There are probably a lot of middle-aged men in your life who got a drone for Christmas and now have no idea what to do with it except fly it over a golf course with a GoPro attached. The footage is cool, but that's really the only practical application for a drone, right?

Well, a golf course has come up with an even better use for drones: delivering refreshments and course necessities right to players.

This video shows a drone delivering a cigar, the golfers getting the stogie, then everyone moving on as the drone flies back toward the clubhouse.
