Why why why would you buy this

[Grumps]

Just been reading a review on the new blunt golf umbrella which the super caddy (mr Williams ) had a hand in the design . It's not got sharp corners which the claim can be used in force 11 wind up to 74 mph (like you would try to use an umbrella in that never mind play golf .
But the best part is its price.

£74. FOR AN UMBERELLA !!!!!!

Won't see many of these in golf bags me thinks

Certainly won't be seeing one in my bag at that price and Stevies involvements got to put people off rather than appeal of late?

Judging by the number of players who shell out vast amounts on remote control leccy trolleys that ramble all over the place apart from the right direction, I guess someone will pay £74 for a brolly.

In fact, I've placed my money on which member will be one of the first.
And it's not me

Purchased! Can't wait to get out there in 74mph winds to test it out!

Looking forward to reading the review...

Were you influenced by 'up himselfs' endorsment?

Very much so, the man is God as far as I'm concerned, why would I not want to buy a £74 umbrella endorsed by the greatest golfer that ever lived.....sorry I mean Caddy.

Do they do it in orange to match the Amps?

It's an extra £40 to have it in orange.

Does it have a reefing system for winds over 50mph? If not I think the HSE should be informed as it might not conform to 'elf & safety legislation:rofl:.

I don't think it's that expensive.

My boss paid £40 for a standard dual canopy srixon one this week at a clubs pro shop, and generally a decent brolly is £30-40 depending where you shop.

So.... It's twice as expensive as the average price, but it only needs too last twice as long as a normal unit to pay for itself

My wife would lop my nuts off if I bought one......that being said, I wouldn't want to give that man any of my money! He doesn't need it anyway, he's New Zealands richest sportsman and biggest ****

I quite fancy one of them - for free!

My R11 umbrella is pretty good in the wind as it has some vents to let the wind escape.
Never used it on the course but great for keeping me dry when I forgot my coat during the week.

 

[Deleted Member 1156]

I've ordered 2!! Now I can play in force 22 winds (148mph!!) woohooooo :rofl:

 

[Deke]

Easier to use in the high street without the fear of poking eyes out too! Sign me up for two!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Do you really believe blunt corners are going to make a huge difference and if so why hasn't someone thought of this before.I'll stick to my TM version and take my chances thanks Steve

 

[munro007]

I would buy one, might ask Scott to get me one.

 

[Oddsocks]

Just don't do a review :rofl:

 

[USER1999]

Just bought a titleist one to replace my ten year old macgregor. £32 every ten years is hardly breaking the bank. Can't justify more for a brolly. Not even I can do that.

Rick will get one though, possibly several in different colours to match his outfits.

 

[SocketRocket]

I guess it must come with tent pegs and a GPS for finding your way home after the flight.

 

[SocketRocket]

Only a complete idiot would consider paying that much for an umbrella.

I am thinking of getting one though.
