Most ridiculous accessory

[HomerJSimpson]

I rather liked the old orange balls. I also think a decent yellow ball is valuable on frosty mornings although both the orange and yellow were susceptible to being lost amongst leaves at this time of year. Perhaps thats why they died out.

Going O/T a bit, but why is the rough full of dandelions only when you play with a yellow ball? If you play with white, its full of daisies!

Sods law I'm affraid. (Murphy has a lot more laws as regarding fate).

As a point of interest yellow balls stand out much better against the sky than a white ball, yet most of us wouldn't be seen dead using a coloured ball.

In the same way...I mean who in their right mind is going to be caught dead using these new balls that look like bloomin footballs... Unless of course there is something in all the recent hype.

Oh has anyone ever played with a pink ball. My missus has & lent me one once when we were on holiday a few years ago & i fully expected it to be easier to find in the rough, as there wasn't anything pink about. Well there may have not been any pink flowers about that day, but finding a pink ball in the rough less than 6ft from the side of the green was nigh on impossible on the one occasion I bothered trying one. Wont bother again either.

Getting back on topic worst, or should I say most ridiculous accessory has to be electronic golf ball cleaners I mean what's wrong with a towel or even the naff sponge cleaners that was good enough for our grandfathers.

Ah hold that... Ulimate worst accessory is & has to be the brush tee, no competition in my book. looks naff & doesn't work & makes anyone using one look a complete idiot.

compared with this the brush tee is sophisticated technology,

Nipped into JJB today and the youth in charge of the golf department brought a gizmo that's bound to take the golfing world by storm.

It's a tee with a hinge!!!

He extolled the virtues of this "new and clever device which offers less resisitance, therefore longer drives"

Do me a favour!

It's a plastic tee with a spike, quite simply the tee folds on the hinge at impact. What a radical improvement for the game......not!

Titleist are the only ones that make decent ones and then they are PTS ones not Pro V1's.

I saw this thread the other day and thought I had nothing to contribute, compared to what I had seen.

Then in a moment of inspiration I remembered the UROCLUB!

and just to clarify, no I don't have one. I don't mind going in the trees every now and again!

I'd make sure the cap was off and ask him what position I should be adopting at the top of my backswing

This competition has come to it's natural end with Uroclub being the outright winner.
I can't imagine anything else getting close to this.
I would love to see what Duncan Bannatyne and Theo Paphitis would make of it.
