Golf Club Boom

While I’m not a golf player (I stick with that “Golf is a good walk ruined” aphorism) I found this story on the BBC to be quite interesting.

Basically, a new generation of “thin-faced titanium” clubs make a noise on contact with the golf-ball that has been measured at up to 130dB . That’s loud – and it’s been found as potentially causing hearing damage in some golfers.

    The clubs may be loud, but surely it’s the clothing that’s truly deafening?

    Excellent, Lionel. I was just going to say that some golfers deserve all they get. I tactfully included the word ‘some’ in case any lovely golfers might be reading.
