OneWheel electric board, would you use one for golf?

I like walking, but getting around the course faster does have some appeal. In a world that keeps getting busier, it's becoming increasingly more difficult for many to find place for long rounds of golf. This could be an alternative to a cart for those with the agility to use one.

Won't speed up anything if you're at a fully booked course without mandatory carts of course.

Where’s the drink holder?!

Cool. I see people using a smaller version of this in the city.

The range for the smaller model is just on the cusp of traveling distance for 18 holes. I guess i'd definitely charge it at the turn, but some courses don't go back to the clubhouse at 10. Would definitely go for the bigger one just in case or read up on some real world battery life tests.

I think it'd be pretty tough to balance.  I would much prefer the GolfBoard

The one wheel stuff scares me cos I doubt I will be able to balance on it properly.  And even if you do balance on it, any undulation or irregularity in the surface can cause you to overbalance and fall.  I need something that is stable if I am going to use it at all.  That said, I do ride a motorbike so I guess the lack of balance part is me

Geez, I have enough trouble staying on balance just walking the course. 😃

If it doesn't have enough battery life to last 18 holes, I doubt it charges quickly enough at the turn to make a difference. I guess you could always play at one of those Asian courses where they expect you to sit down and eat meal at the turn.

I showed this to one of my playing partners and he said his nephew broke his collar bone using it.  Never rode it again.    It wouldn't be for me.

Nope. Never. We have some big hills we have to go down at my course.
