Golf for the deaf
Golf club manufacturers are in trouble. About 6 years ago they reached the absolute peak of their possible performance within the rules of the game. Head size, material weight, composition have all been tweaked and peaked. Like the last electron restricting Moore’s law from continuing, golf club development is at its zenith.
But those crafty kids at the golf companies aren’t done and dusted. They have at least one little gem up their sleeve.
Apparently the humble drive can make you deaf. The “sonic boom” from a modern day driver connecting with the ball is a clear and present danger.
Never fear, Callaway has developed the new FITQ driver has the added Q benefit. Q for quiet.
This will do me, one of the best marketing ploys I have seen in some time.
I recently played a game of golf using my 15 year old metal driver and found it difficult to hit a decent drive (more than likely due to skill). However I made the decision to blow the budget on a Taylor Made r7 limited driver (Sergio Garcia Spec) with all the bells and whistles. I played another game and while I am still rather rubbish at golf I did feel the drives I hit solidly were far better than would have been with the old driver. Now a few days later the golf companies are telling me my new driver is no good and may make me deaf.
I have put my order in for the Sergio Garcia spec ear plugs with the local golf store and have my name on the short list to gain access to the new r7 Silent when it goes to market…. Thank goodness.
I love the sound of hitting a nice drive off the tee. It’s been a while though.
Haven’t seen much golf on TV lately Velcro?
They don’t have tvs in taxis.
SJ, this is your best post ever……where do they come up with this shit…..
Normally it’s the swearing that hurts my ears…..and the yelling of ‘FOUR!”
I didnt belive you till I read that article on news.com. This is a april fools joke a bit early isnt it?
It is all true. I can’t believe it either!
You’re right IASM they don’t have TVs in taxis….very observant
Don’t you remember, i sit on the couch at your mums place while the b!tch cooks me dinner.
Poor old Tiger Woods might go deaf. Who cares! It is unlikely that a one off noise heard a few times a day can cause damage. I guess its a bit like shooting a gun then?
Pardon?
Very funny iamasmartman
I heard this a few months ago and thought it sounded a little silly bit of fluff but it is in the paper now. Some of those clubs do make a real slap.
go deaf at golf or go deaf at home from the wife and kids …..deaf is deaf
Wifeless, how insensitive is your wife??? Can’t she take the blokes she’s banging somewhere else so you don’t have to listen to her loud moaning!!
Did anyone else read the other more robust study that concluded that spending your saturdays at the TAB, drinking Rum & Coke & listening to ACDC sends you dumb?
Goodbye Wifeless! I doubt you’ll bounce back like the Skunk has….
I’m predicting you’ll go the way of the other weaklings who dared to share my dance floor with me!!!!
Iamagayboy.com thank your sister for the cookies but your mother is a better root. Hope you let your island bum boy down easy when you finished your holiday must have been a tough break up for you with all the bitterness you have been displaying lately but don’t worry about it he will allready have a new boyfriend by now and you are only distant memory by now. Marti Gra is just around the corner so dust off the chaps and get the body back in shape, a good looking successfull man like you won’t stay single in the gay scene for long.
Iamagayboy.com double posting again are we thought you were against that?
I’m not gay.
IASM, I knew you were gay the moment I tasted sh*t on your d*ck………..
By that logic then you must be gay!
Try again tiny Tigress!
Wow, you are quick mate…………..you didn’t deny your gayness again though which makes me think you are gay……you fell for my cunning trick….loser
Tigress you are backpedalling faster than Andrew Hilditch…..
Nice try!
You are just posting to cover up your gayness…nice try
Let it go….I’m NOT interested. Wifeless has already tried all his charms to get me to come across. All to no avail. You are no better than him, so forget it!!
You just can’t admit it when your whipped
If you say so. I admire your stance.
Tiger, dipstick admires your stance. Dipsytick – Is that when Tiger is doing you doggy style? That sounds gay to me.
Tiger is not gay – He is the one giving. It is only the receiver that is gay which appears to be you dipstick.
Skunk, you are now on the record stating that a male who performs oral sex on another male is NOT a homosexual!! I rest my case.
PS: I enjoyed your doggy style quip. Surprisingly clever & funny!
