Consider Buying a Golf Cart
Summary
Golf carts, the small vehicles you see on every golf course, are part of a multi-million dollar industry with a wide range of models. Often treated like small cars, they come with leasing and financing options similar to those of major automobile companies.The History of Golf
Golf traces its origins back to a medieval game played along the Scottish coast in the 15th century. Initially, players would hit a pebble around sand dunes using a stick or club. Over time, stones were replaced with handmade balls, the earliest being leather bags stuffed with feathers. The gutta-percha ball appeared in 1848, allowing for hits up to 225 yards, and by 1899, rubber balls were making distances of 430 yards achievable. Golf clubs evolved alongside, becoming meticulously weighted, and by the 1880s, golf bags became fashionable. The invention of the golf cart in the early 1950s eased the burden of caddies.Evolution of the Golf Cart
The pioneers of golf cart manufacturing included E-Z-Go, Pargo, Harley Davidson, and Cushman. Initially priced at $1200, competition eventually brought the cost down to $600. E-Z-Go remains a key player in the market today, amidst hundreds of manufacturers specializing in these small vehicles, distinct from larger automobile production.Originally powered by gas, modern golf carts have largely transitioned to battery power. Just like cars, they can be customized with features like lift kits and ATV wheels. Some companies even create custom models, mimicking full-sized cars like the Humvee, Jeep, Rolls-Royce, Cadillac, or Mercedes-Benz.
Types of Golf Carts
Golf carts come in three types:1. Manual Push/Pull Carts: Equipped with two or three wheels and a vertical support for a golf bag, these are essentially manual dollies with special clips and holders, priced between $50 and $100.
2. Electric Motorized Carts: Offering more sophistication, these caddies range from $500 to $1000.
3. Gas or Electric Golf Cars: Resembling small dune buggies, these start at around $1800 for basic models and offer seating for passengers along with gear storage.
Expanding Uses
Manufacturers are broadening their market by marketing these vehicles as "Electric Utility Vehicles," promoting their utility beyond the golf course for tasks like hauling lawn equipment and navigating rural properties.Buying Options
eBay provides a wide selection of new and used golf carts at competitive prices.
