Not only do these golf balls feel like you have hit the Elgin Marbles when you strike them cleanly, they have the aerodynamic properties of a bag of cement.

Every year golf technology seems to move at a faster and faster pace. It barely seems a few years ago people were marvelling at drivers with metal heads, now we have them forged from titanium, attached to shafts so flexible they could be Olympic gymnasts. Like computer technology, golf manufacturers are always searching for the next big thing and here are some items that may well be top of golfers present list for 2012.
It’s distinctive white club head has made the TaylorMade R11 the most eye-catching club used on tour this season. With so many pros deciding that the R11 not only looks great, but offers them additional length and distance from the tee, not to mention greater accuracy, with Luke Donald, Dustin Johnson, Justin Rose, Martin Kaymer and Sergio Garcia all using the new driver, it seems likely that many weekend golfers will soon follow in 2012.

For some, the words ‘golf’ and ‘fashion’ often imply a contradiction in terms, eliciting scorn and mockery in equal proportion. Mention the fact that you’re looking for something stylish to wear on the course for Christmas, and the reaction of non-golfers is likely to be along the lines of “Plus-fours and gaiters, then?”
But how things have moved on. Bubba Watson wore golfing camouflage trousers during this year’s US Open, raising awareness for American troops abroad, while Brian Gay and Kip Henley were pretty in pink.
