Would This Count As A 15th Golf Club?

Just when golf courses thought they had a handle on slow play, along comes the UroClub, a rather stupid invention that gives golfers another excuse to hold up play while they strap on a towel, unscrew a cap and stand their looking like a dork. I think I have seen just about everything that calls itself a golf club but this takes the cake. A golf club you pee in?

I was on the golf course the other day when one of our foursome mentioned this device. We had been having a couple of cold ones and there wasn't a tree in sight, if you know what I mean. So what did we do, you ask? We waited till we could take care of the problem. But we did wonder, would this golf "club" be considered a 15th club in your bag for tournament play?

Later, I looked it up on the Internet and there it was, the UroClub, a great addition to the golf clubs in your bag and a golf club you can't do without according to their pitch. Just whip this thing out when you have to wiz, arrange the towel and away you go. Gives the word "shank" new meaning.

The company claims that it looks like a "regular" golf club and appears like you are just addressing your ball while you urinate into the shaft of this so-called golf club. Yeah, right! I have seen fat putter grips but fat golf shafts?

Any "golfer" who says this thing looks like a normal golf club ain't much of a golfer and I wouldn't want to be seen on the golf course with one. My buddies wouldn't be able to swing a golf club, they would be laughing too hard.

The company's video demonstrates the product and you can see for yourself what a joke it is. I would only buy this thing as a gag gift for a golf buddy but after watching the video, their price of $49.95 is a bit much for a golf gag. Personally, I think this is one "golf club" you don't need and golf courses should ban it.

I did check out their website and they have reduced their price to $24.95, I guess sales of this so called golf club lookalike have been "soft".

I tried to buy one so that I could pull it out on the golf course next time I play as a stupid golf gag but their security certificate has expired which means your credit card payment is not secure. But for a good laugh here is their ridiculous video.
