Another attempt to liven up golf – Golfboard

GolfBoard is undeniably the most exciting and enjoyable way to experience any course. Easy to learn, safe, and exciting, Golfboard can be mastered by most anyone in just a few minutes. After just a few holes, you will quickly agree that GolfBoard is by far the most fun you have ever had on a golf course.

GolfBoard eliminates the sedentary activity of sitting in a cart, while improving speed of play, reducing turf wear, and offering golfers the chance to experience the natural terrain in way previously reserved for surfers and snowboarders. Already embraced by Golf courses and players world-wide, GolfBoard is certain to attract a whole new audience looking to discover golf, but in a whole new way..

A new one will set you back $6,500.  As for courses that already have them, you can look at this map.  Per that map, only one course in Texas has them, and it’s in Brownsville, but courses in Lufkin and Beaumont are scheduled to get some.  The closest course to DFW that has them available is in Oklahoma City.
