For only $18,000

We get A LOT of e-mail here at Golf is Hard TV, and usually, the spam and product pitches hit meet our delete button. Mostly.

Sometimes though, we get something that strikes us as funny or out of control enough that we feel the need to share.

So we’re sharing this doozy.

Here’s the basics. For around $18,000 you too can get a “golf car” (please don’t say cart) that has a built-in refrigerator and let’s you customize the color (Can I get mine painted in mud color with flaps?).

Our favorite part of the e-mail is where they compare the golf car(t) to an actual automobile, which for whatever reasons struck us as funny.

Built to the highest standards of the automotive industry The Garia features a double wishbone front suspension similar to those found in sports cars and inspired by Formula 1 cars. The drive train is built by an Italian company that also produces Ducati gearboxes. The aluminum profiles in the frame are made by the same company that supplies aluminum profiles to Aston Martin, Jaguar and Volvo. Hydraulic brakes on all four wheels with discs in the front and drums at the rear. The Garia is manufactured at the Valmet Automotive factory in Finland, manufacturer of the Porsche Cayman and Porsche Boxster.

Silly.

Holy Cow: Nike SQ Dymo Str8-Fit

Imagine to my surprise the e-mail I got from my friends at OOBGolf that I had won something! Not only did I win their Golf Addict monthly prize but the prize turned out to be a Nike SQ Dymo Str8-Fit driver! Schaweetness!

I played a round with it the other day and for starters, it’s a sweet looking club that has an adjustable head. I need to learn more, but the club pro helped me set it to “straight”while I get used to the club.

The other thing about this club is that the shaft is an inch longer than my current driver – which is causing me to slice the ball a bit more than I have been. That said, when I hit it right with this new club… holy cow, it goes far.

If you haven’t yet checked out OOBGolf, be sure to take a peek. There are lots of sites that will help you track scores, but none with a slicker interface and fun charts to play with.

Don’t forget to focus through the ficus.

It doesn’t hurt to have the amazing Sam Jackson voice the commercial either!

Golf is Hard TV – Episode 9 – Sweet Spot Golf Clubs Interview

We’re trying something new in this episode – an audio interview with the creators of “Sweet Spot Golf Clubs.” We did this interview over skype (excuse the poor audio quality).

For some reason, I find the idea of “boutique” golf clubs super interesting and I reached out to them to do an interview for the show. Brian is an ex-Apple guy and I thought it was very apropos that he’s now designing slick golf clubs. You’ll notice on their site and in this epsiosde, that these clubs simply don’t look like anything you’ve ever seen. Brian and Chuck are great guys and recently announced a new relationship with Women’s National Golf School. Learn more at Sweet Spot Golf Clubs.

REMEMBER – there is still time to enter the swing thoughts contest – go here for more information and to enter the contest!

Thanks for watching (listening)!

PS – Golf is Hard TV is still working on our revenue model – but this particular interview and post is all about my personal interest in what Brian and Chuck are doing and creating. If you have an interesting product or want to chat, let me know. I can’t promise you an interview, but want to hear from you!
