Teeing off on a

[Tashyboy]

Polo. Talking to some guys after me round and a fellow pp was on about wet tees in the winter and how he cannot get the ball the right height. Anyway a guy said he uses polo mints. We all had a good laugh and his PP said he does. Now tashyboy knows a wind up when he sees one, but has anyone used them. Me am an extra strong mints guy.

i knew a girl called polo,she made a mint ..............................better not finish that as i wouldnt be around for a while.

as for using a polo to tee your ball ,then yeh ive heard about it before ,way back in the seventies.

i like a fruit pastel for my 3 wood off the tee, not the black or red ones obviously, just green and orange

Pfft, Marshmallows = 4 yards longer :fore:

I have used rolos to good effect, you can stack them easier than polos to the required height

I have used polo mints off par 3 winter mats for a few seasons now, I got ridiculed at first now quite a few of my PP's either nick mine or have there own

Fruit pastels are easy to get a needle through, for when you want to string them together.............err. .......ChrisD told me 😂😇

I'm looking for an extra 10 yards - is there any difference in friction between regular polos and sugar free ones?

I tend to use these but they taste horrible and are really chewy

sugar free are better, suck them first they become more responsive.

 

[Jasonr]

Do you re-use the polos or is it a new polo each hole?

Surely they would break quite easily every time?

There's a reason that there is exactly 18 polos in a packet

Pro tip right there, thank you! 👍

You can yacht varnish them first to harden them but its a real bugger if you forget and start sucking one. :thup:

You need to have a custom fitting session to find out.

If you hit the ball 1st then take your divot they are fine. It’s only when you hit ground and ball together is the likelyhood your mint will break. Don’t fall for this varnish rubbish. Just practice hitting ball 1st.
