If you're going to lose a golf ball -- and you are, let's face it -- it might as well be an official Guinness golf ball.
And if you're going to smash to smithereens little bits of tree (aka tees) in the vain hope of driving the soon-to-be-lost Guinness ball 200 yards down the middle of the fairway, then make the tees official Guinness ones too.
Why? That's a very good question. Some people care about this kind of thing. Golf is one of those games which divides the haves from the have-nots. If you're in the habit of shelling out serious coin on official Guinness products, chances are you're in the have-nots category.
But you still will have the Guinness golf gear. On the odd occasion you land a long shot on the green, the Guinness pitch mark repairer will come in handy. Unless you throw it into the bushes in disgust during a fruitless 20-minute search for the last of the lost balls, that is.
However frustrating the experience gets and however doomed the set may ultimately be, you can at least say you once owned the set. And on the 19th tee, you can drown your sorrows with a pint of the real thing. Golf. What bliss it is.
