Victorinox Golf Tool
on: June 28, 2014, 07:05:23 PM
Hi all.

Stepdad's birthday is coming up and he golfs every Sunday. Was considering getting him the golf tool but I rarely golf and have never seen the tool in person.

Was hoping to get some feedback on the usefulness of the tool from those who have actually put it to use. Seems cool, but possibly just a gimmick and I would hate to buy him something that just ends up in a drawer.

Well my Father liked his and apparently so did the smurfhole that stole it from his bag.

I gave it too him but I don't play golf so I have no idea if it's any use or not.

Cheers  :cheers:

Of course, now I know what the actual tools do after re-reading the tool description. When it said ball marker, I didn't realize it was a piece you put down to represent where your spot was. I was thinking there was some type of Sharpie or something built into that thing to "mark" which ball was yours. lol!

There is choice in terms of golf centric tools...



From left to right: Wenger 19 Hole Cigar Cutter, Wenger Golf Pro, Wenger Executive Golf Pro.





From left to right: Victorinox Caddy, Victorinox Golfer, Victorinox Golf Tool.



Schrade Ireland Golf Tool. This one has NRA Advertising on it.


The Victorinox Golf Tool usually comes in a very nice kit.



Wenger Executive Pro has a ball marker on the backside of this tiny 65mm knife.





The Victorinox Golfer I have came in a nice for US market kit. It dates to the late 90s. Still if you can find one...very nice.



There is also this Golf Digest multi-tool.

I gave one weird looking Victorinox ones to one of my groomsmen. His only question was, is it legal? It looked nice, fairly easily pocketable.

I never understood what/why this SAK - which I know is a Golfer - had anything at all (eg a tool ???) to do with Golf.

It's only an executive length blade - So smaller even than the regular 91mm blades - So should be OK in most countries - especially on the golf course. People are so paraniod - and regulations ridiculous sometimes.


I gave a modern Vic golfer to my nephew - who is a golfer - He loved it - But I have not had much usage feedback as we live a long way apart.

I personally love the tool - And wish I was a golfer - so I could get one!!
It has one major flaw to me though - No pen for your scores - Why would you have a tp or tw on a golf tool in preference to a pen?? Nuts! ???
I fed this back to Vic last year.
