STROKE OF THE DAY |
"Golf is a game whose aim it is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose." |
-Winston Churchill |

A BOLD STATEMENT If you like sticking out in the crowd on a golf course, get a pair of slacks from Loud Mouth Golf. Who can forget Johnny Miller and his shocking red pants and white leather belt? What about Jack Nicklaus with his plaid polyester Sans-A Belts? Visit loudmouthgolf.com to see pants in colors Mother Nature didn’t know existed. The slacks sell for $85, shorts are $70. Besides, it’s not just Ian Poulter and the new-wave, fancy-pants Europeans who like making fashion statements. I own two of the three styles on this page! HELP THAT DOESN’T TALK BACK Do you hate wet grips during early morning rounds? Are you tired of losing clubs or leaving them behind? EZ Caddie can help. Put it in your bag and you’ve got a bag stand anywhere you go. It might not be able to read the green, give you a high five or offer club selection advice, but like any good caddie, it’ll take care of your clubs. EZ Caddie costs around $30. Check it out at ezcaddie.com. MAKE A NAME FOR YOURSELF Tiger Woods has golf balls emblazoned with TW on the dimples. But what about the rest of us? GreensKeeper’s ProID can help you get the word out. Insert your initials into the polymer frame to make a perfect monogram on your golf balls. The ProID (available at Roger Dunn Golf Shops) comes with two sets of letters and a Sharpie marker, and it retails for $8. If you happen to be in the rough at a course in the San Fernando Valley and find a ball with ET on it, we haven’t been invaded by extra-terrestrials. It’s mine. — Eric Tracy |
