Top Ten: Wacky Golf Products

Written on Wednesday, 01 June 2011
We've trawled the web to bring you our Top Ten list of the wackiest, silliest and most ridiculous golf products available to buy today. Some of them you might actually find useful, too. What will they think of next?


Number one Top_Ten_Wacky_Products_1 SpeedChain The SpeedChain may look like something that would be more at home in the London Dungeon, but it promises to help develop your speed and reaction times to optimise your golf swing. Because the chain is designed to become heavier the faster you move, both your speed and strength increase - unlike, say, lifting weights, where the greater resistance (the heavier the weight), the slower you move.
Number two Top_Ten_Wacky_Products_2 The Adjustable Iron Next time you're heading out to the course, packing your whole set of clubs in to the boot of the car, consider this: with the adjustable golf club you need never lug your full set with you ever again. With an adjustable loft and collapsable shaft, this is the ultimate travel club - although you might get a few funny looks on the course as you tweak the club and alter the shaft length to turn an iron into a putter.
Number three Top_Ten_Wacky_Products_3 Drizzle Stick A simple yet ingenious idea, the Drizzle Stick is basically an umbrella with a straight handle and a flexible shaft. It can slide into your golf bag to protect your clubs from the elements: your club heads need never be rained on again (well, except for when you remove them to take a shot, of course).
Number four Top_Ten_Wacky_Products_4 Awesome Foursome Joke Golf Balls Featuring the Unputtaball, the Jetstreamer, the Exploder and the Phantom, these four golf balls will have your golfing buddies howling as you switch one of their golf balls and their next shot explodes, disappears or simply won't go straight. The perfect prank for the course.
Number five Top_Ten_Wacky_Products_5 Flair Hair Visor Protect your eyes and head from the sun - as well as covering up that bald spot with a thick head of hair. Infinitely more stylish than a baseball cap (although your fellow golfers may not agree).
Number six Top_Ten_Wacky_Products_6 Silly Golf Covers From animals to dustbins and boots to football colours, there really is a head cover to suit any and every golfer. Choose something classic and simple or go completely outrageous: these make great gifts for the golfer in your life, too.
Number seven Top_Ten_Wacky_Products_7 All In One Golfers Tool There are several different varieties of these available, but we love the swiss army style design that incorporates several useful tools into one small, keyring-sized gadget. Instead of fishing around in one pocket for a pen and another for a divot repair tool or a spare tee,  grab yourself one of these and you've got everything neatly in one place.
Number eight Top_Ten_Wacky_Products_8 Flashing Golf Ball For those of you who like to play a round after sunset, the flashing golf ball is a necessity. Never lose your ball in the dark again.
Number nine Top_Ten_Wacky_Products_9 Launchpad Tour Simulator Promising "ultra-realistic gameplay", you can now hit a few rounds without even leaving your home. It's available for Windows, Mac and PS3, so you can feel like you have played some of the world's most impressive courses. Of course, it'll never replace the real experience of getting out into the great outdoors, though.
Number ten Top_Ten_Wacky_Products_10 Uro Club Bizarre, weird and slightly disgusting, we can't help wondering what was going through the inventor's head when he designed this particular golf club. Described as a "portable urinal", a small reservoir in the handle allows you to go discreetly when there are no trees or bushes around. Personally, I can't see how clipping the "privacy towel" to the club and relieving yourself into the grip can really be that discreet, but maybe that's just me.
