Command Q4 Fairway Woods

Designed to complement the Command Q4 Driver, the Q4 Fairway Woods feature a low profile design with added weights in the rear of the club. These weights are positioned to help improve trajectory while still maintaining distance.

With a classic look and feel, these clubs offer many of the features and benefits of the TaylorMade R5 Fairway Woods at a fraction of the price.

As with all Pinemeadow clubs, they come with a 30 day playability guarantee.

Its not directly related to golf, but I found what could turn out to be a very useful website: Retail Me Not. It’s a catalog/search engine for online coupons. Its “collaborative” in that it encouages people to enter coupons that they have encountered. I found a 15% off coupon for Dick’s Sporting Goods.

IZZO No Bogey Putting Cup

Here in Michigan, the greens are the first thing to shut down as the weather turns bad. No greenskeeper wants to take a chance on injuring the grass. My home course remains open year round, but the temporary greens go in place in November. So while I can continue to work my swing, my putting suffers.

Fortunately, there are lots of indoor putting solutions.

The Izzo No Bogey Putting Cup is made of soft rubber and has a lip that’s supposed to simulate more accurately a real cup. It’s supposed to get you to hit the ball square to the hole. The interior of the cup has specially designed “teeth” that hold the ball in.

A man who drove his truck into a golf course pond was rescued by a maintence worker equipped with a 3-Iron.

I knew a 3-iron had to be useful for something. It’s certainly not any good for hitting a golf ball.

And you thought alligators on Florida courses were a problem.

VISIBALL Glasses

For me, one of the most frustraing things in golf is losing a ball in plain sight. You know the feeling: you hit a nice drive and watch it trickle a little off the fairway. Then you get to the spot and for the life of you, you can’t find the ball. So you have to take a stroke and distance penalty, ruining the hole, and possibly the round.

Visiball promises to help you find those wayward balls. The lens is designed to filter out the greens of the course, making the white ball stand out. Of course, it also will make any bits of paper or white leaf undersides stand out, so it’s not a perfect solution.

But I’m seriously thinking about getting one of these. If it saves me even one stroke and distance penalty a round (or saves me five minutes looking for a ball), it’ll be worth it.

I think I’d like these even better, though if there was a flip version. Then I could attach them to my sun glasses and flip them up and down as needed.

Or would that look totally geeky? No matter. Everyone already knows that I’m a geek.
