A Flask For The Ages

No mechanical testing by an Iron Byron swing robot. No computer analysis of swing launch angles, spin rates, ball compression here. None of that geeky and moderately useless technical information is needed for this review. All that’s necessary is a few solid rounds, so to speak.

The stainless steel Tattoo Golf flask is a great golf and life accessory, whether using it on the golf course, tailgating, or sneaking a wee nip in anywhere it is needed.

This is not a little boy’s flask, clocking in at a manly 8oz, much more than a standard flask.

High quality stainless steel construction.
Attached screw down cap.
Measurements; 3.75″ x 5.50″
Holds 8 oz. of fluid
Image wraps around entire flask
To clean, just wipe it down with a damp cloth & dry. Not dishwasher safe.

Artwork

I really the available artwork for TG’s flasks. Mine is the Pin-Up Girl. I may have to get a couple more of the 48 different flasks Tattoo Golf currently stocks. Need one with some bigger skulls (you can see a skull on the pin-up girl’s Tattoo Golf polo).

Final Thoughts

The Tattoo Golf flask has become the go-to club in my golf bag. Always delivers. Never disappoints, except when it is empty.

I strongly suggest this item as a Father’s Day golf gift, Christmas gift, or one for any occasion. $29 of pure joy.

Today’s footwear apparel scripting is killer. Even at a BBQ yesterday or the office today, my brand new Ecco Golf BIOM Hybrid 2 shoes are super comfortable and extremely sharp looking.

Ecco BIOM Hybrid 2

I’ll be reviewing these hybrid golf shoes as soon as I’ve put them through the rigorous HOG testing battery on the course and around town. For now you can see a few more Ecco Golf BIOM Hybrid 2 images here and I’d strongly consider these for an upcoming Father’s Day golf gift.

Golf Cigar Aficianado: Arturo Fuente Cuban Corona Review

In the golf world most players have a “go-to” club. It’s the one club they are the most confident in, hit the best, or depend on when they need to be sure to hit the fairway. My cigar equivalent, or go-to cigar brand, would have to be Arturo Fuente. “Fuentes” have been as solid and dependable as the best club in my bag.

Arturo Fuente Cuban Corona Cigar

Today’s review is of the great tasting and satisfying Arturo Fuente Cuban Corona courtesy of Famous Smoke Shop. The corona in the name is the shape. In laymen’s terms it is a medium sized cigar. The core of the cigar is Dominican in origin.

Specs

Strength: Medium
Shape: Corona
Size: 5 1/4 x 45
Country: Dominican Republic
Wrapper Color: Natural
Wrapper Origin: African
Wrapper Leaf: Cameroon

On The Course

On the course or in the back yard, this is a very tasty and enjoyable cigar. The medium strength is enough for me to get a nice vibe but not so strong that I’m shaking over my birdie putt on the 6th hole. The size is just right too, lasting just the right amount of time.

Conclusion

Not too strong. Not too big. Tasty and enjoyable. The wife and I celebrated our anniversary with this Fuente, and a bottle of bubbly.

If your father or a father you know is a cigar smoker, consider the Fuente Cuban Corona as a very well thought out Father’s Day gift.

ScoreBand GPS Watch Review

Looks like a solid 6-iron to the par-3 9th hole!

The ScoreBand company is filling a vacant spot in the golf accessory industry, affordable golf laser rangefinders and affordable golf GPS devices. Today’s review is the ScoreBand golf GPS watch. This unit gives solid yardages, tracks the distance of shots played, and also can serve as a golf scorekeeper. Aesthetically it is not too shabby looking to boot.

Features

Front, back, and green center yardages displayed
Over 30,000 worldwide courses preloaded with no additional fees
Automatically detects the nearest golf course
Measures shot distance
Scorekeeping

On The Course

I’m not a watch wearer, and golf GPS watches are bigger than regular watches. So I use the unit attached to my golf bag. When I’m at my bag I check the yardage right there, then know what club to pull.

I tested this unit over several months and the GPS yardages are quick and accurate. One can hit a shot with confidence knowing the yardage is right and the club selection is the best one. I used a laser and a more expensive golf GPS made by another company side by side with the ScoreBand golf GPS watch. The yardages were nearly identical.

Critiques

I have the same critiques with this golf GPS watch that I have with seemingly all the others. First the size and weight are a little big for comfort during a golf swing.

Second, the charging cable for this unit is a non-standard, proprietary cable. So when you are finally making that lifelong trip to Bandon Dunes or Pebble Beach, make sure you didn’t forget the charging cable. You won’t find one at a Walgreens.

Price Point

The big selling point of this golf GPS watch is its price point. At $139 here on Amazon, this unit runs around half the price of many popular golf GPS watches. As I mentioned, I couldn’t tell a difference in yardage, so I would say $139 is a hell of a deal.

Conclusion

This very affordable and accurate golf GPS watch is a no-brainer. Consider this golf gps for a Father’s Day Golf Gift, Christmas golf gift, or the perfect unit for the person finally ready to dive into golf GPS technology.

Reason #375903 the Golf Industry is Struggling

Yesterday’s round was painful on a number of levels. First, I tweaked some strange muscle in my lower left back which made swinging tough. At the top of my swing and end of my backswing with the putter it felt like someone was jabbing me with an ice pick. Naturally, that made for some very errant shots and a big number in the final column of the score card.

On the 4th hole my foursome waited 15 minutes for the threesome in front of us to clear the green. By the time they left the green there were two groups waiting to tee off on #4 tee, along with us approaching the green. Then they sat there on the 5th tee talking and doing nothing. No group in front of them. We yelled ahead and told them to speed it up. Naturally instead of speeding up play they called the pro shop and complained about us.

At the five hour mark we were on the 18th tee…. waiting. The slow threesome who complained about us was in the fairway…forever. One guy was giving the other guy a lesson in the fairway. Once we saw that we did what any polite golfer would do at that point. We hit our tee shots and hoped for the best.

Ignorant jerks like this are reason #375903 the golf industry is struggling.
