A-TAC Armoured Golf Cart

A-TAC Armoured Golf Cart

For golf buggy users who have been on the wrong end of a wayward drive, they may want to get one of these. This latest golf cart comes courtesy of the Indian design firm Metaltech Motor Bodies.

Called the A-TAC, or Anti-Terrorist Assault Cart the vehicle has been designed following the 2008 Mumbai bombings.

Basically, it appears that the firm has taken a standard golf cart and stuck some armour plating on it to create a vehicle that looks like something from a Batman movie.

The cart has a top speed of 15 miles per hour and is battery-powered with a six-hour charging life. It comes with a price tag of $43,000 and there is room for two adults in the vehicle. Sadly, there is no room for golf clubs or a drinks cooler.

The A-TAC has been designed to operate in confined spaces such as hotel corridors, but perhaps there could be a market for the vehicle on the golf course from which it is apparently derived!?

Although, if it were truly bullet-proof they’d surely do something to protect those exposed front wheels?

UroClub aids golfers caught short on fairways

Posted by James | Filed under Uncategorized

If you’re a golfer and have ever been caught short while out on the course, then this invention featured by the guys over at YourGolfTravel.com might be the tool for you.  Developed by a state-registered Urologist from Florida, the UroClub from Matco Enterprises provides a portable loo for use by golfers in the shape of a seven-iron.

Normally, when caught short a mad dash to the nearest bush is called for but the UroClub provides an on-club reservoir capable of holding in excess of a half-litre of liquid.  It can be used and carried in your golf bag thanks to a triple-seal screw cap although it isn’t designed for play so if you do use one, be sure to use the right seven-iron, otherwise you could be in store for a nasty surprise!

And if you still need to spare your blushes while performing your ablutions then there is even a handy ‘privacy towel’ for use to conceal the action.

Still not convinced? See for yourself in the product advertisement the UroClub in action.  And ignore the price in the ad; you can own a UroClub for the low price of $24.95!
