A regular Trail Head reader who is inclined to play a few rounds of golf occasionally (considered legitimate outdoor recreation by some, including myself), and therefore apt to work up a considerable thirst, took one look at the cooler-bobber for boaters the other day and exclaimed, "Hey, how about something like that for us golfers?"

Me being a "certified recreational cooler specialist" and all, I got right to work.

I cracked a cold one and began an exhaustive search.

Soon enough my cooler-sleuthing paid off.

Thirsty golfers, here's your answer:

The Original Covert Cooler. Made to discreetly carry the life-sustaining liquids essential to a fine round of golf.

Loaded with cool features, it easily transports and conceals your thirst-quenching golf necessities.

A downside to the Covert Cooler that I have observed is its volume. It only holds nine 12 oz. cans of adult beverages vs. the cooler-bobber which holds a full compliment of 12 brews. So the average thirsty golfer may run a bit short on a typical round of 18 holes.

But the way I see it, you're much less likely to get thrown off the course with the Covert Cooler and nine beers tucked neatly away in your golf bag than by trailing the the rather obvious cooler-bobber along behind you as you play.

The cooler-bobber, however, would seem to make a handy toy to kick around on the fairway somewhere on the back nine after you've consumed its contents and couldn't really give a crap anymore about your golf game.

As you can see, there are pluses and minuses that will require your serious consideration. You make the call.

But I digress...

The Covert Cooler comes complete with a detailed user's manual. Easy as 1-2-3, even for, well, persons a minumum level of skills and abilities.

And, as you might expect, the Covert Cooler is multi-talented and performs well beyond the golf course. "On the beach, at the park, for tubing, snowmobiling, mudding, canoeing, horseback riding, camping, fishing and hunting."

Now that's an ambidextrous-type piece of gear for sure, dontcha think dee-yah!?

So there you have it my dry-mouthed golfing pals. The stealthy, efficient, highly functional Covert Cooler. A wonder of modern man's ingenuity. And a must for the active outdoorsperson.

Next question please???
