Technology will play a major role in the future of professional golf. This isn't one writer's opinion, mind you. Take a close look at the driving range during a PGA TOUR event and you'll see countless players using devices that measure various aspects of their game -- from swing path and tempo to emotional stress levels and shot dispersion.

Until about five years ago, the term "wearable technology" was non-existent in golf circles. Teaching aids, some of which looked like flak jackets, helped players ingrain certain swing thoughts, but for the most part, those devices were reserved for the range and rarely saw the light of day on the course.

That was the past.
