About Golf Carts and How To Select One :
At some point, we reach the point where using a golf cart becomes an experience and lets us think about buying one one day. I played with those who use a cart for eighteen holes and also play 9 extra holes to exercise. It's good if you have time up your sleeve. Nevertheless, golf carts are not only a time saver, but come with a whole bunch of benefits that should not be overlooked. Here are a few things you need to know.
Golf carts are small vehicles, originally designed to transport golfers and their equipment on the course with less effort and faster than walking. Now they are used everywhere: airports, universities, warehouses, farms, etc. A mix of hobby and utility, golf carts are also purchased for personal use.
Golf carts are also called "golf cars," which is more technically correct because the carts are not self-propelled, or as "utility vehicles," especially by manufacturers who reserve the term for vehicles used on the golf course.
Types of golf carts
If you're thinking of buying a golf cart, it's important to know exactly what you'll be using it for.
If you want a nice low-pollution, easy-to-drive vehicle to get around your neighborhood, you need a standard golf cart and you can choose from a wide variety of accessories and options.
If you live in a community where golf carts are permitted on the road, you can equip the vehicle with appropriate safety features (blinkers, brake lights, windshields, seat belts and headlights). There are communities that encourage the use of electric golf carts because of their lack of pollutants, lack of noise and pedestrian safety.
Another category of golf carts are commercial and industrial vehicles and they are used in various ways. They are used to transport tools, turf and fertilizer to office parks, cemeteries, sports complexes, etc. Foremen and managers use them to effectively supervise activities. Golf carts are also used on large farms or ranches, to carry large loads.
Choosing the right golf cart
Before you buy a golf cart, you need to gather information about your driving range, such as: the type of surfaces, hills and weather. For example, if you need it for use in a warehouse, a low-power vehicle is preferable because it is more economical. On the other hand, if you want to drive it on a hilly golf course, you need a much more powerful vehicle. You should also estimate the physical size of the trolley, the weight and the number of passengers you want it to carry. There are many brands to choose from, and as in all other areas, each manufacturer has its own strengths and weaknesses. The main manufacturers of golf carts are Club Car, EZ Go and Yamaha. It's best to test the models you're considering and see how you like them.
Petrol or electric golf carts
Electric golf carts have an electric motor powered by standard lead-acid batteries. The batteries are recharged by plugging them into a standard power outlet. Power choices range from 24 volts to 72 volts, but the most common are the 36- and 48-volt models. Electric vehicles are much more popular than gasoline-powered vehicles because of their lack of pollutants, lack of noise and low operating costs: their operation is five to ten times cheaper than a gasoline model.
Petrol golf carts are always the first choice for specific applications. They are a good choice for carrying heavy loads or for agriculture and hunting.
Golf cart pricing
Prices for new golf carts range from $4,000 for a bare bones model to more than $10,000 for luxury models, including fancy wheels, lights, improved padding radios and mobile phone chargers.
If you're not willing to spend that much on a golf cart, but still want to buy one, you should consider buying a used one. They can be found for as little as $2,000. Golf courses need a large number of golf carts and they always want them to be in perfect condition. They constantly exchange used golf carts with new ones. That's why you can always find many used but good golf carts on the market.
If you are a golfer, you must certainly understand the pleasure and benefits of driving a silent and non-polluting vehicle like the golf cart. But even if playing golf isn't part of your passions, you need to consider all the benefits a golf cart could bring you. This can help you a lot in your daily activities and it could also be the perfect way to relax and enjoy beautiful scenery views on the course.
