Tour Sticks? Why bother.... Go Daiso!

Tour Sticks aren't cheap in Singapore. Two sticks for about $30. Not sure about the exact price. Will go check it out. But know it's about $30. It's a very useful too especially for alignment. Laying your irons down is good, however I find the iron shaft tapers and occasionally lends to parallax errors. Minute things are magnified in golf.

So the next best thing if Daiso! Go to Daiso and head to the gardening section. You can find the in the Tree Planters/Supports sections, also in a set of two, Green Tour Sticks...LOL. It's about the same length 120cm cf Tour Sticks 46" (116cm) and the thickness is the same. Tour sticks are fiberglass rods, whereas I think the Plant supports are metal centre with a Plastic Coating. Tour sticks are pointed one end (to stick in the ground) and the other end with a rubber cap. The Daiso sticks are also meant to be poked into the ground, however the other end is just a flat end. Another point about the Planter Sticks is that it is meant to blend into the plants and so is a drab green. And this might make the stick less conspicuous especially when laid on the ground for alignment. To overcome it, got some tape from Daiso and wahlah. The colour is changed. I chose yellow. Daiso also has it in green, red and blue too. So $2 for the sticks and $2 for the tape and some manpower we have a nice personalised Tour Stick. Plan to add stickers and logos to it. Ha! Ha! Enjoy! Use the spare change for Beer.

(Don't mind my many gloves, still have a ton more. :-) )
