Who else in professional golf could possibly be flying around in a Hovercraft on a golf course? If you are like me, I can’t help but wonder if this is some kind of an April Fool’s prank. But then again, it was posted April 2, and we’re talking about Bubba. So there’s no reason not to think that this is not the real McCoy.

The BW1 Hovercraft is a joint venture between Bubba Watson and his new clothing sponsor, Oakley. When I first heard the announcement that Bubba was moving from Travis Mathew, a brand he wore during his rise to stardom, I couldn’t help but wonder what swayed him to move labels. That mystery seems to have been solved. I imagine the negotiations with Oakley went something like this:

Oakley Rep: “Bubba, we are here to offer you a gazillion dollars to become the face of Oakley.”

Bubba: “Travis Mathew has already offered me that.”

Oakley Rep: “Yes, but we will throwing in a Bubba Watson signature line of clothing — plus sunglasses with your name on them!”

Bubba: “Not bad, but Travis Mathew can match that.”

Oakley Rep: “Plus you get a monogrammed Hovercraft golf cart.”

Bubba: “Where do I sign?”

If you are keeping score about what makes Bubba Watson’s life so much more fun than everyone else on Earth, here’s the scorecard from the past few years:

Exhibit 1

June, 2011: Bubba Watson is featured in famed Golf Boys video rappin’ and dancin’ with Rickie Fowler, Ben Crane and Hunter Mahan. The video goes viral with 6.2 million views and counting.

Exhibit 2

January, 2012: Bubba Watson fulfills childhood dream and buys the authentic General Lee 1 car from “Dukes of Hazard” fame for $110,000.

Exhibit 3

February, 2012: Bubba Watson teams with Richard Mille to create the ultra-limited edition RM038 Bubba Watson signature watch. Cost: $525,000. Limited to 38 pieces worldwide. Bubba then wears the watch (worth more than the annual earnings of 99.99 percent of Americans) while winning The Masters.

Exhibit 4

March, 2012: Bubba and wife Angie adopt baby, Caleb, and is now a father just before winning The Masters.

Exhibit 5

April, 2012: Bubba Watson wins The Masters. Then wears winning green jacket to the following places: David Letterman Show, dinner with friends on the town, to bed.

Exhibit 6

March, 2013: Bubba Watson buys Tiger Wood’s Isleworth “fixer” mansion, with plans for a complete remodel.

Exhibit 7

April, 2013: Bubba Watson has a Hovercraft embossed with his initials.

That’s a pretty strong argument for a guy with the best life ever. Throw in the fact that he is a top-tier professional golfer and all doubt is removed — Bubba is officially “living the life.”

OK, now that I have picked my jaw up from off the floor, let’s discuss the merits of Hovercraft as a golf cart. The BW1 prototype is a bit larger and clunkier than I prefer when zipping and sliding across the fairways. But, the fact that it does zero damage to the fairways (and greens) does provide for a compelling argument that the technology should be further explored.

Of course, the video highlight is watching the thing swoop across lakes as if they are are two-lane highways. To be honest, I’m not sure of the benefit of this feature other than that I can already see my Sunday foursome hovering about 20 yards off of the lake’s edge ball retrievers in hand, scooping up the prized “deep Pro V’s” previously beyond the reach of their mortal ball retrievers.

Is there really a place for a fleet of Hovercraft on a golf course? No. We can continue to use the traditional, electric models that have gotten us this far. But, as always, my hat is off to Bubba for having unveiled the coolest golf gadget of the year — in addition to his watch, car, green jacket, new house, YouTube superstardom and his unbelievable golf game.
