One of the most popular trends on the internet is turning movies into real gadgets. We've seen Spider-Man's web shooters recreated with an impressive level ofFunctionality, but Nick O'Hara's club-launching golf bag is a near perfect recreation of an over-the-top gag from Caddy
The film, written and directed by Ghostbusters, features a stuffy country club over-run with uncultured caddies but the movie's main character was a comedian. In addition to bringing some humor to the links, Czervik also hit the greens with some expensive tech, including a golf bag featuring drink dispensers, a TV, and an automatic club launcher that somehow isn't a fixture on courses today.
The club shooter was recreated by O'Hara for Rich Shiels, who is best known for putting weird golf gadgets to the test and the machine does the impossible by making golf look kind of fun. The machine's base contains a hidden air compressor that propels the launcher to 120 PSI and uses a piston to send clubs out of a ring of plastic tubes.
Like a gatling gun, the assortment of clubs rotates so that the one needed by a golfer is fired. They can either use a wireless remote control to make their own selection, or they can ask the launcher to make club recommendations based on voice commands made to a smart speaker. A golfer can say that they are 165 yards from a hole that is uphill with strong winds against them, and the launcher will send the best club needed to fly in their direction.
An automatic ball launcher for those unfortunate times when a shot is shanked into the drink, and even a beverage launcher for golfers on the back nine are just some of the useful golf bag upgrade features.
