ORLANDO, Fla. - The contrast couldn't be more striking. Dubsdread Golf Course in Orlando, Fla., dates back to 1924. Its website says it's the "oldest public layout in the central Florida region." Ben Hogan won a Tour event here in 1945. Yet here we are, general manager Rodney Reifsnider and myself, sitting in an empty but soon-to-be-bustling dining room talking about something that's more "Back to the Future" than "Follow the Sun."

Basically, they're motorized skateboards with a handle to which you attach your golf bag. They debuted at the 2014 PGA Merchandise Show, where they were named Best New Product.
