Thumbs up Flying Golf Cart

I know someone in TV will be purchasing this hovercraft for a mere $58k. What do you say?

At 7 feet wide, it should be interesting when it meets other traffic. And think of the fun grandkids can have driving it.

It comes with a trailer so it would be transported to the course on the trailer.

I'll go in on a shared ownership...
I don't think the craft would meet other traffic in seven foot swath, since it hovers?
must be a million rules not made up yet to be negotiated in court.
still, it sounds like a blast!

I think that Bubba Watson is a major investor in the company that makes these. They are supposed to reduce the wear and tear on golf courses. They can also go across ponds.
