Golf Course 2

Mark Twain once said, Golf is a good walk spoiled. Perhaps he would have felt differently about the game if he had had his own powered golf cart to zip him along the golf course. In Twain s day, golf courses were typically built on compact parcels of land, and they were often less than 6,000 yards long. Today s golf courses are much different; with courses that sprawl over hundreds of acres (often weaving in and out of rows of homes), and course lengths that are approaching 8,000 yards in some cases. If Twain had been asked to describe the modern game he might have been more apt to say golf is a really, really long

walk.

With golf courses becoming increasingly difficult to walk, and with many courses insisting that golfers rent a powered golf cart, it is no wonder that more and more golfers are purchasing their own golf carts. This is particularly true in golf course communities where members often live near their home course. Owning your own golf cart not only allows you to avoid the recurring charges of golf cart rental fees (although some clubs charge a trail access fee for those using their own golf carts), it also allows golfers to personalize their golf transportation to suit their tastes and needs. Various color schemes, heaters, air conditions, refrigerators, and even radio and television options are available to customize your golf

cart. Luxury golf carts are very popular, and a quick search on the Internet can lead you to dealers who specialize in golf carts that have more features than many full size automobiles.

But just like full size cars, not everyone is interested in a golf cart that has all the bells, whistles, and the price tag of a full sized car. Many golf cart consumers are interested in basic golf course transportation at a reduced cost, and there are certainly many options available for them. While basic golf carts are sold by golf cart dealers, there are avenues that provide the consumer with the opportunity to purchase a used golf cart for a significant discount.

Golf courses frequently purchase new fleets

of golf carts every few years. Consequently, there is always a steady supply of used golf carts on the market. While many of these golf carts are sold to dealers who specialize in used and refurbished golf carts, you may be able to make a purchase directly from the golf course as well. Internet auctions are also another great method of finding a golf cart at a bargain price. As always, a search on the World Wide Web is a great place to start your search for the golf cart that is right for you, your game, and your budget. Whether you opt for the reliability of an electric golf cart, or the power and range of a gasoline powered golf cart, purchasing a golf cart will add an entirely new dimension to your enjoyment of the game of golf.
