This particular luxury accessory comes courtesy of gizmodo. The recently released “Shadow Caddy,” will permanently do away with the need for a golf caddy. Makes you wonder what all those huddled conversations with their caddy the pro-golfers have are all about. Are they just for show? Although I wonder if this thing will advise you which club to choose and its not a long stretch to imagine a caddy that will take the shot for you.
Apparently it follows you around the golf course like a faithful dog and is far cheaper than paying a real person to carry the clubs for you. You do have to have some input though. Fail to switch the setting from “Follow me,” to “Park,” and it will follow you into hell, or more likely a sand bunker. I wouldn’t fancy dragging it out either.
My favorites from a choice selection of comments on this device:
“This abomination is an insult. It’ll bring bad joojoo to you, and you’ll never step foot on the green again.”

“This is actually a great idea, much better exercise than riding a cart, but without 18 holes of idle chitchat from a surly teenager.”
