I want to thank everyone that has shown their concern about my injury. It's nice to know that I have so many people that I've never met in person that truly seem to care.

Since I can't golf for a while, I have a lot of time to think, and I've come up with a few ideas for products that I want to share (and don't go stealing my ideas!).

  1. Hydration Pack Golf Bag. For those days when it's just too dang hot, but you don't have the money, or don't want to be a wuss and ride in a cart, introducing the carry golf bag complete with a Camelback-esque hydration pack! Forget carrying around a water bottle, or several as the case may be. Just fill up your hydration pack before your round starts, and you have three liters of water at your disposal, and on your way to your next shot, the water is accessable through a straw attatched to your shoulder strap. This product will help lower your fatigue levels by the end of the round, and make sure that you stay well hydrated!
  2. GPS-enabled balls. If they can put a GPS locator in a phone, or even inject one in a person or animal, why can't they make golf balls with a GPS locator built in? If it took you five minutes to find your ball with this device, you'd better call it lost and take a drop, because even in the thickest rough, you'd at least know the ball's exact position immediately, and you'd be able to search the right area. The USGA may not like the idea, but as long as you don't use it in a tournament, no harm, no foul.

Well, those are a couple of my ideas for now. I'm actually working on the hydration pack golf bag right now. Who knows if it will ever make it to market. I'll fill you in on a few more ideas that I have later.
