This robo-caddy will follow you anywhere

(Credit: Shadow Caddy)

Some of the most important technology in golf has nothing to do with virtual putting, digital scoring, or video analysis of your swing. Case in point: The "Shadow Caddy."

This Australian-made marvel can follow you onto the first tee, through all 18 holes, and into the clubhouse, perhaps with the exception of sandtraps. And it will do it all by itself, without even a remote control. This robo-caddy works by communicating with a sensor worn by the player and navigating its way around the links with built-in processors.

The pefect accessory for the lazy duffer, it makes the remote-controlled caddy look like a dinosaur by comparison. Maybe you can even get a golfer's golfer's Segway and see if it can keep up. Or you can just a "Golf Ball Launcher" and save the trip altogether.

Hey Mike. I have to disagree with your assessment that the Shadow Caddy is, "The perfect accessory for the lazy duffer". I've played the game my entire life, but at 45 with 2 herniated disks in my back I can't carry my bag any longer. I really hate riding in a cart and prefer to feel the grass under my feet and walk the course. A product like the Shadow Caddy, and the competing product I have now, allow me to do that without riding in a cart...which frankly is the real definition of a "lazy duffer".
