GPS ubiquity is upon us. Hand-held devices, cars, shoes, and now golf hats can provide us with precise location and distance. These gadgets are supposed to make our lives easier and more efficient, but will our rounds of golf really get shorter and will our scores actually go down?

SkyKap is a new provider of GPS enabled golf accessories, incorporating GPS technology into the bill of your hat. In addition, the hats include a small scale computer design and voice recognition to acquire yardage data, enter and track scores, pace of play timing functions and many other capabilities.

Similar to SkyCaddie, courses can be searched and downloaded to the hat by using the course access website and hooking the hat to a  PC with the supplied USB cable. In addition, the hat can record a course layout (green distances only) which can then be shared with other users.

Too bad the hat can't predict the weather. Hopefully it doesn't rain during your round of golf, or else you may really lose your head on the golf course.
