Golf Carts

While many people think that isn’t really unless you walk the course, the reality is that some people just can’t do that. That’s where carts come in handy. This author personally won’t play very often without the benefit of a cart, but that’s just my preference – I tend to be a little lazy. But with the new carts that are out today, they really can make a little more enjoyable.

Besides not having to haul your bag around with you, the cart can also help you avoid fatigue and carry along a cooler of snacks, soda, or beer along with you if that’s what you like to do when you golf. You can also get a good rest on a hot day when you use a cart to navigate the course.

There are basically three big cart manufacturers that dominate the cart market:

* Yamaha * EZ Go * Club Car

Some carts are powered with small gas engines while others are electrically powered. The electric carts were the first mass-produced electric vehicles for private consumer use. Modern carts may have car-like styling despite being no bigger than a traditional cart. Accessories such as audio entertainment systems, custom wheels, and custom body panels in an assortment of colors are now being offered as choices for the personal cart.

Golf carts aren’t just used on the course. Some small communities or neighborhoods will use a cart where their lack of pollutants, lack of noise, and safety for pedestrians and other cars are beneficial. While purpose-built for general transportation, these are called Neighborhood Electric Vehicles and they have various operating limitations such as top speed and heavy regulation on street use. They do resemble traditional carts in style, but some are enclosed to accommodate for use in all types of weather.

There is a huge market for aftermarket parts on carts. Each major manufacturing company has their own line of aftermarket parts to enhance off-road capabilities. Because carts can have a long life, people often buy used carts making these aftermarket parts very valuable to people who need to fix broken parts of their cart.

Golf carts are considered by many golfers to be an essential part of the game. Others just think the cart make a course more dangerous. Either way, the truth is carts can really help make the game more enjoyable by leaps and bounds.
