The three-wheeled cart works by following a signal from a transmitter worn on the golfer's body. Switching the caddy's setting from "Follow-Me" to "Park" makes sure it never accidentally follows you into a bunker or onto the green.

The Shadow Caddy can function in all weather conditions and moves at a speedy enough clip to keep up with a fast walk. Right now, it's only available as a rental model rather than a full retail product. Trials are being conducted at four golf courses in Melbourne, Australia.

Not only is the cart cheaper than renting a real person to carry your clubs for you, it'll never make snide remarks under its breath about how any idiot would've known to use a nine iron for that shot. [Gizmag]

This is the internal Windows Live Golf Cart, pimped out as only the nerds at Microsoft can. Brought to you by the folks who made "Lightning Bolt! Lightning Bolt! Lightning Bolt!" an internet meme, the cart has little flags and even bass amps and is used for internal promotion. Sexy. – Jason Chen
