Man I’ve been in the posting zone lately. I’ll just go with…
There’s a company called Soldius from the Netherlands which makes a golf bag with solar panels on it. This might be good for golfblogger‘s ridiculous item of the week. The solar panels allow you to charge your cell phone or blackberry.
If you’re golfing and you use your cell phone so much that you need to recharge it on the course, then you should just go away. I understand having a cell phone in case of emergency, but jabbering away on cell phones on the course is a big no-no in my book.
I’m hoping to get my hands on some golf GPS units to review for you. But until then, you can see some reviews over at GPS Review.
In case you missed it, here’s a shot Rich from Eat Golf took with his new camera. I about fell out of my chair when I saw this pic at the bottom of a looong string of wildlife pix on Rich’s site. Hopefully eagles will be flying for me this year. But apparently a certain PGA pro commented on the site saying that would be the only eagle I’ll have this year. Well, pal… I’m not afraid of you. Sure you’re a pro, but I’ll take you on any day. Bring it on.
I had to get Eat somehow. I did an extensive search of the web to find a photo of Rich I could work with but came up with nothing. So I slipped in this little logo for a couple of seconds.
Our buddy Bogey Man picked up on this whole thing and posted the eagle pic. So for his efforts in spreading my eagle head pic around, I’ve added his logo to this mess:
I had a nice chat with the local Cleveland rep a few days ago. Cool guy. Some reps that work for really big golf companies that start with the letter “T” don’t even seem to want to give you the time of day. This guy not only have me the time of day, he and I swapped golf war stories for a good half an hour.
The two of us came up with a fun new game to try on the course. The “18 hole, press every hole” bet. If your normal bet is $2, then you start a new $2 bet on each hole.
I told the rep about my web sites and what I do and he asked if Cleveland ever sent me gear to review. I gave him some grief on that. I let him know that plenty of the other manufacturers do, but all Cleveland provides me with is press releases.
I asked him if Cleveland had any cool new stuff coming out this year. He said they were standing pat with the success of their current lineup. They’re moving the price down on their Launcher 460 comp so that it would be in the range of the very successful G2 and G5 by Ping.
I asked about Vijay’s driver. This is the one he just switched to and is supposedly knocking it even farther. Is that even possible? The rep told me there was nothing really going on with that club for now, but perhaps there might be some news in the summer.
Cleveland update complete.
