Golfing In The 21st Century

August 9, 2007

It’s interesting to see that Golf isn’t being left behind as technology develops. In fact, as with most other areas in life, inventors are striving to make life as easy as possible for golfers. There are now golf balls with built in tracking devices which can be found using a handheld gadget, this must surely be a super cost saver when it comes to golf balls. This in-built chip can also measure your distance and direction. WOW! Another exciting gizmo which has taken the internet by storm is a device which helps you find golf balls in the rough. It looks similar to Mister Spocks tricorder from Star Trek and is sure to intimidate your opponents. Another fantastic futuristic golf aid is the swing tempo checker which works mush like a musician’s metronome and keeps you in the beat. Long gone are the days of hitting the links with a leather bag filled with wooden “woods”, iron “irons” and basic balls. We now live in an age where we try to make everything easier than it was in the past. And with this new-fangled technology comes the pride of being able to do things which would normally be out of your scope. What a wonderful age we live in where the fool can be king with the use of simple smoke and mirrors. I know that there is a body patch to alleviate everything now including “Stop Smoking” patch “Lose Weight While You Sleep” patch “Make My Kid Less Hyperactive” patch but I eagerly await the “Eliminate My Slice” patch or the more desirable “Eagle Every Hole” patch. Until then I guess it’s off to the driving range and putting green to do some old-fashioned hard practice.
