Okay, folks, let’s talk about my little adventure with the “Arby’s Golf Club.”
It all started with a random thought. I was munching on some curly fries, and I just blurted out, “I wonder if I can make a golf club out of Arby’s stuff?” My friends laughed, but I was already hooked on the idea.
The Gathering
First things first, I needed supplies. So, I hit up my local Arby’s. I ordered a bunch of food (research purposes, obviously), and made sure to ask for extra boxes, those sturdy ones they use for the Market Fresh sandwiches.
- Several Market Fresh sandwich boxes (the long ones)
- A few of those cardboard drink carriers
- Lots of napkins (for padding and grip, you know?)
- And, of course, a ton of tape. All kinds of tape.
Construction Time
I started by flattening out the sandwich boxes. These were going to be the “shaft” of my club. I reinforced them by stacking a few together and taping them like crazy. I mean, layers and layers of tape. Gotta make it somewhat sturdy, right?
Next up, the club head. This was tricky. I used one of the drink carriers, folded it into a sort of wedge shape, and stuffed it with napkins. More tape! I attached this “head” to the shaft, again with a ridiculous amount of tape. It looked… well, it looked like a bunch of cardboard taped together, but hey, it was starting to resemble a golf club!
For the grip, I just wrapped a whole bunch of napkins around one end of the shaft and, you guessed it, taped them down. It wasn’t pretty, but it was surprisingly comfortable.
The Test Drive
Finally, it was time to test this bad boy out. I grabbed a few golf balls (real ones, I’m not that crazy) and headed to my backyard. I took a swing, and… well, the ball went maybe five feet. The club wobbled like crazy, and the head almost fell off. But it worked! Sort of.
I made some adjustments. More tape, obviously. I reinforced the head a bit more, tightened the grip, and tried again. This time, the ball went a little further, maybe ten feet. Progress!
After about an hour of tinkering and swinging, I managed to get the ball to go a decent distance. It wasn’t going to win any awards, and the “club” was pretty much destroyed by the end, but I did it. I made a golf club out of Arby’s packaging.
So, there you have it. My Arby’s golf club adventure. It was silly, messy, and completely pointless, but I had a blast. Would I recommend it? Probably not. But hey, it’s a good story, right?
