This is either a brilliant idea or ... not. But trust the Aussies to be the ones to come up with it. Doomed in the US I would think due to 110 kg (242 lb) weight limit.

I'll be honest. That looks like fun. But I'd rather walk.

I also see the usual issues of  golf carts and alcohol being compounded with golf skates: "HEY, hold my beer and watch me jump this bunker like that guy on the X-games."

I want one.  If it could last 2 rounds in a day I would own it if they sold them in the states.  I'm sure courses would not like them since they cant charge for a cart and get more of your money.

There's a distinct lack of sidehill and relatively steep up- and down-hill traversals in that promo footage.

Fairly narrow tires too.......I'm thinking that it would be a disaster on a wet course.  Looks to me like all the disadvantages of a normal golf cart, but none of the advantages.

Is that because of our penchant for fully loaded OEM staff bags?

I was going to comment on how it was hard for me to believe that more than 2% of golfers weigh more than 242 lbs. But I didn't factor in the weight of the golf bag itself. I'm 6'5" tall, 205 lbs. and figured I'd easily make it under the weight limit. But I'd guess my bag weighs 35-40 lbs when loaded, and may actually be cutting it close with the weight limit.

Lol, that what the lady at SearsTown used to say, "I think the regulars are a little snug, he needs to be in the husky". Oh, the shame. :-P

IMO, it would make being on the golf course feel too much like being in Walmart (anybody who's ever shopped at a Walmart knows exactly what I mean!)

Quick release battery and 30 second changeover means clubs can hire these out 2 x 18 hole games daily no worries or 1x18 + 1x9 hole straight out. At recent PGA show Florida GSC™ had over 200 enquires for sales most from golf clubs looking at implementing them for $20 rental per 18 holes. Yep there coming to a course near you soon.

Just replying back regarding tire size, new 10 inch tires and duel motors, you should check out Golf Skate caddy youtube page as those guys have tested up some steep hills with no problems. Also plenty of stats that show their 7.1 psi footprint and footmark on the course causes only 20% wear on grass surface compared to a single golf cart. Massive difference in course maintenance and well being. Plus the new 2014 models are spectacular, check out their website...easy to find

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
