‘Tis the Season for a Giveaway!

December 24, 2013 | By Golf Stinks | Leave a Comment

With the season of giving upon us, we here at GolfStinks have decided to do a little giving ourselves.

Over the past year, we’ve given away a plethora of golf-related products, but we’ve never held a giveaway where more than one person wins at a time – but that’s all going to change today!

We have three items to give away:

golf genie pocket guideGift #1: The Golf Genie Pocket Guide
Small enough to fit in your golf bag and easy enough to understand; this pocket guide will help shave strokes off your score while you’re on the course! See our review here: http://golfstinks.com/blog/2010/06/golf-genie-is-genius_05.html

golf_excuse3Gift #2: The Golf Excuse Handbook: A Duffers Survival Guide
Learn how to lower your handicap without changing anything about your swing! This hilarious (and somewhat ingenious) book will teach you how to save-face with your golf buddies just by utilizing the fine art of excuse-making. See our review here: http://golfstinks.com/blog/2012/11/book-review-golf-excuse-handbook.html

GolfStinks_Logo_Golf_ShirtGift #3: A GolfStinks Golf Shirt
This 50/50 blend polo with embroidered GolfStinks logo on the left chest is the perfect conversation starter out on the course! The shirt retails for $30USD, but can be yours for free! Full details here: http://golfstinks.com/blog/product/golfstinks-logo-shirt

 

How to enter and win: Head over to our Facebook page (facebook.com/golfstinks) and comment on (not just “Like”) the wall post “‘Tis the Season for a Giveaway”  – that’s it! We’ll choose three winners at random and the first winner has his/her choice of one of the three items. The second winner will chose between the two remaining items, while the third and final winner will receive the last remaining item.

If you do any online golf betting, you’ll know the odds of winning things on the internet are slim. But with it being Christmas and us giving away three prizes, I’d say your chances of winning have just increased exponentially!

Good luck and Happy Holidays from GolfStinks!

Golfstinks.com Open Book Quiz

February 24, 2012 | By Pete Girotto | Leave a Comment

As you probably already know, golfstinks.com is very proud of it’s glossary. So proud in fact we really enjoy sharing it with our readers. That said, let’s test your knowledge on what we have worked so hard at compiling and creating for you.

All you have to do is guess the correct glossary entry. We provide the definition you provide the right golfstinks.com glossary term. It’s as simple as that. Now, as the title invokes, this is an open book test. Well, more of an open internet test. Feel free to use whatever means necessary to get the right answer. In other words…cheat, you do it on the course anyway.

Submit your answers to info@golfstinks.com and we will randomly select a reader with the correct answers. The winner will get a Golf Genie Practice Drills Pocket Guide! A $15 dollar value!

Let’s get started:

1. when the score one puts down is somehow mysteriously lower than what they actually got (can be applied to either one particular hole or to an entire round).

2. a golf course where the holes are so close together and/or the players so bad, you’re always ducking for cover from stray golf balls.

3. while putting, when the ball circles the hole before dropping into the cup.

4. the act of hitting the ball to the extreme left and then hitting it to the extreme right on the very next shot, especially if the act is done several times in unison (left, right, left, right, forward…march)!

5. the person (usually female) that drives the food cart around on a golf course to sell beer, water and snacks to the golfers.

Contest ends March 2, 2012. Good Luck!

If after this little exam you are inspired and feel you have a glossary suggestion worthy of our Average Joe Golf Glossary, submit the term and definition HERE. In the event we accept your entry and use it in our glossary, you will win a Golf Genie Tee to Green Pocket Guide as well as go down in history as part of the coolest golf site!

Hit’em long…yell FORE!

iPad Case Helps Improve Your Golf Game

June 22, 2011 | By Greg D'Andrea | Leave a Comment

Back in January of 2010, I posted about how devices like the iPhone and iPad can help you improve your game while you’re actually out on a golf course (unlike during other sports, like softball or basketball).

Well, a new iPad case helps you do just that…but even better. The MyPadLife is extremely durable, protects your iPad and is designed to accompany you on the go. The case actually has adjustable nylon straps that are meant to secure your iPad to a treadmill, the back of a car’s headrest, or even a golf cart! Even better, the MyPadLife includes a strap to hang your iPad from nearly anywhere.

I tested-out the MyPadLife this past weekend at the driving range in conjunction with the Golf Genie Pocket Guide App (see photo at top) – I have to say, I never would have thought of bringing my iPad to the course with me before this case. But the construction is so good, I wasn’t apprehensive at all about it falling off my golf bag. It’s definitely a cool and functional case to tote around your iPad in – be it at the gym, on a road trip or on the golf course.

But beyond the product itself, the case’s inventor has a great story. This guy was young and career-oriented when he got the idea for a case that would allow you to take your iPad to the gym and workout with it. He quit his job in New York City, designed a prototype and then raised ten grand to mass produce them. Even better, he’s a golfer and wanted the ability to bring his iPad with him to the golf course! Check out his video below…

You gotta admire his entrepreneurial attitude! And being the good-guy that he is, Saad is giving us another MyPadLife to giveaway for free to one lucky Golfstinks fan! Just make sure you’ve “liked” our Facebook page and stay tuned there for details!

If you’re a follower of the Golf Stinks blog, you know we don’t review products all that often, but when we do, it’s because it’s something we can stand behind. If you own an iPad, you should own this case.
