Golf Superpower. What's Your Pick?

[Nave]

I thought of another one: Summon Caddie.

Summoning Tiger Woods as my caddie for one hole per round might not improve my game, but the sheer coolness of having that power would make every round a thrilling adventure.

Taking a flight of imagination, picture having Marty McFly from Back to the Future as your caddie. With his futuristic insights, he predicts where your ball will land, turning every swing into a thrilling time-traveling golf adventure.

Along the same lines, I would like to have the power to move the slow group in front to a position behind me.

You will feel the need to let the group in front of you pass through.

Yes! If only this wasn't an issue on the course. Drives me nuts.

I'd like to be able to hold my hands steady enough for my laser to get an accurate reading.

I would settle with just having the ability to help the group in front of me offer to allow me to play through. 

I was recently playing in a group that was much much faster than the group in front of us. We waited a couple of holes in a row to give them the opportunity to ask, then speaking for the group I asked them. "Hey, can we play through?" 

"There's no place to go" was their response and they played on without letting us play through. In my head I thought "Bullsh!t... There are three open holes in front of you guys." But instead I said nothing. By time we finished there were six open holes in front of them.  People who don't get it, don't get that they don't get it.

Holy shit. Within the rules of this game this is the winner by a mile!

Aside from @Vinsk's genius nomination, but kind of along the same lines in terms of zen/jedi mind, how about goldfish brain power? The ability to maintain a maximally positive and calm frame of mind and not even "forget" bad shots but not even have it be an issue that a bad shot could stick with you and have a negative effect on future shots.

Two options:

1) Call the Marshall - This would be my preferred option

2 ) It does not always work but sometimes you can skip a hole to get in front of them then play a couple holes to get a gap ahead of them and drop back and play the hole you skipped then drive past them again to go forward to where you left off.  A lot depends on the course layout if that would work and you would really need to know the course layout to make it work.  Also, if it is jammed up behind you then you may never be able to play the hole you skipped.  I've successfully done this a couple of times and the look on the faces when you skip by them the 2nd time is great.
