The golf cart hovercraft
高爾夫氣墊船
Showing off on the golf course has hit a new extreme with the Golf Cart Hovercraft, which can fly over sandpits and water. Zoom between holes with the craft, which floats up to almost 23cm (9 inches) off the ground and can move at speeds up to about 72km per hour (45mph).
超級拉風的高爾夫氣墊船,能飛躍高爾夫球場上的沙坑和水池。乘坐氣墊船往返各個球洞之間,氣墊船能夠漂浮在地面上方23厘米(9英寸),最高時速可達72千米/小時(45英里/小時)。
The cart fits up to four passengers and two golf bags and is steered with handlebars instead of a wheel. It also meets US Coast Guard standards for reliable hovering over water. Note: Special permission is required to get the cart onto courses, but the vessel is quiet and lands and takes off without wrecking the grass, its manufacturer, Hammacher Schlemmer, says. No issue here for those with their own private courses.
一個高爾夫氣墊船可以容納4個乘客和2個高爾夫球袋,控制則要通過操縱柄而不是方向盤。它也符合美國海岸警衛隊(US Coast Guard)的標準,可以漂浮在水面上。需要注意的是:需要特別許可才能將這種氣墊船開進高爾夫球場,并且在降落和上升的時候需要保持安靜,不能破壞草坪,制造商Hammacher Schlemmer如是說。但是私人高爾夫球場的主人則不受這些規則制約。
