No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Come on, man. The UroClub is a screw-top container shaped like a golf club that you urinate into behind a built-in privacy towel. NO!
It’s a simple three step process, according to the UroClub web site: “Unscrew the UroClub’s triple seal, leak proof cap, clip the privacy towel to the UroClub and your belt or waist band, discreetly relieve yourself and then get back into the game!”
The UroClub started out at $50 but you can get it for $24.95 for a limited time. It’s been around for a bit, so I apologize if you’ve seen it before. Actually, I also apologize it you haven’t seen it before.
Above, please witness what I’d purchase if I were the type of person who’d spend $500 on a single golf club (I’m not). The PowerBilt Air Force One – by the same people who bring you Louisville Slugger baseball bats – has nitrogen inside of it. Nitrogen!
Looks like all the wrinkly dollars you’ve fed into Golden Tee machines over the years could finally come back to you full circle (and then some) if you can take home the $20,000 first prize at the Golden Tee World Championship next week.
Actually, you probably should have signed up by now. If you did, you’re fully aware that the championship will be held at the Las Vegas Hilton September 12-13 and will host 500 of the best Golden Tee players in the world. The total purse is $100,000, which will be divvied out between various team and individual contests including the $20,000 individual prize. The 20th Anniversary Edition of the game will also be unveiled at the tournament.
Here’s one man’s opinion: Nintendo Wii, as a gaming system, was meant for golf. I would have bought the thing if it was called the Nintendo Golf Simulator back when it was released. Nintendo keeps releasing non-golf games for it, yet I just wait for one game every August.
Tiger Woods 07, released in mid-March 2007, was a pretty good first crack at motion-based golf on the Wii. Then Tiger Woods 08 came out in late August 2007, less than half a year after the first Wii version.
I purchased it and found it to be an okay, albeit marginal, upgrade from the previous one but it didn’t feel much different, the putting took a step backward (if you ask me), and there still was no online multiplayer.
I knew that going in and I made my peace with it because I knew that this year – this year – would be the year that Tiger Woods on the Wii really started hauling ass. So with plenty of time to really get in there and mix it up, Tiger Woods 09 has finally shipped. I’ve been waiting for this version for a long, long time. Let’s take a look.
I’ve been doing okay with the yardage markers and sprinkler heads on the golf course but maybe someday when I retire — rich beyond my wildest dreams thanks to blogging – I’ll be able to work on my game to get to the point where I need to know the exact distance to the pin. That’s where the GR-130 from Holux will come in.
Or there’s the GR-245 Bike GPS, a product I’ll never use because it’s for bicycle enthusiasts. I don’t own a bicycle, nor am I enthusiastic about bicycling. The lack of enthusiasm likely begets the non-ownership of said bicycle.
They say that golf is a good walk spoiled. But nothing spoils a good walk like paying $30 for a cart and then playing like ass all day long. Sure, you could carry your clubs but let’s be honest, we all play golf for a moderate to slightly below moderate amount of exercise. If I wanted to lift weights, I’d go to a… you know… that place that used to take $80 out of my checking account every month even though I never went there.
The Shadow Caddy sits snugly in between manliness and laziness while scoring some well-deserved geek cred. It’s very similar to any other type of motorized cart you’d see on a golf course except that there’s no remote control. You simply attach a transmitter to your belt and the Shadow Caddy follows you around automatically. There’s a simple STOP button on the device itself, which you press when you want to hit your ball or if you’re going to head to the green to putt.
It’s been developed by an Australian company and was supposedly going to hit Australian golf courses in October of last year. Any Aussie readers out there who can vouch for its existence? If you’ve seen one, how much do they cost to rent? I’d definitely pay to rent one here in the US if they were $20 or less per round.
This year’s version of Tiger Woods for the Nintendo Wii should finally address some of the shortcomings of the first two titles. Most notably, you’ll finally be able to play online against three other players. What’s really cool about the online mode is that all four of you will take your shots independently of each other. So you’ll see little trails and shot arcs from your opponents scattered about whichever hole you’re currently playing to signify their shots respective to yours. You won’t, however, have to sit and watch every player hit, so a full four-player round won’t drag on for hours.
Tokyo-based accessory maker Green House’s newest invention is a true dreamfor all gadget fans who don’t want to leave their computer to play golf. The company started shipping an (almost) golf ball shaped USB mouse along with a mat resembling a green.
The set also includes a small putter, three “real” mini golf balls and a flag which can be placed on the mouse pad/green. The company will even print your own name, picture or logo on the flag for an extra fee.
I betcha one of these would fit quite nicely into a golf bag. Maybe load her up with some barley pops and let’s get going.
