Uroclub is an accessory for your bag that looks like a club but is designed by a practicing uroligist to allow golfers to, ahem, relieve themselves on the course without exposing one’s self. It’ll gives you the self assurance to stay on the course, both in the front and back nine!
This $49.99 accessory is designed to resemble a 7 iron and it comes with the privacy shield (aka ‘towel’) so for all intents and purposes the group in front or behind you may not realize you’re emptying your bladder. Instead it’ll have the appearance of inspecting your club or taking a practice swing if you think you can hold it in there while swinging away.
The twist-on cap’s seal better be tight to keep it from draining when you put it back in the bag with your real clubs.
Here’s the TV advert:
Golf Gators is a golf shoe company that is innovating and I love that in a company. They describe themselves as a company that wants to make golf even more fun and they don’t take themselves too seriously.
They are definitely proving both points by their recent announcement of the Spackler golf sandals. So I guess hippies can now also join in the fun enjoyed by the old boy’s network for generations.
There’s two interesting things about the Spackler. It has removable/replaceable spikes. It has holes in the heel that can hold 1 or 2 tees ("Golf Gators Golf Tee Rocket Launchers"). This last would be great if you have no pockets to keep said tees.
Yes, if you get these for Christmas your golf buddies will make fun of you next Spring (it even says so in the FAQ). Seriously though, I’ll be sticking to my Footjoys, but with Spacklers wearing an MSRP tag of US$39.99 and multiple colors and sizes to choose from for both men and women, if it tickles your fancy then why not get a pair when they’re available in a few months.
Here’s an interview at the Golf Gator booth from the 2008 PGA Expo Las Vegas.
