Found an interesting web page about an even more interesting old school tip device. I wonder if these things could appear on Ebay sometime soon. To quote:
“One of the most unique and, in my view, unappreciated items I ever endorsed was an instant-tip instructional tool called the Dial-A-Problem. The concept was as simple as a slide-rule (which, if you were born after 1950, you probably never saw either). A dial with a small, clear window, the Dial-A-Problem allowed users to get a golf tip from me for whatever situation they found themselves in.” ~ Arnold Palmer
A company called A.J. Industries out of Delavan, Wisconsin, manufactured and sold the Dial-A-Problem between 1966 and 1970. “It’s a shame that updated editions weren’t offered. I thought it was one of the best instant-tip devices an amateur could use. It sure beat digging out issues of golf magazines for a quick fix, and it was a lot cheaper than a series of lessons. The Dial-A-Problem would probably do well if it were reintroduced today.” This is why ArnoldPalmer.com has brought back this classic golf learning tool. If you’re having a problem with your game, just dial it up!
Perhaps no athlete has ever enjoyed a more dedicated legion of fans than Arnold Palmer and his infamous Arnie’s Army. Their love and devotion over the past four decades has been unyielding.
