Can’t wait till I’m replaced by a robot golfer
How could this ever go wrong.
My local course had like 6 of these things going the other week I played it. Honestly pretty dang cool and frees up the maintenance crew to do the important stuff.
Job taker
But can they hear fore when I yell it?
Haven’t they watched the all time golf classic movie Blades??
Chalk it up to another lost job.
I want my golf course mowers ladened with men. Men that are higher than fuck, enjoying their job.
Course my company owns just got a robotic crew.
Take away those jobs! /s
As the automation of heavy equipment, and maintenance machines, gets larger and allowed to perform work that is more complicated, it’s only a matter of time before someone hacks a number of them and holds them for ransom.
When I talked to my local green keeper I was surprised that their main issue is coverage
I kinda expected that like 1-2 small robots per hole would cover them, but apparently the scale is entirely different from what I know and their main issue is noise levels of autonomous systems since they cant run them during the day when people are around
Greens keepers revenge is gonna be lit!
Clankers!
This makes much more sense to me than self-driving cars.
Let’s perfect this first…
I’ll volunteer my own lawn for research.
Fuck them, and fuck that.
My local course has a bunch of these but a lot smaller
But who’s going to pick our crops?
So green fees should go down in turn.. right?
When will we get our robot caddies.
These were all over Del Mar Country Club in San Diego.

Looks like meeting on the 9th fairway after midnight is off the table…
How much that cost?
There goes my retirement plan of getting baked and mowing fairways for free golf
Looks like it doing a terrible job TBH. Gonna take way more passes. However will eliminate fuel and fluid leaks which happened at least a few times a year at the course I worked at in the 2000s. Will also eliminate the fairway guy and a lot of fuel cost.
Game’s gone
This is not new. Been happening around the world for about a decade now.
This right here is why UBI will be necessary in the next 15-20 years.
Instead of hiring people and paying them a living wage… we spend 10x more on fucking robots.
Sick
There goes my retirement plan
I am all for this but I noticed an unusual amount of fairway mower cuts 1-3″ into the rough leaving a not so crisp, burned out edge.
Taking jobs from hard working people that love the game.
Hmm well, I still mow manually.
There goes my barista fire job

Green fees will go up
Those are some tight turns on low turf .
stop this shit… I am trying to plan my retirement…
Fuck yeah.
You know what my favorite thing to say is? I bet you don’t! Because how could you, when you don’t know me?
My favorite-ass thing to say is “Is this the best we can do? As a culture, as a society? Is this where humanity peaks?”
Because this… This is fuck yeah.
Saw these at nearby sand hollow and one ran over and mowed a guy in our groups wedge. They gave him a brand new replacement wedge at the store
I honestly don’t mind in that it might help keep maintenance costs down. Either that keeps courses alive and possibly kept to a higher standard.
THEYRE TERKIN OUR JEEERBSSS
estimated price tag $160,000.
Fuck the future! Power the working class.
