All,
You must check out this video of a hilarious novelty gift for golfers, the Big Daddy Driver.  Ellen Degeneres demos it on her show, and adds to the humor level:

This would make a great holiday gift for your golf buddies.  Or, surprise them on the course with it.
Have fun!

Newbie golfers lose a lot of golf balls, it’s a fact of life.  This can get expensive.  One dozen of a decent quality ball can be $25 or more, and losing several over 18 holes starts to add up.
We recently heard about a company called LostGolfBalls.com.  They find and recycle used golf balls, sorting them [...]

I’ve been playing for a few weeks with the new Callaway HX Hot Bite Golf Ball.  You may remember that I’ve been using the HX Hot since I started playing golf.  That’s a great ball at a good price.  Having heard good things about the new “Bite” version, I had to give it a try.
This [...]

I recently bought a Tour Edge Bazooka JMAX Wedge.  You may remember that I’ve been playing with a wedge bought second-hand for $10.  This looks like a reasonable quality Mizuno.   The loft is not recorded on it, but looks like about 56 degrees.  However the grooves may be slightly worn, and it also has a [...]

Have been working on hitting my 3 Hybrid, a 19 degree.  To date I have been using my 4 Hybrid as the go-to club for long approach shots.  Depending on lie of the ball and solidness of contact, I get anywhere from 150 to 200 yards, mostly straight.
 Lately however, I have been hooking the ball, [...]

After taking the TaylorMade R5 out onto the range twice, I’m growing even more fond of it.
 Initially, I was hitting some giant fades, unlike the straight shots on the launch monitor.  After check my fundamentals, I realized that I was cupping my left wrist on the backswing.  After realizing this and keeping it flat on [...]

Well I did it.  Finally bought a driver.  A driver did come with the Jack Nicklaus set, and it looked like any other big-headed driver on the market.  However, i could not hit it straight or long to save my life.  So I’ve been teeing off with the 4 Hybrid or 5 Wood.  Getting it [...]

Picked up a used Sand Wedge at local Golfsmith.  It’s a Mizuno, age unknown, loft and bounce unknown.  I’m just going with the brand here, that and it was only 10 bucks. 

Shots with the six iron generally improving.  Fewer complete misses.  Ball still going only 100 yards or so.
 There was a complete golf set (Nicklaus brand) on sale at Costco for $200.  Pitching Wedge through 5-Iron, plus two Hybrids (3 and 4), two Woods (3 and 5) and a Driver.  I have no idea yet why [...]

Bought a used 6-iron (Cleveland brand) from the local Golfsmith for around 20 bucks.
 Took this to the driving range to start hitting balls.  Results were somewhat amusing.  The ball would generally fly off to the right in a curve (slice) despite my best intentions.  That’s when I made contact: several complete misses of the ball, [...]
