We love talking about golf buggies on Lussorian, and here’s another we have found – The Grass Hopper.

There is a great range of different buggies to choose from, from single seaters to double seaters, all battery powered of course.

The company claims that all their buggies easily do 18 holes of the most demanding courses, but conditions obviously affect performance. In actual fact the battery has been known to last 54 holes!

Prices start from £2500 GBP to £4500 GBP.

Check this out, a golf ball launcher invented for those unable to swing a golf cub to continue playing golf.

A gas canister attaches to the launcher and can fire a golf ball up to 300ft, and straight. Sounds like great fun, and put in the wrong hands could create some very mischievous fun!

Inspired by a gentleman who’s dad could no longer play his favorite round of golf due to a stroke, this invention is set to take the world of golf by storm. Infact I see it becoming a new craze for the able bodied!

The company, based in the USA and called Air Force Golf (we love Americans) are looking for licensees all around the world for this product, and currently have 525 to sell to the general public.

But beware, most golf courses may raise an eyebrow, but the ones with a heart should show willing. Note to all golf courses – you’ll have no more divots from miss swings (I’m very guilty by the way).

Can’t quite afford a Ferrari… well think again!

I know it’s not quite a car but in this carbon neutral world we live in surely it’s a better option anyway. Designed and built by Colnago in collaboration with Scuderia Ferrari technicians, this has adrenalin enthusiasts written all over it.

For around £4500 you get a hand built frame, hydraulic disk brakes on both wheels, carbon handlebar and seatpole, and of course that famous badge to flash around!
