Those of you that are following CES and MacWorld are probably on geek overload. If you're a geek and a golfer, then you should have a little more room to digest one more gadget. Today, Electric Spin introduced the Golf Launchpad at CES. The company is technologically enabling us to do what we've always done...swing clubs in the living room. The virtual golf simulator allows you to "play" along with the pros on the same courses (apparently through EA's Tiger Woods' Golf) and a set-top box allows you to hack it up with PGA pros during The Golf Channel's telecast. If you're hitting the ball all over the place and can't keep up with the pros, I'm guessing a digital marshal may ask you to speed it up or pack it up. You and your friends can go online to compete against each other.

Unlike the Nintendo Wii and Justin Timberlake, Electric Spin isn't necessarily bringing sexy back with this product. But looks aren't the only thing that matter to the shallowest of humans. If it performs well and shows us a good time, then there will be very little room to criticize. Like the Wii, Golf Launchpad may be highly likely to inflict bodily injury and damage to personal property.
