Gas Powered Golf Carts
Golf courses getting longer means gas powered golf carts are becoming more of an essential than an indulgence.
Golf is a fantastic game but if you are lugging a 50lb bag around a 6500 yard course plus the tramp from green to tee it becomes an almost military workout.
Gas powered golf carts have been around for decades but it was generally only the well off that could afford one, nowadays the prices have fallen into the budgets of nearly all of us.
This is for a couple of reasons, a: the carts are generally well made and have better four stroke engines so they last longer and b: the cost of a gas powered golf cart has fallen so new cars are selling more and the used cart market is swollen by those being replaced.
The drawback with the gas carts is the emissions and some locales are placing tighter controls on these with the result that in some places gas carts are almost banned.
Another problem is the noise, whereas an electric golf cart is nearly silent the chug of a gas cart is definitely noticeable.
However if you are in an area where these carts are acceptable a gas powered golf cart is a good buy. The trouble with electric carts is if you forget to charge it properly you can be stuck miles from anywhere with no power outlet in sight.
No such problem with the gas cart, perhaps just a long trek to the station for a can of gas.
The range of gas powered golf carts is amazing with basic jobs proliferating there is now a market for custom carts that range from Hummer lookalikes to stretch limo carts.
The golf cart is not only for the golf course, with the explosion in retirement villages and golf villages a cart almost replaces the family car on a day to day basis.
Many gas powered golf carts come with a roof and a stowage area for the trip to the store, once again making the cart a sensible financial investment.
