Oakley gives Bubba Watson a hovercraft to replace his golf cart video

While there's plenty of tech to improve your swing, the golf course itself doesn't see too much innovation which is why this attention-grab from Oakley and Bubba Watson is even more enjoyable. The audacious golfer decided that he was tired of pootling around courses in a golf buggy, so his new sponsors enlisted the help of Neoteric Hovercraft to build him a whip that isn't restricted to the cart path. In fact, with the BW1 hovercraft, Watson can take shortcuts across water hazards and through sand traps while shaded under the traditional golf buggy canopy -- making it the perfect ride for the eccentric 2012 Masters winner. If you'd like to see the other golfers stare in slack-jawed disbelief, then head on past the break for the video.

Hovercraft Golf Cart, Fore the Win

Professional golfer Bubba Watson and Oakley had this souped up golf cart made that can go right over the water hazards, sand traps, and greens because it’s a freakin’ hovercraft! Awesome. Besides being way way way more fun than a regular golf cart (which are pretty fun to drive as is), it’s actually less damaging to golf courses because it floats over the grass instead of compacting the turf with tires. Watch the action video:

Is this the future of golf carts? Will we see this out on the course in an upcoming PGA tournament or at your local course? I sure hope so. (via roadroll)
