Dubious golf product of the week: Uberlube

May 08, 2015

As you can imagine, the editors at Golf Digest receive countless pitches from entrepreneurs looking for product reviews (free publicity). More often than not, it's an "ingenious" invention that is "sure to delight golfers of all ages and abilities." Personally, I've grown perhaps too cold and quick to dump these in the trash folder. So, in an effort to better fulfill my professional duty to spread golf news, I've decided to regularly showcase the products I find least appealing. Any subsequent reader "click-to-purchases" will just further confirm the shakiness of my ability to judge consumer taste. Think of it like George Costanza vowing to do the exact opposite of his instincts to see where it gets him.

So with that, I offer snippets from my latest email from Uberlube.
