I'm putting this idea up on behalf of my wife, so if someone makes a million out of it as she is sure will happen, please don't forget to mail me a cheque.
doeds it need any explanation? You wear a helmet when playing golf. The helmet stops balls hitting your head. complex huh?
Yes, this is golf

American football style helmets, perhaps?

It will need to be tasseled (link). |
|

Based on the premise that those most likely to be banged on the bonce are likely to be other golfers, thus deserving of a good bashing for playing such a silly pointless game, such helmets are a bad idea. |
|
| |
Better to have a flat, round, green cap, with a little red flag in the centre, makde of very thin material affording no protection whatsoever. The flag is for the other golfers to aim at. |
|
| |
...on the other hand, golf balls would make cute little helmets for hamsters... |
|
| |
Oh, if [8th] could have said a futuristic miniature radar shaped like a red flag wired to a trajectory mini computer board patched like the golf greens signaling to the dangling ear flaps of the cap a distress call: Get the hell out of the way, dumb head! A micro-end-of-your-world meteor is coming!... |

You should just carry a bucket of water around with you - the water would slow down the incoming golf ball so it doesn't reach you and instead falls in the water. |
|
| |
Ah, that uses the well known
fact that golf balls are
magnetically attracted to
water. |
|
| |
If you're already into wearing traditional
golf attire, it's pretty tough to look like
any more of a twat. So why not. |
|
| |
It's not just tough, it's impossible .... |
|
| |
thats funny rotary. i never thought a good joke would come out of it. |
|
| |
Oh again, if [8th] could have said it's just tough, yet plausible. Yet, to explain it is too simple! Not a long-range radar actually but just to comb off the noise brought by insects such as flies and mosquitoes nearby that would interfere with motion capture. Install a motion detection camera-computer interface that superimpose video clips of the blue sky overhead captured from a wide-eyed lens. Reprogram the software to prioritize a rounded golf ball silhouette over fowl droppings whenever in a golf course - simply by a press of a button! |
|
| |
Well, maybe, just maybe, [8th] would conclude that there is truly just not yet a microchip invented to do such specific application... hmmm... |

By the way, a kevlar upgrade is for the Unexpected Falling Objectionables :-) |
|

More useful than prophylactics at the Vatican, at least. |
|
| |
Ah, that A-ntichrist I-ndoctrinating D-emonic S-ervice prevalent in Vatican and in the pompous crown of a pope you mean? |
