When Did Golf Become Cool?

So I was looking at some camera lenses recently, and Nikon also make rangefinders for golfists.

This model looked like something from a war movie, while this model looked like something James Bond would have tucked away in his coat pocket.  The question is simple; when did golf become cool?  All these gadgets are awesome, and if they included night-vision (night-time golf, anyone?) they would be the ultimate Christmas present.

Being a golfist has, for the longest time, been a death-sentence for Christmas intrigue.  Socks, stupidly bright trousers and a few tees are all you could have previously asked for.  Now, you can ask for a digital rangefinder that has literally no other use than to relay the information that is already given to you at the beginning of each hole.

Then, to top off my amazement, I find this on the same site.

It's a goddamned red dot sight.  Perfect for all your golf related massacring needs.

What the hell.
