Next Time: Get A Golf Cart
from: B Walsh You probably just take them for granted when you play golf, and
never think about their origin. I'm talking about golf carts,
those miniature vehicles dotting every golf course. However,
golf cart production is a multi-million dollar industry and
different models abound. They are treated as small cars, and
golf-cart companies provide leasing and financing options just
as the big car companies do.
Golf originates from a medieval game played on the coast of
Scotland during the 15th century. Golfers would hit a pebble
instead on a ball around the sand dunes using a stick or club.
As time passed, stones were exchanged for man-made balls, the
earliest of which were thin leather bags stuffed with feathers.
The gutta-percha ball was not invented until 1848 and could be
hit a maximum distance of 225 yards. In 1899 rubber balls were
invented that could reach distances of 430 yards. Golf sticks
evolved into carefully weighted golf clubs, and in the 1880's
golf club bags first became fashionable. The caddie, a servant
who carted all the player's gear aound the golf course, had his
burden lessened by the invention of the golf car in the early
1950's.
The first golf car manufacturers were E-Z-Go, Pargo, Harley
Davidson and Cushman. The price was astoundingly high for this
era, $1200, but as more manufacturers entered the field it
dropped to $600, still high in terms of inflation. E-Z-Go still
manufactures golf cars today. There are hundreds or golf car
manufacturers listed on the internet, and most of these
companies specialize in these small vehicles, and do not make
larger cars.
The first golf cars were gas-powered, but recently the market
has shifted to more battery-powered models. Golf carts can be
customized just like cars, and lift kits and ATV wheels are sold
to golfers who want to stand out on the course. There are
companies which specialize in creating entire custom golf cars,
or miniaturized versions of full sized cars, such as the
Humdinger (Humvee), mini Jeep, Rolls-Royce, Cadillac or
Mercedes-Benz.
Golf carts come in 3 forms: manual push/pull carts, electric
motorized carts, and electric or gas golf cars that hold
passengers as well as gear. Push/pull carts have 2 or 3 wheels
and a vertical support for a golf bag. They are basically manual
dollies with clips and holders especially adapted for golf gear,
and sell for $50 to $100. Moving up a level in sophistication,
motorized golf caddies cost approximately $500 all the way up to
$1000. Golf cars, which resemble dune buggies in size, start at
about $1800 for a small basic model.
Ebay has a large selection of both new and used golf carts at
low prices but service can be a problem with small vendors.
Manufacturers are also expanding their sales by renaming carts
"Electric Utility Vehicles" and suggesting alternate uses for
them, such as hauling lawn equipment and traveling around rural
properties.
