Any chance they will be employed?  If so, how?

Going slightly OT, but are drones being used to film golf tournaments yet? I wonder what the ruling would be if a ball in flight hit a camera drone?

Drones are used in golf already...a friend's company is doing it now: http://www.steadymotion.com/#!golf-fly-overs/c7zk and he's done tournament work also.

RE: for routing...drones are being used for various 'surveying' needs producing mainly planning level data or digital elevation models/maps and geo-referenced orthophotography.  Drones are fitted with photogrammetry equipment, gps or lidar instruments to produce the data needed for various land planning work...be it golf courses or real estate.  Pretty neat tech and maybe the FAA will continue to allow the use of such.

What about using a GoPro drone to gain access to an event like the Masters?

Once they gain capacity to stream HD video and sound straight to the web, there will be all kinds of applications outside surveillance, including in the sports world.

It's probably closer to happening than we think, buzzing overhead as the final group marches up 18.

Already happening. The Superintendent of Cal Club put this together. Enjoy.

To call in an air strike on a particularly hated tree?

The only way of really finding out a man's true character is to play golf with him. In no other walk of life does the cloven hoof so quickly display itself.

generally it is a rub of the green, play it as it lies, (Rule 19, Ball in Motion, Deflected).
