Flip Flops For Golfing

Ok, so I know Dads don't always have the best fashion sense. I'm sure most of them don't even care about fashion and it's all about comfort. Well, here's an idea that should make you feel pretty comfortable. The Golf Gator Flip Flops!

Now, I can't see myself ever wearing something like this on the greens. I'm sure I'll get snickers and whispers when I walk by. I can wear vintage style pants, Irish golfers cap, plaid pants and anything the golfers wore in past few decades, but I just can't wear these flip flops. I'm not sure if my golfing buddies would even allow me to get in the cart with them!

If none of this bothers you, then buy all means, you should grab a pair. I saw these over at the Sharper Image for $49.95.

How cool would it be to have the actual official World Cup soccer ball from Adidas? Behold……Jabulani. By sheer number of fans alone, I’m sure soccer fans (or football to the rest of the world outside the US) out number any sports. Passion? One of the most passionate! How about getting the official ball for this passionate fan?

From Adidas:

• JABULANI has a futuristic texture with fantastic grip, giving players full control over the ball under all weather conditions
• Comprising only eight, completely new thermally bonded 3-D panels, which for the first time are spherically moulded, the ball is perfectly round and even more accurate than ever before
