If you have the pleasure of owning a golf cart, then I’m sure most of you know how much fun they are to cruise around the neighborhood or town in. I know for myself, any chance I get to drive my golf cart, I take it – and living in Palm Springs allows me to take advantage of it quite often. Alas, in case you need more convincing even after having the experience for yourself (or you’re a first time buyer having trouble convincing “The Mrs” that you need to purchase that sweet, screaming red Club Car with a 6 inch lift kit and 650 amp curtis controller), here are 7 great reasons to drive your golf cart more often – or purchase one for those of you who identify with the latter situation.
Having fixed golf carts for 35 years, the one thing that most golf cart mechanics dislike is the Noise, or Intermittent “no go”. Let’s look at how you can help to diagnose these issues.
The project started with a basic ParCar golf cart powered by electricity. Very little of that original cart survived the transition. Countless hours were spent finding or building the right parts to put the Player Special together. Hoonigan shot video of the entire process which we followed back in April of this year. When you create something for the first time, there are constant adjustments that need to be made to have everything work together and to make the cart safe to drive.
It is commonly known that electric carts are almost totally quiet, like a Prius you can take on the course. Gas powered carts do make noise, but Yamaha indicates their new QuieTech has the lowest decibel level of any gas cart on the market (Interesting Video Demonstration Here). That’s a substantial claim, which they say results in noise comparable to an electric cart. We’ll see how that works out in reality, but it is a feature that could give them a decided advantage.
Perhaps the only thing worse than shanking your seven iron into the fairway bunker would be having your cart give up the ghost on number 12. You’re just starting to get your rhythm, and now nothing is happening when you depress the pedal. Carts – like swings – benefit from attention and care. We’ve narrowed it down to five critical things you can do to keep your round moving toward a good score.
Golf Cart Resource can help you make a purchasing decision by giving you a broad picture of what carts cost, with a little golf cart history thrown in for good measure. We’ll start by explaining that the term “golf cart” has evolved to mean the carts we drive around a golf course or on the street. Originally, a golf cart meant the pull carts designed to hold one bag and be moved with human effort or the aid of electric power. The original two-passenger cart we know today was called a golf car, because it was driven and powered like an automobile. Contemporary use has evolved to the point where every conveyance used to play golf is called a golf cart.
Mercedes-Benz has long been a highly desirable automobile because of its engineering, timeless design and overall luxury. The Mercedes star is a sign of quality and personal achievement throughout the modern world.
Now, Luxe Electric Car in Palm Desert, CA has made it possible to have a mini-Mercedes in the garage that you can take out onto the golf course and around the neighborhood. And, it has a wide range of luxury features that allow it to be mentioned in the same breath as the automobile.
Meet the Club Car Onward “Snowstorm”. Club Car, an Ingersoll Rand company, has created a truly unique golf cart that stands out in the crowd. On first look, the beautifully designed Limited Edition Onward feels like a rough and tumble Winter Wonderland that Santa Claus himself would upgrade to from his sleigh and reindeer.
Driving a golf cart is simply not the same as driving an automobile. There are different concerns and potential problems that could lessen your safety on the course. Here are five basic concepts that will keep you rolling down the fairways without worry.
1) Watch Your Speed (Obvious, but We Have to Say It)
The phrase “speed kills” does not normally apply to golf carts on the golf course. Speed, however, is one thing you can concentrate on that will keep you out of harm’s way. Excessive speed in a cart can cause serious injuries.
