USB ports in golf carts. Is this a thing now?

I walk, so don't have a large sample space of carts used to draw from. Yeah, it might encourage phone calls but handy for charging.

That would be very handy for keeping the phone from dying while using it for music or gps apps.

I haven't seen it but the carts where we play are still gas jalopies. At my parents club the member owned carts are nicer than my car, worth more too. A family there has a baby blue 57 Chevy cart with alligator hide seat and touch scream AV system. I've seen carts with AC and heat. It's nuts.

Is that a GPS cart? Then it would be used to upload ads, new maps, etc... But now that I know they're there...

You can buy an after market port too that plugs into the cart battery charging port. Very nice for keeping phone and tunes charged for those that care about such things on the course

As a matter of fact, my home course just did exactly this:

Oy, anything that makes it easier to  use a cell phone on the golf course can only be a sign of the coming apocalypse!!

Lol, I like the idea. I use my phone for yardage and to keep my score but it's a battery killer.

There is a local course that has these in their carts. Its really great if you're streaming music or your GPS app sucks your battery life quick. Nice to have, not need to have haha

The battery in my Garmin drains pretty quick on satellite so this would be cool.

It makes sense to have them in the carts, and I hope more courses adopt it.

Yep. The member carts at my club are freaking out of control. Each new cart raises the bar. The "top cart" of a few years ago is now mid-pack.

Of course my cart is very basic and places me DFL in the member cart wars.

Agreed.
