Golfing from a Ski Jump

Golfing from a Ski Jump

The How Ridiculous guys returned to the Utah Olympic Park to see what else they could roll down the snow-free ski jump. After an attempt to score some basketball hoops and a bottom-of-the-hill round of dodgeball, they played a little mini golf – first with individual putts, then with a cascade of 2000 balls.

Discommon Golf Divot Tool

Discommon’s elegantly sculptural take on the classic golf divot tool and ball marker combo is as solid and aesthetically pleasing as their bottle opener. The magnetic ball marker detaches with a smile-inducing “No Gimmes” reminder, while the smooth back of the single-prong divot tool encourages players to “drain it,” i.e., sink the putt.

Extreme Golf – Utah Style

Extreme Golf – Utah Style

A round of golf can be pretty challenging depending on your skill and the course’s difficulty, aka slope rating. How Ridiculous went for the maximum slope rating by building a painfully difficult golf hole that requires a hike to the top of a rocky mesa in Utah in order to tee off. They tried their luck with exercise balls, basketballs, and golf balls.

Carving a 12-Foot Alligator Sculpture

Carving a 12-Foot Alligator Sculpture

The TPC Louisiana golf course is home to numerous alligators. Among them is a three-legged beast nicknamed “Tripod.” Blake McFarland was commissioned by Zurich to immortalize the big guy. Like some of his other sculptures, he carved Tripod’s body from foam, cast a fiberglass shell, and covered it with recycled tires.

How Golf Clubs Are Made

How Golf Clubs Are Made

Process X takes us inside Japan’s Miura Golf Co. to see how the factory produces heads for golf clubs.
