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!).
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.

Hi TNT.1st I haven't experienced the temperatures you play in your side of the pond. Even in Spain & Portugal, we booked in the cooler time of the year. I can see your reasoning for the "Camel Hump" and think it could work if, & it's a big if, the harness allows complete swing mobility and is not restrictive. I think the idea of GPS enabled golf balls is 'brilliant'. It would not only save time but ever decreasing funds. I hope it bears fruit. H |

I think the GPS enabled golf ball is a genius idea - one that I wish I'd thought of first. ;)As far as the camelback hydration back goes... I agree with thistle - won't it affect your swing? Not knowing much about the mechanics of a golf swing, I'd say that's your challenge - getting the physics right and applicable to golfers of different shapes and sizes. :) |

The thing about the hydration pack is that it is part of your golf bag. You'd only have it on in between strokes as you're walking to your ball. Sorry if that wasn't clear enough.

I may actually be too late on the GPS Golf Ball as well. I just found this at ezinearticles.com:With sensors getting smaller and GPS units being used in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles of smaller and smaller size for Micro Air Vehicles and RFID imbedded chips, this technology believe it or not is ready for golf balls as well? All you need is a little imagination. So there you are Tiger Woods with a PDA device in your hands which measures the exactly where the ball is, how far to the next hole, picking up the data from inside the golf ball itself and the flag in the hole. Way-points are displayed also as to where the sand traps are, lakes, edge of fairway and the rough surrounding the green. The World Think Tank recent discussion and brain storming session digressed from GPS navigational devices to sports and we came up with the idea to put GPS Sensors in golf balls, so you could find your golf ball if you have a nasty slice or heavy winds taking it off course. |

I see one flaw with the GPS GolfBall idea, WATER. It doesn't do you any good knowing were your ball lies in the pond, lake or creek if you cant retreive it,most of my losed balls are due to water. what about your out the cost of the ball. Speaking of which, the cost would be the biggest obstical I see. That's just my spin on it.

This is a message that I just received from thistle:Hi TNT, Sorry to be the one to break the bad news, but you have been beaten to it. http://www.radargolf.com/home.asp Don,t shoot the messenger. Keep on thinking, your surely not far away from that one suberb idea, H I have some modifications to the idea that I'm not prepared to share yet, but in response to your comment, wilhilm51, a microchip costs next to nothing. The balls could be sold for fifty cents more than a regular ball, which is swollowable. The biggest cost would be the positioning unit. |
