Golf will never be the same.
Back in April, we brought you the story of an amazing hovercraft golf cart PGA star Bubba Watson demoed in spectacular fashion. Alas, we noted with some displeasure, the incredible vehicle was just a prototype and not available for public consumption.
Well, all that's about to change.
The Windy Knoll Golf Club in Springfield, Ohio, has just bought two of the BW1 contraptions for its customers to use. The course paid $58,000 apiece for the nifty get-arounds and patrons will soon be able to rent them for a yet-to-be-determined rate for select events, SB Nation reports.
As seen in Watson's viral YouTube video embedded above, the BW1 — which glides across greens and water hazards alike while leaving traditional carts in its dust — is pretty much the sweetest thing to hit golf since the Arnold Palmer drink.
Windy Knoll is currently the only golf course to possess BW1s of its own, and plans to introduce its new additions at a "Hover Bash" on July 27.
How much would you pay to rent one of these bad boys? Let us know in the comments.