The Chill Stick costs a measly $11.98 — a pittance compared to what six beers in a cooler would cost you on almost any golf course.
It’s made of neoprene, which is basically God’s gift to beverage enthusiasts and it comes in assorted colors that are chosen by the Things You Never Knew Existed store, so that oughta be a thrill-ride in and of itself.
On a slightly unrelated note, isn’t anybody concerned about what happened to the rest of Green Shirt Guy’s body? Poor fella probably never saw it coming.
I love Star Wars and I love golf, and I always kind of assumed that they were mutually exclusive. Not so, as now a Japanese company has made this bad-ass Stormtrooper-head golf bag that I so totally want.
Now all I need is an Ewok costumer for my caddy and I’m set, man. Set.
At $899, it costs more than most people’s entire set of golf clubs but for the uber-rich out there, why not pick one up? What the hell, huh? Might as well.
It uses a "micro Inertial Navigation System (INS)" to "identify the putter face position in relation to the ball at impact and display the information immediately on the vibrant color LCD." It can then relay information to you about the tempo, path, speed, and hand vibration levels of your putts.
Now I’ve officially seen it all. The Golfsmith Star Trek Enterprise NCC-1701 costs $130 and there are only 1701 available, which is probably 1700 more than there are golfers who are big enough Star Trek fans to buy this and use it on the course.
It actually looks like a decent putter thanks to the weight-balancing warp speed tube thingies. Maybe I’ll pick one up someday, if only to freak out the establishment a little.
Howsabout a little mini golf before your mid-morning accounts receivable meeting? These remote controlled Mario and Luigi figurines would be great for just that.
At $25 each, they’re not exactly cheap given that "frustration may ensue when trying for the perfect putt" but can you really put a price on the nostalgia-meets-mini-golf craze that’s about to sweep the nation?
The golfers are attached to a Famicon-ish remote that makes use of the A and B buttons to handle all the swinging. The other buttons are merely there for aesthetic reasons. You’ll also get two easily-misplaced tiny golf balls and one saucer-shaped golf hole.
Ah, Golf — the fickle mistress. She takes without asking. If you’re frustrated that you don’t get outside enough, why not get outside and frustrate yourself even further with a nice, aggravating round of golf?
As one of the most gimmick-heavy sports around, golf offers plenty of opportunities for a fool and his money to part ways. Here are a few golf gadgets that might help you step your game up a bit (or maybe just lighten your wallet). Read More
If someone could explain why or how this is funny, on some level other than a base one, I’d be thankful. It’s one of those exploding golf balls, but at its center, it’s got a condom. Not a wrapped up one, which you could later use to avoid getting The Herp from the course hooker in the pro shop, but rather, ya know, just a condom. Supposedly it just flies out when the ball ’splodes. There’s some pun in there somewhere, but I won’t be the one to make it.
No, really, I don’t get it. Explain this to me, and you win my eternal respect for a month. Eternal, friends.
Oh, and it comes with a “sexy tee”, which means a piece of plastic roughly shaped like a girl. Sexy!
Most people with an Xbox 360 probably own a copy of Gears of War. Surely they’ve played the hell out of it by now and it’s slowly collecting dust while they wait for a sequel to emerge. No sequel is in the works, but Epic Games boss Mark Rein has confirmed a spin-off of the game entitled Gears of War Golf Read More
I never got into golf. I think it’s because I prefer sports that involve some amount of sweating (edit: And the fact that it’s lame. – Blake). Though, if I ever take it up, I’m totally going to buy one of these putters, so I can whoop anybody I play. The comes the DiXX Blu Digital Instructor from South Korean company Infinics.
The putters sensors and LCD screen help you align the club perfectly with the ball before you take a swing. It literally gives you the “green light” when you’ve got it in the right place. In addition to all of this, the putter collects data such as the path of the swing, swing speed, impact position and the angle of the putter’s face on each of your swings. How it measures the angle of your face is beyond me, but it seems pretty fancy pants. On sale later this month in Japan for ¥98,000 (US$832).
Looks like all the wrinkly dollars you’ve fed into

 Because of my love for this game, I was thrilled — <i>thrilled</i>– to come across this home version, even though it’s in the form of one of those A/V cable-attached abortions.</p>
<p>There have been console versions before, but they were pale copies. The feeling of letting the trackball go at just the right angle with just the right backspin is blissfully physical, allowing you to interact with the course and the ball and your clubs in a way that just feels better. Replicating that on my big screen at home is going to rule.</p>
<p>The only thing that I might not like about this home version is I’m fairly certain that those two damned snarky commentators voices are included, with their bad observational puns intact. “Give him a shovel, he’s going to end up on the beach, Pat.” Up yours, pal, let’s see you get over here and do this.</p>
