First they bring us driverless cars and now the car companies are bringing us golf balls that find the holes themselves.

Where’s the link? Both are in the name of convenience (having to look somewhere other than your phone for a minute), but they look amazing.

Thankfully these balls won’t be coming to golf courses, it’s just a promotional tool for Nissan’s driving assistance technology – ProPILOT Assist. Visitors to Nissan’s Yokohama HQ can try it themselves, but for three days only.

As much as it would encourage more people to take up golf, the fact is if everyone’s Tiger Woods, then no one is.

Our markets aren’t quite looking like Tiger Woods today. The ASX Small Ords is down 0.72 per cent to 2,805 points and the ASX 200 is down 0.32 per cent to 6,480 points.

Private capital expenditure fell 0.5 per cent in the June quarter — another decline but better than the March quarter.

Going up

Total Brain (ASX:TTB) sealed a partnership with IBM and it jumped 67 per cent. BidEnergy (ASX:BID) jumped too because of a partnership, advancing 37 per cent. Its deal was with Origin Energy (ASX:ORG).

Centaurus Metals (ASX:CTM) jumped 25 per cent after strong surveying data came through.
