    Weed Whacking Golf Driver

    Weed Whacking Golf Driver

    —This is the golf driver with a built-in grass trimmer, ideal for surreptitiously improving one’s lie. Affectionately called the Weed Whacking Golf Driver, it’s destined for use by friendly foursomes that often find themselves in the rough. 

    two thumb buttons built into the handle activate the trimmer for a quick clearing of obstructive grass

    The club looks like an oversized driver that fits into any golf bag, yet a simple flick of a button on its plastic bottom flips open the club’s bottom to reveal a single-string trimmer. Requiring only the semblance of a square stance and proper grip for operation, two thumb buttons built into the handle activate the trimmer for a quick clearing of obstructive grass.

    It has a single string trimmer that probably won’t work to take out any serious weeds.  If the grass is just getting a little tall, though,  it’ll work just fine.  In order to keep the club powered it’ll need 6 AA batteries.  It measures 39″ in length and weighs around a pound.  You can purchase it for $39.95 through Hammacher Schlemmer.
