@DennisG2014 Outstanding - I am sure you can press a button and blame the confounded thing that’s got a mind of its own and you can’t do a thing with it.
@Jonas4321 I had a golf buddy who would do that all the time - the guy was a serious chatterbox anyway - he never shut up, so it was almost believable when he’d do it and then say, “oops, sorry!”
But sometimes his timing was way too perfect to believe it was an accident.
If this thing could be programmed to only speak during someone’s backswing, I’d buy one and clip it to his belt.
@DennisG2014 Yeah, we had one of those on our church league. Not only would he talk during other people’s swing, he would regularly walk from his ball to the hole to estimate the distance. From 150 yards out, even. He once took 4 hours to play 9 holes. AND he always used a cart because he said he had gout. Checked all the boxes for a-hole and then a few more for good measure.

No, that was the previous offering. But maybe the two could work together to give a metric on alcohol adjusted golf suckiness.
I suspect my golf skill would not vary with the amount of alcohol imbibed, FWIW.

Bots don’t play golf.
@BarnacleBobbie
@BarnacleBobbie @DennisG2014 Yikes. @mediocrebot might be on to something.
Does it work for mini golf?
@riceatusc They have a smaller version for that.
Oh, wow. I want twelve.
@gertiestn You need 18 for a full course.
Over an hour to stare at this electronic caddy? It damn well better tell me what club to use…
/giphy wrong-club-choice
Where’s the “Meh” button when I want it?
@brakeforbeer literally right beside the purchase option
Hard pass… next…
So what is Talking Golf? Something like Fantasy Football?
Is it programmed to talk during your opponent’s backswing?
Because that’d be really useful.

For once something golf related! Unfortunately I already have a golf gps watch so I can’t use this. Maybe some balls or something?
@akparker777 Are you asking for a pair? Sorry, this is Meh… and that’s a personal problem.
Also, does it tell me I suck at golf and should find another hobby? Or does it count how many beers I have had?
@akparker777 That’s what friends are for. Well, at least that’s what mine were for.
@DennisG2014 friends? Never heard of them…

Wow, lots of these will be showing up in the IRKs!
Anyone have a suggestion why this would be useful for anything besides stick-and-ball?
@goldnectar If you are lonely, I suppose. It would give something to listen to as it talked to you. Might not be a great conversation, though.
I see there are lots of golfers on meh!
