Golf For Golfers

Golf carts do not solely affect the world of golf as they are used around the world for multiple purposes.  With that said, it is very important to understand the decisions that can be made with concern to what kind of golf carts can be purchased not only on the open market, but also with customization.

Golf carts, sometimes referred to as golf cars, can be made to the specifications of the purchaser, if they desire it.  Different colors can be available to change the look of the cart, and golf cart accessories can be put on the cart prior to purchase so that no additional changes have to be made after the cart is in the purchaser’s possession.

While used golf carts are a great option if you are looking for a more economical choice, they often do not provide the same benefits as a custom golf cart.  When making the decision to choose the golf cart that you desire, it is definitely a safe bet to buy a custom cart in order to assure it matches your desired specs and energy intake, consumers often prefer gas golf carts and electric golf carts depending on how often they plan on using the carts.  These common choices are also enhanced with the other features that are more unique for a golf cart to have, including golf cart seat covers, windshields, and headlights.

Custom Golf Carts and Cars are all the rage there are even new hummer and roadster models available

Here are just some of the golf cart accessories that you will find

Golf Carts — An Amazingly Diversified Niche Industry

Golfers out for a Sunday afternoon game just take them for granted on the golf course, and never think about their origin. I am talking about golf carts, those miniature vehicles dotting each golf course. Even so, golf cart production is a multi-million dollar industry and different systems abound. Golf carts are manufactured as miniature cars, and golf-cart corporations provide leasing and financing choices just as the huge car corporations do.

Golf originates from a medieval game played on the coast of Scotland in the 15th century. Golfers would hit a pebble instead of a manufactured ball around the sand dunes employing a stick or wide 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 wasn’t invented until 1848 and might be hit the maximum distance of 225 yards. In 1899 rubber balls were invented that may reach distances of 430 yards if hit by a professional. Golf sticks evolved into carefully weighted golf clubs, and in the 1880’s the use of golf club bags became fashionable. The caddie, a servant who carted all the player’s gear aound the golf course, had his burden lessened in the early 1950’s by the introduction of the golf cart.

The 1st golf cart manufacturers were E-Z-Go, Pargo, Harley Davidson and Cushman. The cost was astoundingly high for this era, $1200, however as even more manufacturers entered the field it dropped to $600, still a steep price for this era in inflationary terms. Fifty years later, E-Z-Go is still producing golf carts today. There are 100s of golf cart manufacturers listed online, and virtually all of these corporations specialize solely in these vehicles, and don’t produce any larger cars.

The 1st golf carts were gas-powered, however recently the market has shifted to even more battery-powered systems. Golf carts can be customized just like cars, and lift kits and ATV wheels are sold to golfers who wish to express their individuality out on the course. There are corporations which specialize in creating entire custom golf cars, or even miniaturized versions of full sized cars, like the Humdinger (Humvee), mini Jeep, Rolls-Royce, Cadillac or even Mercedes-Benz.

Golf carts come in three forms: manual push/pull carts, electric motorized carts, and electric or even gas golf cars that hold passengers as well as gear. Push/pull carts have two to three wheels and a vertical support to hold a golf bag. They are basically just a manual dollies with clips and holders especially adapted for golf gear, and sell for $50 to $100. Moving higher in sophistication, motorized golf caddies cost about $500 all the way to $1000. Golf carts, which resemble dune buggies in size, begin at about $1800 for a small basic model.

Ebay has a massive choice of both new and utilized golf carts at low prices however service can be a problem with the smaller vendors. Check if the vendor has a physical store as well and is not just a reseller of a larger firm. Warranty service can be affected by this.

Manufacturers are also expanding their sales by renaming carts “Electric Utility Vehicles” and suggesting alternate utilizes for them, like hauling lawn equipment and travelling around rural properties.
Frank Hague is sort of an expert on golf carts, he does a lot of golfing with them. http://www.golf-carts-2006.info

Golf world kicks off American Express Women’s Golf Month
This month, golf courses across the country will participate in the 2009 American Express Women’s Golf Month, offering women free golf instruction and a variety of other activities – from receptions and seminars, to club fittings and equipment demonstrations. PGA/LPGA Professional Suzy Whaley, LPGA Tour and World Golf Halls of Fame member Nancy Lopez, and fitness expert and philanthropist Donna Richardson Joyner serve as spokeswomen.

“Programs such as American Express Women’s Golf Month, provide the opportunity to experience the game of golf in a comfortable setting, under the guidance of skilled PGA/LPGA Professionals,” said Anne Lyndrup, director of player development for the National Golf Course Owners Association and leader of the Women’s Golf Month organizers. “We look forward to celebrating the game of golf with thousands of people across the country during our fifth anniversary.”

Along with complimentary golf instruction for women 14 and older, participating host facilities plan events such as networking receptions, golf rules and etiquette seminars, club fitting, equipment demonstrations, golf apparel fashion shows, luncheons and contests. Complimentary use of golf clubs will be available at all locations. GCSAA members are encouraged to host open house events and course tours to share information about golf courses and the environment.

American Express Women’s Golf Month is part of the national Play Golf America campaign. It is coordinated by industry-leading organizations, including GCSAA, Executive Women’s Golf Association, Ladies Professional Golf Association, National Golf Course Owners Association and The PGA of America. For more information, including a list of local participating facilities, visit PlayGolfAmerica.com.

In its first four years, more than 105,000 people nationwide have been introduced or re-introduced to the game of golf during Women’s Golf Month, which premiered in 2005 as Women’s Golf Week. In 2008, 1,208 facilities nationwide hosted events with 37,350 consumers attending. Of those consumers, 47 percent were new customers to the facility and 32 percent were new golfers. Host facilities reported a median of $3,320 in revenues generated from people who continued to pursue the game following American Express Women’s Golf Month.

The best two golf mats on the market are the Country Club Elite practice mat and the Proplay golf training mat. Both of these high quality mats are made by J.R. Mats Inc. out of West Chester Pa. The company is small but it takes great pride in its customer service. The difference between the two golf mats is that CCE can take a real tee. The Proplay mat is a great deal better than your average golf range mat. You can’t go wrong with either mat. Don’t delay order yours today!

The very best practice device a golfer can have is the outdoor putting green. You can use it for chipping and putting depending on what your choice is. Your putting game is the most important aspect of your golf game. You can avoid the dreaded three putt by practice putting from many different distances. You can make a contest of it with your buddies and improve at the same time. So don’t delay, order your new putting green today.

The other day my friend and I decided to try out my new outdoor putting green. We decided to make a contest of it with prizes and all. We each had one turn putting to each of the four hole locations. Since it was my home putting turf I let him go first. My brand new putting green was perfect and the ball rolled true. To make a long story short I won the putting contest but only by sudden death on the last hole. We both had a great time and we promised we will do it again the following week.

A very old friend invited me over to his house to try out his backyard putting green the other day.  I w2s surprise not only to find a beautiful artificial putting green, but also a opportunity to hit some wedges into the green from 30-50 yards.  So after throwing a few pitches  to the synthetic putting green and i might  add sticking a few, we picked up the short sticks and started practicing our putting stroke.  Now,  i have my own portable putting green, but this was pure pleasure to be practicing putting on such a realistic artificial putting green that brought back memories to the last round and missed and made puts of previous rounds played.
