Get Your Hands On Them: The World's Most Expensive Golf Clubs - Forbes

In the game of golf, talent alone won’t get the ball very far. While spiked shoes, collared shirts and cigars are synonymous with the game, all you really need on the course is a club. And while there’s no promising that using a more expensive club will lead to a lower scorecard, there’s not harm in checking out the world’s most luxurious options, is there?

It’s hard to top Honma Golf’s Five Star Set in any model (clubs start at $5,400 each). The company, over half a century old, uses the finest materials and hand-crafts each club made to order in Japan, which explains the two month turn around time. But the wait just might be worth it, if 24-karat gold-plating and Pt1000 platinum is your thing. Honma’s 14 piece five star sets, including the bag and accessories, hover around $76,000. A five star club, in Honma terms, means that it was produced by the hands of the world’s most senior club makers, the Takumi craftsmen.

Maruman Golf’s Majesty Prestigio Super7 Driver ($2,500) is also Japanese-made. The club features a grade 5 (the purest) titanium top, with a face design meant to lower the center of gravity for the swinger. The head is also thicker and larger than previous models, which helps the hitter project a low-spinning ball. A laser engraving on the club face not only adds an element of visual appeal, but also helps to regulate the ball’s spin rate upon contact in rainy conditions. Lightweight with long shafts, Majesty Prestigio Super7 clubs are also available in ladies’ models.

Michael Barth’s Golden Putter brings gold to the green (starting price of $2,940). Made in Germany, the basic 24-karat gold plated model of the putter can be engraved and customized with precious stones; the sky is the limit. The design for this club took nearly four years to develop, as Barth was concentrated on making sure the club’s design quality be up to parâ€"pun intendedâ€"with its appearance.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking two aerial liquitabs and a hot whit

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin Montgomeri
