FOR A REAL SLICE OF LIFE

Of the hundreds of golf gifts out there, many come with a bathroom connection. For instance, there’s a game called toilet golf, a roll of golf-themed toilet paper, a golf-decorated toilet seat. Thus, the following gift was met with genuine pleasure at GO! simply because it has nothing to do with sitting down.

A tireless PR toiler named Todd Brabender begins with this grabber: “Toby, Here’s some information for an interesting feature.” Todd then introduces the Big Daddy Weed Whacker Golf Club, part driver and part landscaping tool. “A practical product that is as fun to swing around at home as it is on the golf course,” writes Todd. It is, Todd goes on, “a stroke of genius” that can help any golfer “cut back” on the course. “It belongs in every golf bag and every garage — in the world.”

The president of the company that makes the Big Daddy, Todd explains, watched his playing partner hit into jungle-like rough time and again. The president joked, Man, you need a weed whacker golf club!! Happily for every person in the world, we now have one.

Question for Todd: What about a combo sand wedge and squirrel rifle?

Alot of people practice their golf swing in their yard and end up wacking their lawn due to a horrible swing. Whether you are Arnold Palmer or just some backyard hopeful, why not actually trim your lawn while practicing that swing. You know, on purpose and neatly.

The Big Daddy Driver looks like a large golf club, but it’s really a working weed cutting golf driver. It will fit inside your golf bag, so surprise your friends when your ball lands in the rough, by clearing the area and taking a swing. Runs on 6AA batteries.(Not sure how much weed wacking can be done with 6 AA’s, but I guess you’ll find out) Makes a great novelty gift for Christmas and you can be pretty sure they don’t already own one.
