To be clear, btw, this is a tiny electric golf cart that kicks some butt:

I'm about ready to bite the bullet and admit that my days of carrying my bag up and down the hills here are about over.  This review came at a good time, I'm looking seriously at the QOD.  I see that right now I can get 3 accessories at no charge, which would you recommend?  I'm leaning toward the scorecard holder, and the storage pouch, and undecided on the third.  I'm leaning away from the cell phone holder (I usually leave mine in the car) and the drink holder (since it can't hold a Gatorade bottle), which leaves the umbrella holder, and the trunk storage bag.  Any suggestions?

The QODs are very popular at my club;  if I were going to get one that I don't have to push myself, this is what I'd get too.

As for the drink holder, why not get one of those insulated water bottles that keep drinks cold for X many hours?  Then you can get the drink holder.  Before you go to the course, put ice in the bottle and pour in your sports drink.  Then it's still cold when you go for it.

I offer that as a suggestion because I also wouldn't make use of the cell phone holder, umbrella holder, or trunk storage bag, but I make frequent use of my (Sun Mountain, not QOD) cart's drink holder.

I know if you're posting on your phone you can't see the signature on the OP, but it says:

Thank you.

That said, what the heck… we may as well post here for this particular topic now that it's a few posts deep already.

Umbrella holder, storage pouch, scorecard holder. The last you could replace with the clean trunk thing (I haven't tested that), though.

The umbrella holder can also keep you in the shade, even if you live where it's sunny.

Well I guess I will post too... I'm interested in something like this but like the remote and the way some others follow you. I don't like the 3k price tag though so I may have to let it go and get this one.

I've had the "remote" ones and the "follow" ones and the thing is… they're often more hassle than they're worth. You worry about remote range. Whether the cart can "hear" the remote. Whether it's following you the right way, or the slopes you're walking on… etc.

KISS.

IMO.
