Every once and while you run across a golf hole and just wonder “was the course architect on dope when he designed this?” I’ve played some holes that just don’t make sense. A 112 yard par 3 at the local municipal course comes to mind. So what’s strange about a short par 3 you ask? Well, you tee off on the side of a cliff for starters.

The Club Caddy™ Review
If “The Club Caddy” sound familiar to you, it’s probably because it’s the creation of inventor David Jones, and was the big winner of The Golf Channel’s “Fore Inventors Only” show last year. David contacted me about checking out his product and I couldn’t resist. Like most of you, I’m down with just about any thing that has to do with golf.
For those of you who haven’t seen the Club Caddy before now, it’s such a simple invention it’s almost ridiculous.
