Too bad there is no narrative in literature for the years between 1 through 11. That is because all memories from then are in images, and sensations, and pictographs.
Can you relate? Sort of a self-speak, creates fillers when there is little going on upstairs.
So yesterday while I was doing nothing, it popped in my head, "Hey, distances.... to the hole.... which iron? ........GPS!"
So I thought"The ProShot Golf Traditional GPS system, in its simplicity, keeps with the traditional mind-set prevalent in the golf industry by keeping the golfer focused on his game. The system steers away from offering t
he bells and whistles that our competition feels a player needs to play his game, when in fact they only serve to distract a player and ultimately decrease your course?s pace of play.
The ProShot Golf Traditional GPS system is a steering column-mounted unit that is un-intrusive to the player?s line of site. Yardages to lakes, bunkers and other hazards, as well as to the front, center and back of the greens (accurate to within one yard) are readily displayed. In addition, pro tips are also provided to help the golfer make an informed decision of which club to use and what strategy to employ. Golfers can also get their drive distances if they choose. Ultimately, your golfers will leave your course with a more enjoyable overall golfing experience..." (www.proshot.com ).
I had a brain wave originating faroff away from the distant golf men who whisper to me still through the River Oaks of Houston. Hey I have a new gadget that my golfing friends will want for their plenary golf carts.I even called Rick, who rebuilds g-carts and asked him if he installs GPS on the carts, "Huh?" he said.
picking your club?" I said. Then I remembered he doesn't play golf. "Okay, I'll get back to you. I haven't researched it yet."Well, that was yesterday afternoon. Google came up with about 1,320,000 hits for gps, golf, distances. in (0.12 seconds). So I felt the usual foolish and pound pour idiot with an idea. Can I get a witness?
The SkyKap Advisor is a GPS-enabled golf cap controlled by voice commands. First you plug it into your PC's USB port and download course maps from SkyKap website. Then you wear the cap out on the links, asking it for information about distance to things such as the pin, water hazards and fairway boundaries, and it whispers the info into your ear.
SkyKap Advisor was just introduced, so there's no information on pricing or availability yet. But if this actually works as a
dvertised, it adds a new layer of simplicity to GPS technology on the golf course. It's like wearing your own satellite-enabled caddy on your head. – Charlie White {Product Page [SkyKap, via GPS Gazette]SkyKap Advsior -- AKA, brain cancer.

I'm a golfer.This is nuts.
Will it also whisper "you can't reach the green with that 6-iron you orange-and-green-plaid-panted-pansy, better use your 5."
After you dump one in the lake will it whisper "who did you think you were, Tiger Woods?"

I suggest that backyard inventing and garage based tinkering are the "healthiest state of mind."
Entrpenuers are everywhere in the USA, tinkering. Garage businesses are the backbone of our free enterprise. What is the first thing a newcomer to the US do? He or she starts a job, then does a side job for cash, builds a cash flow, then buys a building. There are plenty of buildings to buy, and starts tinkering with business ideas; viola'.
The government has little to offer the beginner. It is after all not a business. Governemnt is a guidance counselor, and I shudder to think more than a few people think it is a panacea for business.
There is a lot of slack in government, and slack is what makes us all un-healthy.
Mark my words, Soon they will be mowing lawns and building gizmos in garages all over Baghdad, just you wait and see. That is what we Americans take to the world the healthy state of mind of Entrepeneur's.
Look at this:
