OK, having a competition to find the most ridiculous gofing accessory. Here's your starter for ten(or more).

It's called the "Golf Ball Mate".
What would you do if one of your mates turned up on the 1st tee with one of these?

Golf ball monogrammer - do you really want to spend ages imprinting your new Titleist with indentations (3 letter maximum) when a marker pen does the job perfectly well in about a 100th of the time!

"YOU CAN now drive the golf ball farther and hit your irons closer to the hole! The revolutionary PYROFLITE TM Microwavable Golf Ball Warmer will not only allow you to hit farther BUT will generally improve your overall golf game"...........now where have I heard that before?

Ah. there was a time when the yellow ball was an important part of every golfers supply of balls. They're not so easy to find nowadays, but I do still use them occassionaly in the winter when there's a bit of frost on the gound.

Now the Orange ball, that was a bit silly. If it's snowy enough on the gound to need one of them, it's too snowy to play golf.

Golf ball monogrammer, I dont think is suck a bad idea, marker pens arnt just as tidy. Personal preference that one Id say.
The BigDaddyDriver, hmmm for sale on a site that also sells cock rings, I think that speaks volumes!

Yellow balls, I would never use (I doubt you can get hx tour or pro v1's in florescent yellow!) Though a member of our fourball is now nicknames golden balls as he pulled one out on the first yesterday, it wasnt even that bad a day and still managed to lose one on a riverbank.

I think that any new "invention" is always going to be hard to market as pretty much everything good in golf has been around for years and has been refined year after year.

I've got some rather expensive "don't drop" balls, always lip out. :D

Seriously, i've seen some glow in the dark balls. How long would they last? and what good is seeing the ball in the dark when you can't see your club head, fairway or hole ??????
