 Slash your way out of the rough Hitting your ball into really deep rough isn't a problem with Big Daddy on the scene. The driver, which is really a weed whacker, is powered by six AA batteries in its 42-inch shaft. Just swivel the sole plate, push a button on the grip and the deep rough is gone. It's illegal, of course, but it's great for a laugh. Big Daddy sells for $45 and can be ordered at BigDaddyDriver.com, where they have a video of the product doing its thing. Turning golf upside down The animal collection at Butthead Covers is either very funny, mildly funny or completely offensive. It just depends on who you ask. For me, the entire line is a hoot. Just in time for the holidays, Butthead Covers has gone seasonal with the addition of upside down Santa and Snowman to its Bootyful People collection. Both sell for $25. You'll find Butthead Covers at Roger Dunn Golf Shops, but if you want to see the entire collection, visit buttheadcovers.com. All the fun of tinted hair without the fuss Credit Englishman Ian Poulter with bringing the multi-colored hair look to the European and PGA tours. Now you too can have frosted locks sticking out of your golf visor without the fuss of hair dye, thanks to FlairHair. It's a good guess that these hairy hats are more popular among golfers with receding hairlines, but let's face it, on bad hair days, don't you reach for a golf cap? Well, now you can reach for one with hair. FlairHair visors come in red, white and black, with platinum gray, frosted, blond or black hair. The visors sell for $25. Check them out at flair-hair.com or at Roger Dunn Golf Shops. A laugh-out-loud read I've heard and told a number of golf yarns, but this little black book of golf stories might be the funniest golf read ever. "Golfoholics: The Front Nine" by Chase Balata chronicles the misadventures of two golf junkies on and off the course. I just wish Skully and Banes - the two we follow as they pitch and putt their way through their appointed rounds - were in my Saturday group. Visit golfoholics.com, read the first chapter, and I promise it will grab you by your Titleists and won't let go. It's $10 well spent. Take the 19th hole with you If you want to be more popular at your club, this should do the trick. The Electronic Drink Caddie is a discreet way to enjoy hot or cold drinks from your golf bag. Looking like a regulation driver, the secret is the one-button, battery-operated dispenser in a side pocket of your bag. The pump connects to a 54-ounce plastic cooler that will maintain the temperature of your favorite beverage for up to five hours. I'll drink to that! The Electronic Drink Caddie is available online from Brookstone (brookstone.com) and sells for $100. Get more kicks out of your game Some days, the best club in your bag is your foot wedge. Instead of fighting the urge, be bold and try one of these: • Foot Wedge: This simple slip-on gives the side of your foot enough loft to get the ball airborne. It sells for $8 at Roger Dunn Golf Shops. • Foot-Wedge: This usable club has an aluminum head shaped like a bare foot in a number of colors. You can order the Foot-Wedge for $30 through Charter Golf.
