Bubba Watson's Jetpack - really, a jetpack

[nevets88]

But it looks like he's definitely not using it. Would you want to strap yourself to two bombs with the potential albeit very small, to go off?

Ok - I love Bubba, but this is never going to get traction on the course. It looks like this would double or triple the time to play a hole just in strapping in and out this thing as compared to hopping in a cart or even walking. 

Cool idea, would LOVE to have one, but doesn't look at all practical for golf. The hover craft is far better

That's not a Jetpack!  This is a jetpack! From my favorite show as a kid Lost in Space.

Bubba seems like the type that would be afraid of heights...

These are so much better than golf carts! . .except the skill needed to fly one, the risk of crashing, the extra time needed to get in and out of one, the engine noise . .and the fact that it probably costs 100x what a golf cart costs.  I think Bubba's right - this will really catch on and be a "game changer". 

I don't know if you've seen Shawn Clement's "golf bike" . .but that looks pretty cool.  I mean . .it doesn't fly or anything, lol . . .

Yeah like a course needs a dozen of these things roaring around.
