What’s the worst golf product you’ve ever bought?

Mine’s this, arrived today:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/14PCS-Go...2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

I’d hoped they would stop bag clatter without having to resort to iron covers. Instead, I’ve got pinched skin, sweating cobs from trying to clip the shafts in, and a frayed bag! Rubbish!

Ps - tried to attach a photo but can’t work out how to do it!

Whatever possessed you? :) The chatter of irons is one of the joys of the game. Scrunching down cockleshell paths in proper spikes at a seaside course with the birdsong and iron chatter as background. Glorious.

I can't seeing anyone bettering (or worsening) these. :)
 
Last month we were booked in for a round at a new course, the weather forecast was looking poor. My mate ordered one of those cheap brolly holders on overnight delivery from Amazon. He uses a bog standard old two wheel trolley (that I gave him actually). So we get to the course and he tries fastening the thing on, but the trolley arm is cylindrical and it won't fasten tight enough to stop it rotating under the weight of the brolly that's in it. Halfway down the first fairway the brolly's already fallen twice so he just gives up and chucks the holder in his bag. ?

A doomed attempt to protect my new clubs! Agree, the sound is lovely but I’m a bit ocd about stuff like this!

Those awful things that are meant to print initials on a ball.

All end up in bin or charity shop.

God, I think I've been bought those twice before. I tried to use one once (was gonna print 'NOB' on some balls I was gifting to a friend for secret Santa) and I couldn't even get the thing to work. Useless, straight in the bin.

We could do a whole thread on those stupid Christmas gifts to be fair but I think it's been done before. Another shocker someone got me was like a belt clip pouch that's meant to hold three golf balls in it. What the hell is the point of that??

The worse product I ever bought myself was probably one of those Dunlop wedges from Sports Direct. Several years ago. I thought £12 to try out a 60° wedge (which I didn't have at the time), why not? Only about four weeks later, I knifed one with it, tossed it down near my bag (just underarm, not a full club toss at all) and the bloody shaft bent in half like it was made of tinfoil. ?

I ordered some wrong hand golf gloves from Amazon by mistake the other day ?

Best thing I ever bought was a wrong hand all weather glove. Drizzly day but not enough for full wet weather gloves; that thing came in so handy!
