X1R Remote Caddie

Juniper Foo | Jun 12, 2006

Here's a caddie who'll never complain, never ask for tips, and never tire. Of course, the X1R Remote-Controlled Caddie's also not likely to hand out golfing tips, though we're not discounting a future generation that might just have that inbuilt capability. Meantime, if you have US$2,000 to spare, this electric cart not only carries a good many things--from clubs to balls, to towels--, one single charge of the 12-volt 30Ah Sonnenschein battery is apparently good for 18 to 27 holes. Works for us.
