In 2005 we say more high tech, aerospace engineering and material sciences come to the game of golf than ever before. Not that the top players need any help in their game although they will surely be the benefactors of it as even Tiger Woods will enjoy the increased control, extra 10 yards and accuracy on the green. In 2005 it seems the novice and hobby golfer made out the best with new tools to help keep score and tools to help the golfer know the course better with GPS waypoints figured into golf cart steering wheels and portable PDA devices. At all times knowing the exact yardage, angle of play and even the wind speed and direction fed into the device, via special equipment and WiFi services on some specialty golf courses. We also saw some of the very first Fuel Cell Golf carts, which run silent and effortlessly over hill and dale.

In 2006 I predict the very first Carbon Nanotube Constructed Golf Clubs, will be used and they will rock the game for those who can afford them. The prices will still take many years to come down to a reasonable rate. You will also see in 2006 a new innovations in GPS Golf balls with RFID tags in them that are linked by satellite to your PDA while you play, the system with have artificial intelligence and even predict in flight the path the ball will take, how far it will roll and your score.

This system in future years will advise you of which is your best possible choice of club, instructions on how to hit the ball and percentages of probability, based on your previous games, that course and your current game in play. The very first static range Holographic golf instructors will be come available late in the year allowing you to mimic your swing to perfection. In later years it will come with you and stand beside you and be fully integrated with the GPS golf ball systems and your carbon nano tube clubs. Think on this in 2006.
