My husband recently suffered an injury that still allows him to golf (Thank God!) but makes it very difficult to walk for long distances. We live on a course in a golf community and used to just walk to the clubhouse, but now that's impossible, and it just seems silly to get in the car and drive a block away, especially since the walk from the parking lot is almost as long as the walk from our house.

I've checked with our club, and they would be willing to allow us to use our own motorized golf cart so I'm thinking about surprising my husband with one this year for Father's Day. I've been shopping around a bit online and most of the sites I've found relate only to non-golf uses and modifying carts into things that look like monster trucks, so I thought this might be a good place to look for advice.

So... can anyone offer tips and ideas of what to look for in shopping for a golf cart? This is one of the golf carts I'm looking at, but I'm just not really sure what I should be looking for. Any advice is appreciated. TIA!

That seems like a reasonable rate but you get what you pay for... I might contact some clubs around you that might have a used cart you could buy from them. You might pay $1500 but get a cart originally worth $4000 or so. Plus you'd have a chance to check it out first, in person.

The cart I see is for a single rider...get some pricing on ezgo, yamaha and clubcar re-conditioned models. A decent one will be in the area of $2000 and can not only hold two golfers but I would bet that even 5 years from now, you could sell it for $1200 - $1500

      I need… 1, 8, 10, 11, 14, and 17. Today… On 1, my alarm went off mid backswing, but I was playing a blue SuperSoft anyway and hit it okay, but just moved my ball up to where Sculley's was a bit as we were pressuring a threesome that jumped out ahead of us. On 8, I hit a good 3W, a really good 9I, and lipped out the 12-footer. On 10… good drive, god-awful second. Chipped to four feet. On 11… pulled left onto a slope, chipped just past the hole to four feet. On 14, left the 50-foot putt three feet short. On 17, good 3W, good 9I, pulled the putt a few inches, so missed it a few inches left from 16 feet.

      Modern PGA Tour Bunker Shot

      By saevel25 ·

      I found this video... Old Method 1. Open the clubface a ton 2. Open the stance a ton 3. Swing along the foot line New Method 1. Set up with the handle lower, and the ball further away form the body. 2. The clubface still opens up, but lowering the handle helps in not having to open the stance as much or for some keep the stance closed. Keeping the stance closed allows them to keep their weight forward much easier.  Now, I question that the PGA Tour players are hitting steeply down into the sand. I think they may have gotten this wrong in the video. You can load up the weight on the front foot, and still hit the ball shallow. The amount of sand taken out in some of the swings is not that much, and the divot doesn't look that deep.  Thoughts?

      Model Local Rule Rocks and Roots (Please Let Me Know Your Thoughts)

      By saevel25 ·

      I would say I am not a fan. Honestly, I never ran into a situation where a tree root was anywhere close to the fairway. I am not a fan of free relief from a natural occurring feature of the course. Guess what, you have an option, unplayable lie. I know people think fairways should be pristine and free of all things that could inhibit your shot. I've played courses were big a** trees overhang a fairway and you have no shot at the green. It happens. If you think you will injure yourself, or do not want to chip out sideways from a root, then take an unplayable lie.  If you apply this rule, what is stopping someone from not being able to take a right-handed swing to being able to take a swing? A tree could be in the fairway (think hole #18 at Pebble Beach). They are like, I need relief. Now they get to have a shot at the green when the tree is there as an obstruction, something to play around.  Sorry, I do not think this is a good rule at all. If the course has that many trees, that it comes up a ton. Then vote as a club to have them removed.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By klineka ·

      I've thought about this quite a bit since I've started using Shot Scope. Not all shots from a certain yardage that end up a certain distance from the hole are created equal, but I guess the thought is that over time those should even out since there would be other times where you're hitting into a funnel pin or something where it plays "easier" than what the SG suggests.
