that thing kicks some major a$$! i played at a private course in AZ and the guy I played with who was one of the committee members had a golf cart with 24" rims and was explaining to me that it was an ongoing joke between the members about whos rims were bigger on there golf cart.

Next time your at a private club take note... grounds keeper equipment by and large have specialty balloon like tires, with minimal tread, and they mostly stay on paths, except when doing repair work in various locations.   Also, most clubs have rules as to where grounds equipment can travel.  For example, my last two clubs did not allow grounds keeper folks to drive their equipment up or down fairways... they stayed on paths then 90* to where they were headed.  Furthermore, equipment is not run over turf for 18 holes, sometimes 4-7 days a week, as members do with their carts.

As always, you turn this and every thread you enter into a forum for you regal us with tales supposedly to impress all who read. Yay for us...

I am a member at a private club. In fact, I spent a number of years on the grounds committee. I am indeed aware that, "by and large", most equipment uses specialty tires. And while its obvious great caution is taken when traversing across fairways, etc, it's not completely avoidable.

That's neither here nor there however. With the proper tires (and you can apparently tell those are not proper), that one off cart would do as much harm as a regular golf cart. Yes, CLEARLY, there is more golf cart traffic than maintenance traffic. But unless you have a convoy of carts flying down each fairway every fifteen minutes, I'm willing to wager damage to turf will be at an absolute minimum- even with the aforementioned above...

Kind of makes me think of Buzz Killington.

[TheMackDaddy]

I think real men don't use golf carts.

[MtlJeff]

the owner of my former club had a novelty golf cart aswell. I think it was like an old cadillac or something but its a few years ago now. You could always tell when he was on the golf course though. LOL

great thing about being the owner too is no one gives you crap about how much it weighs!

Not to mention you would have to drink PBR and smoke Winstons.

ITS NOT A DUALLY

[Jim Clark]

I love it. The attention to detail is amazing. I agree it needs a sleeper cab. Gotta have a place for the poor tired cart girls to take a rest break.

[lumberman2462]

The little side gas tank is a nice touch....I like someone that pays attention to detail.  I think the next version needs to have the sleeper cab - converted to a bar.

Nothing wrong with a PBR if it's a million degrees outside and the beer is mind numbingly cold. Guess that goes for a lot of cheap beers though.

Winston's are icky though.

Haha...such an apt comparison! Well done sir!

I would absolutely grab John Daly, throw on a custom Titleist Tour Trucker snapback hat, rip the sleeves off my shirt and enjoy many rounds of golf.

The absolute best would be if some expensive private club mandated that all members use this style of cart, and installed CB radios in each one. How fun would it be to track scores in the club tournaments, yell about draining that 25 footer to everyone, etc?

CB radios would be the shizz on there   That would probably be the most fun club ever and probably be replicated all over the south

That would be great. Would be cool if it could also keep pies and pasties warm. A guy at my course who has his own custom buggy has a compartment under the buggy that can keep stuff warm. Awesome!

A real man's golf cart.

That's a great cart.  However, carts like that are not typically allowed on the turf of most good clubs.  Its why clubs have weight and tire restrictions.  A cart like that would do a lot of damage to turf just driving it over 18.

even if it had to be cart path only, would be so worth it!

[prsgtrman]

haha awesome!!

[Sean2]

I wonder how fast it goes? It looks like it would tip over quite easily.

[Pepperturbo]

I was clocked at 50mph in mine, and my buddy passed me.

PS. I suppose he beat me so bad, it could be said he pasted me.  Both of our carts were modified electric... and street legal.
