A product for those who can't be bothered to get out of their golf cart

This is how lazy we've become?

From a press release passed along to us (our words in bold):

It is being called the first-ever "drive-by" golf ball retriever. The ScrambleScoop allows any golfer to easily scoop up grounded golf balls while in a moving cart -- without bending, leaning or stretching. Originally designed for use in golf scrambles or "best ball" games, the ScrambleScoop is proving popular for any golf outing.

How Does ScrambleScoop Work? The ScrambleScoop was designed with perfectly angled edges that guide the ball right into the almost 7 inch net. The golfer begins by simply extending the telescopic shaft of the ScrambleScoop to the desired length. While the cart is moving, reach out the scoop to drag along the grass a few feet behind the golf ball. As the scoop reaches the ball the uniquely angled edges actually guide the ball to hop effortlessly into the small mesh basket to be easily removed for use on the next shot. The ScrambleScoop can be used from either side of the cart simply by inverting the mesh net on the scoop.

For many people, young and aging alike, bending over can be difficult. The ScrambleScoop reduces back, hip and knee strain caused by bending and squatting. The ScrambleScoop sports an aluminum rustproof shaft and comfortable grip, is lightweight yet durable and can easily be stored in a golf bag. When compacted, it is small enough to keep in the front compartment of the golf cart for easy accessibility during play.

But what about the mechanical arm that then takes the ball out of the scoop and places it directly onto the tee? We can only assume that's sold separately? Because that ball isn't going to tee itself up.
