5 ft. Firm Grip Golf Umbrella, Black or Black and White, $5.20, free shipping, Home Depot

$4.72 around me. $5 has been the standard price in store for many years now. Free shipping is the real deal here.

One and done, if it ever gets hold of wind.

Not bad. Picked up 4, as my kids always break them.

Is this the really good, solid type you used to find on golf bags in the 1970's? If so, it's great and well worth $25 and more. They're super big too to cover more than one person. They had smaller diameter and shorter ones too. The big ones were great quality. Oh, this one is only 39". No, that's the length. The diameter is five feet.

Is the rod metal or fiberglass? Is it solid or hollow? I see they have bigger, more expensive ones to choose from. There used to be just one great one to get before they started making smaller, bad ones. They could take a beating IN the bag banged by clubs and on the side of the bag banged into other bags, the ground and your car trunk and they never failed. I suppose this isn't that umbrella.

If this is the same ones they sell in store they are crap. Will flip and break with slightest gust of wind.

Awful quality, bought this brand at HD a few years ago and it broke on first use.

Seems like a bad umbrella but some of the reviews are pretty funny if you have a minute.
