Even Robots Look Bored With Golf
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Wednesday, 26 of January , 2011 at 2:07 am
This is InBirdie. InBirdie plays golf, and it’s apparently the world’s most sophisticated golf robot (besides Putter Bot, of course). It can accurately judge distances and slopes and is supposedly able to reliably nail hole-in-ones, at least on the putting green. When it comes to driving, it looks like InBirdie might need a bit of a motor upgrade. Or an air cannon of some sort… Those are legal in golf, right?
Oh, and if you’re wondering why I have a beef with golf as a sport, it’s simply because it seems ludicrous to have a tiny little ball that’s supposed to go in a tiny little hole when you have such a gigantic course. The proportions are all wrong, that’s all.

Golfers make putting look hard. some years ago I made an animatronic golfer, no intelligence, just put the ball on the spot and the golfer would go through the moves and sink 10 foot putts every time, and 15 ft putts most times, on astroturf at that.
