Hello everyone,
As a Transportation Design (basically: car design) major, I am currently involved in a school project where we must research golf carts and their users, and then design/create a new and improved cart concept based on our findings.
We've done a bit of field research talking to people on the course, but as expected, people playing golf generally don't want to be interrupted by a few college kids with notebooks and cameras. Plus, there are obvious rules against trespassing, etc.
So, Plan B is to conduct that research digitally, and here I am.
Our basic questions:
Do you own or rent your golf cart? If you rent, are you generally satisfied with the models offered by the course?
Do you prefer electric carts or gas carts, and why?
What is your take on custom cars (ie Hummers or Rolls-Royces)? Goofy and disrespectful, or cool and fun? Would you drive one? (with this answer, knowing your age would be especially helpful)
Are there any areas needing improvement or general design flaws you've noticed with current carts?
If you had a hand in designing a new cart... What would you most like to see?
These are just basic questions to get a discussion going. Really, any opinions (good or bad), information, data, ideas, etc would be hugely helpful. No idea is too crazy, and any contribution to the discussion helps!
Thanks!
