Golfers can be a nutty bunch. Not only do we tend to be susceptible to any product that promises to help us improve, we also love to showcase our devotion by buying things that pay homage to the game we love, but perhaps have no useful value.

The golf ball warmer market is admittedly pretty niche, but this product treading into some pretty serious cold-weather golf-nerd territory. Can’t we just agree to stick with pockets and armpits?
