The original call
Original year: 2015
2026 assessment
Scorecard verdict: Tracking, and personal
Tracking — and this one’s personal. Drones are now everywhere in golf-course mapping, marketing and broadcast; my own son’s company does exactly this work. Where I was early is the consumer fantasy: the auto-follow drone filming your weekend round hasn’t arrived, mostly thanks to regulation. Right about the industry, early on the individual.
