Finally, I Can Get That Prostate Based Swing Thought Out of My Mind

Perhaps some day I will appreciate the genius of this invention (hopefully not), but the title “prostate golf seat” sure caught my attention. The patent application disclosing this enlightening invention published last week as US Pub. No. 20100259088, which describes the invention as:

The prostate golf cart seat protects the prostate area of men from continuous bouncing by providing a 1-1/2” air space between the seat and the prostate. The prostate golf cart seat may be movable or stationary. The stationary seat would have two 7” wide spaces with a 1-1/2” air space wider the prostate. The movable seat would have two 8” stationary end cushions. The center would consist of two 8” cushions moving along a rail which would allow riders to close the 7” seat gap to within 2” from the stationary end cushion. The center air space between each rider and seat of each would have a depth 1-1/2”. It would be adjusted with a “T” bolt or a knurled knob. The stationary seat would have two 7” wide spaces where the prostate would be positioned with a depth of 1-1/2” between the prostate and the seat.

Did you know that:

[0003] Golf carts without prostate protection are commonly used on all golf courses today. Continuous bumping and jarring of the prostate area during the ride over time will cause the prostate to enlarge.

[0016] The prostate golf seat consists of two (2) stationary cushions at the end of the golf cart seat with two (2) adjustable cushions in the middle allowing two golfers to laterally adjust the middle two cushions for each individual’s comfort.

[0017] Conventional golf cart seats exert the rider’s weight throughout the prostate area. During the ride over the golf course, a great deal of bumping occurs over the prostate area.

[0018] The prostate golf seat is designed to eliminate that impact. The center of the prostate golf seat consists of two (2) 8” seat cushions which move laterally away from each other allowing for adjustment by two (2) individual golfers. By providing movable seat cushions, the seat creates a 2” to 7” space in the middle of each golfer’s seat thereby eliminating any pressure inside the prostate area. Each center seat cushion may be adjusted to close the 7” gap to 2” if desired by locking the “T” bolt underneath the seat cushion into one of the five (5) nuts underneath which are spaced 1” apart. The elements used may be replaceable with similar elements of different materials, sizes and flexibility. The prostate golf seat may be made of metal, plastic or wood or a combination of these materials and a spring-loaded pin may replace the “T” bolt.

Who knew that golf carts could be so dangerous to your prostate? Looks like an accident waiting to happen as your 250 pound golf partner jumps in the seat next to you.
