For only $18,000

>> December 12, 2009

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.

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

>> February 28, 2009



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!

TaylorMade's Neat Custom Fitting Web Site

>> March 3, 2008

TaylorMade.com has a very slick (but who knows how good) custom fitting application on their web site. They let you plug in tons of stuff like typical distance, shaft type and accuracy (you drop balls on a fairway, err, in the rough). Once you finish, you click the recommendation button and voila.. time to buy a new driver!

The site is suggesting that I get the r7 CGB Max, 9.5 loft. Yea, not this year (unless TaylorMade wants to be my first sponsor and sends me one)...



Loft
r7 CGB MAX players who generate average distance with their driver typically achieve the best results in terms of distance with a medium-to-high degree of loft, which delivers the optimum combination of high launch angle and low spin-rate.

Shaft
The shaft and its specific performance characteristics are recommended based on your swing style and skill level; on your current shaft's flex and weight; and on your current driver distance, trajectory and shot-shape.

Shaft Flex
Based on your current shaft's flex and on the trajectory, shot-shape and distance delivered by your current driver; this recommended flex will offer you the optimum combination of clubhead speed, control and feel.

Shaft Weight
Based on your current shaft's flex and on the trajectory, shot-shape and distance delivered by your current driver; this recommended flex will offer you the optimum combination of clubhead speed, control and feel.

This club is $299 at Golfsmith... maybe next year.
