Golf's ridiculous inventions

HAHAHA! Excuse me, but am I the only one who finds this RadarGolf Ball Positioning System not only highly ridiculous but insulting to one's intelligence? Yippie, now you can find your lost balls and save yourself $3.00! The only trouble is, you need the device at the left at a cost of $250.00 and the price of a dozen balls with embedded microchips. Can it save you a stroke every now and then? Perhaps...but if your ball is lost to begin with, you might want to instead apply the $250 to golf lessons. And its name...does it uses its mysterious "system" to "position" your ball for you? I wish! All it does is find your ball. Correction: it finds its own balls. Enough said.
Here's a link to this amazing lesson in how to spend a dollar to save a dime:

I think I'll start to regularly look for these kind of shameless snake-oil-type there's-a-sucker-born-every-minute golf products, like those weird contraptions you strap yourself into or clamp around body parts. And I grew up thinking that plaid pants were the silliest things about golf. :)
