure out what a club with a non-functional feature is. All my clubs are pretty functional.

I like your blog tourspoon i always read it

the golf club market is primarily one for cosmetic appeal, and secondly functionality.

it is in a sorry state. callaway, titleist, ping, whatever - they are not in the business of supplying the golfer with the best tools to play the game.

this is not my opinion, this is a fact, and you will find this in any strategic report for the big oems. anyways, it is pretty obvious how they go about things.

unfortunately, the cosmetic appeal theyre after will only appeal to people with zero taste, and those who like tacky nonsense

i cannot, and will not, play an iron with any piece of foil insert, wings, stupid gimmicks, non functional shapes and features, or anything that does not impact on its performance.

unfortunately most people are not that smart (my iq is 149), and marketers of not only golf equipment but also other goods need to account for the 90% of stupid people out there

I gave you a thumbs-up for reading my blog!

I have to agree with some of your sentiment for non-functionality. My golf clubs have to look like golf clubs or else it is a problem. The only exceptions is my Adams Hybrid that is a Boxer and my Odyssey Two Ball Blade putter.

You're over thinking it. Typical of people with high IQs and dysfunctional social skills.

The recent increases in technology shared by all golf club manufacturers has resulted in much better clubs in the last 10 or so years.

Buy clubs from 2 or 3 years ago (still readily available) for a fraction of the original price or the price of this years slightly aesthetically modified version.

The doodads are irrelevant and, in fact, will make future high IQ curmudgeons pine for the days of old when clubs had flames and plastic inserts.
