Steve Proffitt, NPR
Musician and Day to Day contributor David Was on a Segway at an Arizona golf course.
Day to Day senior producer Steve Proffitt reports from Scottsdale, Ariz., where a high-end resort is offering duffers an alternative to golf carts. It's the Segway -- the two-wheeled "human transporter" that first came out in 2001, now adapted for life on the fairway.
