Spending a Sunday out on the golf course is a great way to relax – sunshine, freshly cut grass, open air… you know, all that good stuff. Unfortunately, the sport isn’t exactly the most pulse-pounding pastime in the world, and the pace of the game ends up dulling the experience for a lot of folks. Now, GolfBoards hopes to change that with a new way to get around the greens.
Essentially a big electric skateboard with room for your clubs, the GolfBoard is designed to carve the fairway. An upright handle provides a spot for the thumb-operated throttle, while turns are executed by leaning left or right. All ages are encouraged to ride, and it’s reported that the average time to play 18 rounds is decreased to two hours, 37 minutes when using one. What’s more, the GolfBoard is also significantly less damaging to the grass than a normal golf cart or foot traffic.
There’s even a cup holder and a place for the cooler.
There are currently two models on offer – the CourseBoard, which maxes out at 10 mph, and the bigger, badder SportBoard, which can hit 14 mph.
As of this writing, there are over 100 courses offering players a chance to take the GolfBoard for a spin. Most are in the U.S., but a few are located overseas, including spots in the U.K., U.A.E., and Indonesia.
