I thought I was so smart because I thought of this, but apparently the Segway people did too.

I would love one of these, it would make the ride between holes part of the fun of golf. Anyone ever tried one?

I wonder if they're still $5000/per. If so it's no wonder that golf courses haven't replaced their two-person golf carts.

Wonder if they will ever build one with a cover to block sun, rain, etc?

I've never been on a segway, but I can think of a couple courses where I think they would make me nervous going up or downhill. One course has a 95 foot drop from tee to fairway and that cart path leading down to the fairway is very steep. Could get interesting if it's been raining slightly.

They could certainly add a dimension of fun and danger to most any round. I have ridden a few segways in the caribbean and they are definitely fun. But the terrain wasn't anything like some of the courses I play.

I could see a TON of problems occuring with one of these. First time someone went down a slick wet cart path may be the last.

I've rode a segway but not a golf pkg one...it was so fun. It was a demo in a mall around here so it wasn't very far and it was inside but it was awesome.

Just thinking about taking one golfing makes me smile.

It looks pretty cool but in the end I would just rather walk to save money and burn calories. You can just call me old-fashioned.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.

      Day 207-12 Wider backswing and arm reconnecting in downswing. Did a much better job with proper wrist movements through downswing today.
