My pet peeve as well!!!

Worse than the size of the umbrella is the habit some people have of holding them so the little spikes are at average person's eye level. A menace to society, I tells ya!

Also, their website sure makes it a bit of a maze to actually buy one of these things. I might have been interested, but can't be bothered anymore. Fortunately, I don't want an umbrella bigger than I am, anyway.

Well, I was referring to the "metro" line, which I have (and is what I linked to), and is definitely much smaller than a golf umbrella. I got it on amazon though.
