New Hovercraft Golf Cart to Make World's Laziest Sport Even Lazier

This is how the road to WALL-E levels of post-apocalyptic laziness begins. Not with a bang, nor a whimper, but with a hovercraft pod someone invented so golfers can spend less time walking.

Before the advent of the BW1, golf pro Bubba Watson's air car contraption, the athletes had to sometimes drive their carts 15-30 feet from the green so as not to damage the playing field. They also had to walk all the way aroundsand traps and water hazards. No more.

Because the BW1 exacts 33 times less pressure on the ground than a human foot, it can soar over all of the above, leaving every blade of grass untrammeled on the green and your feet dry as you scoot right on over those algal ball-filled ponds. Two of these laze-crafts have already been sold to a golf course in Ohio, where it will make the air-tubs available for rent.

I already anticipate your protestation—hovercrafts, by their very nature, are cool, you'll argue. To which I say, look again at the vehicle pictured above, and ask yourself: are they? A bulky floating bumper car that sort of looks like that air-boat they tried to push Luke out of in Return of the Jedi? The reference is pertinent—it is a craft fit for the Jabba the Huts of the world, eager to waddle off of their tub-pods to tap a ball into a hole and write the whole enterprise off as exercise.

And the last thing we need is an over-sized, gas-guzzling air hockey puck that allows its participants to make the world's laziest sport even lazier.
