With Father’s Day coming up next month, and the festivities surrounding my pending wedding (and all the cigars which will be involved), I thought it would be a good time to do a piece on a very cool accessory called the Gentleman’s Vice.
The Gentleman’s Vice is a cigar/golf accessory which has many functions:
First it is a dual action cigar cutter. You push a button and the double guillotine blades extend out. Put the stogey in the opening and close the guillotine for a perfect cut.
A 2nd button/slider extends a divot tool. A gentleman always fixes his ball mark and a few others.
After fixing a few ball marks, the player/gentleman marks his ball and pending birdie putt with a customizable ball marker.
Nothing ruins a fine cigar quicker than goose dung. While hitting shots the U-shaped top of the unit can hold a cigar to keep it off of the wet grass, keep it out of the chemically treated grass or most importantly, keep it away from goose dung. The unit also can serve as a club prop to keep the grips from contacting the wet grass and becoming slippery.
The Gentleman’s Vice has a mounting clip which allows mounting of the unit on your belt or your pocket for easy access.
Colors
The Gentleman’s Vice comes in five colors: Silver (pictured), copper, gold, black and gray.
Case
Each GV comes with a nice carrying case, pictured left. The case can easily attach to a golf bag.
Gallery
I have a gallery of images set up. Check out the Gentleman’s Vice Image Gallery.
Conclusion
I’ve used my Gentleman’s Vice many dozens of times and it would make a great Father’s Day golf gift. It is a perfect combination of a fun golf gadget and real life useful functionality. The thing is indestructible too, which is why it has a lifetime warranty. The Gentleman’s Vice is built like a Russian tank, only it gets much better gas mileage.

I’ve played 2-3 rounds now with the new Bridgestone B330-RXS. It has been a while since I’ve had an RX in play and I’d forgotten how damn long these things are, even on a day like the first one when it was very cold.
The RXS’ compression level is perfect for my granny swing and the slower club head speed said granny swing generates.
I’ll be doing a full review on the RXS as soon as I have enough rounds under my belt for a full evaluation.
It is league day. That can mean only one thing…
Crap weather… High winds and rain.
Golf babes mourn the loss of the web’s most eligible golf web geek
For those of you who didn’t know, I have a big announcement to make regarding my world away from the golf web.
Golf babes around the globe are in mourning with the news that the world’s most eligible golf web geek will no longer be eligible as of May 22, 2010. Yes I’m getting married to a fine lady who I’ve been seeing now for about 4.5 years. Though not a golfer, she was a world class athlete for many years and understands the passion and need for playing a sport you love.
The official invitational wedding golf tournament is Friday (sponsored by Bridgestone Golf) and the wedding itself Saturday. Needless to say the chaos level is high with all the loose ends, family in town, parties and all the stuff which encompasses such an event.
Following the wedding we’d planed to go to Greece for a honeymoon but that changed, and that is probably a good thing with what is going on there now. There was also thought of possibly going to India. Those plans are on hold for a month or two, so we’re taking a mini-honeymoon in Vegas for a few days. I’ll still check in on the golf web world to make sure things are running, but everyone hold the fort down for me. I’ll be busy.
Golfers are funny. The other day a golf pal comes up to me:
Golf pal: “Hey Tony, congratulations.”
Me: “Thanks. I’m excited for the wedding.”
Golf pal: “No. Congratulations on going to the Masters. Oh and congratulations on the wedding too…”
