Practical Tips of Golf Cart Rules and Etiquette
After paying your greens fee and cart fee, but before you clamber into that golf cart and speed off to the first tee, make sure you know what the course's cart rules are. Are you allowed to drive the cart onto the fairway? Or does the course have restrictions in place? Sometimes, the golf cart rules change day-to-day at the same course, depending on conditions. However, you also need to be aware of that golf cart rules or some restrictions. Or it will you make you confuse.

Never drive the cart within hazard boundary lines, or within about 10 yards of water hazards or bunkers, or within about 50 yards of greens (unless you're on a designatedcart path, of course). These areas are especially susceptible to damage by the wheels of golf carts. Never drive onto or close to tee boxes, either, unless on the cart path.

Never drive the cart through mud, on or off the fairway.

Never drive through casual water on any part of the golf course (unless it's a little bit of water over a paved cart path). The wheels of the cart can do serious damage to the turf, including leaving ruts, in wet areas.

Never go joyriding in the golf cart. In other words, don't act stupid! People do get injured in cart accidents. See golf cart safety for specific suggestions.

About the golf cart’s etiquette, there are still a lot. And we will tell you more nest time.

You may have experience more or less electrical problems of electric E-Z-GO golf carts as a result of normal wear and tear. Common problems experienced by cart owners with different golf carts is that the cart will start losing speed when going uphill. Before spending money on a mechanic, see if you can repair the problem yourself. This guide covers some common troubleshooting tips to pinpoint your cart's electrical problems. Here is the Best E-Z-GO Electric Golf Carts Repair Guideline.

First of all, verify that your lights and all other golf cart peripheries such as a built-in GPS or radio were turned off after the cart's last use. If they were not, and your cart will not start, then you will need to recharge your cart's batteries. Follow the best E-Z-GO electric golf carts repair guideline and you may find it easy to repair your golf cart.

Second, if your cart is experiencing loss of power, or inconsistent power availability, your battery connections may be loose, frayed or corroded. If any appear significantly frayed or broken, you will need to replace the battery cable. If they look intact, twist each battery connection back and forth to test for tightness. Follow the best E-Z-GO electric golf carts repair guideline and you may find it easy to repair your golf cart.

Third, visually inspect the battery terminals and connections for significant indications of corrosion. Corrosion can result in sporadic power loss while operating your golf cart as well as loss of power when traveling uphill. If there is a large amount present, attempt to remove the corrosion using a rag lightly dipped in mineral water. Follow the best E-Z-GO electric golf carts repair guideline and you may find it easy to repair your golf cart.

Fourth, find the ignition wire on your golf cart by tracing the golf-cart key assembly to the cart's starter. Most E-Z-GO golf cart ignition wires plug into the solenoid and can become dislodged when the cart is operated on heavy terrain. If the wire is frayed or corroded, consider replacing it. Follow the best E-Z-GO electric golf carts repair guideline and you may find it easy to repair your golf cart.

Fifth, verify that your golf cart transmission is fully in the Park position when not being operated. Some electrical issues found in E-Z-GO golf carts arise from the transmission selector switch not being placed fully in the correct position for the desired means of transportation. Follow the best E-Z-GO electric golf carts repair guideline and you may find it easy to repair your golf cart.

Electric Golf Cart
A golf cart is a small vehicle designed to carry around two golfers and their golf clubs around the golf course. With a golf cart one can go around a golf course faster and with less effort as compared to walking around the ground. Golf carts are essentially powered by small gas engines or are electrically powered. Modern-day golf carts, due to their styling and accessories included (such as audio entertainment systems, custom wheels, and custom body panels), are in way, small cars. The first electrical vehicle to be produced was the electric golf cart, for private consumer use only. An electric golf cart is a simpler and n easier way to get around the golf course. This golf cart cuts down on the amount of time and energy that one would spend to complete one round of a golf course. Electric golf carts are popular because of their lack of noise and pollutant. These carts are also used to travel around the neighborhood due to their slow speed, as a safety precaution for pedestrians. The design of golf carts has basically remained the same over the years. However, some improvements have been made to the standard features. For example, the batteries of the electric golf carts have been improvised, so that they need not be recharged time and again. Hence, electric golf carts, at present, run for relatively longer periods of time. Modifications such as windshield wipers, headlights, brake lights, turn signals, rear view mirrors etc, are included in many electric golf carts that make operating them on the roads safer. One would also come across electric golf cart motors, parts, batteries, accessories such as golf bags and trolleys etc., over the internet and at leading sports outlets.




 
A new vehicle costs around $5,000, and a used model runs much less. They get decent gas mileage, and sometimes require no gas at all, with electric models good for around 20 miles per charge. They’re also increasingly OK to operate on town roads around the country. Maybe the perfect car for you isn’t a car at all, but a golf cart.

Look around the country—especially in areas with sizeable retiree populations—and there’s a good chance you’ll find golf carts far away from the links. There is a town in Minnesota that over the summer OK’d golf carts (ATVs too) to be driven on streets, and proposals in small cities in Texas would allow carts on popular hike and bike trails and elsewhere within town borders.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that vendors such as M&M Golf Cars (yes, it’s cars, not carts) now sell a large percentage of their vehicles for non-golf course purposes. M&M, the largest golf cart dealership in Missouri, sells 40% of its inventory for usage somewhere other than the golf course. Roughly 85% of resold golf carts wind up used away from golf courses. Golf carts can be seen cruising around at campgrounds, car dealerships, seminaries, retirement communities, college campuses, and more. Because they’re quiet to operate, and can be customized with pop-up tents and camouflage paint, golf carts are now being used by hunters as well.

Florida, with its abundance of golf courses and retirement communities, may have the most golf carts per capita in the nation. A Orlando Sentinel story notes the spread of golf carts not just in residential villages, but on roads throughout the state, as more and more towns allow it:

“Every community is different,” said Florida Highway Patrol spokesperson Kim Montes. “It does get confusing. We typically don’t get involved in the municipalities.”

But troopers will stop golf-cart drivers for violations such as driving on the sidewalk or driving under the influence. Drivers must obey all state and local traffic laws, she said.

Montes warned that a golf cart is “not a toy.” But that’s not how many golf cart drivers view them. “This is a toy of the Baby Boomer generation,” Robert Edwards, the National Golf Cart Association’s executive director, told the Arizona Republic, which was prompted to do a story in 2011 after an 85-year-old man was killed behind the wheel of his cart when it collided with an SUV.

More often, injuries occur due to drivers turning too quickly—even 10 mph is too fast for a sharp turn—which can cause carts to flip or drivers or passengers to fly out of the vehicle. The association has posted tons of golf cart accident videos to demonstrate how not to operate their “toy” carts.

“Toy” or not, driving a golf cart drunk can land you in serious trouble. In one notable incident last summer, Mick Brown, the drummer for Ted Nugent’s band—and a 55-year-old member of the Boomer generation—was arrested for driving a golf cart under the influence of alcohol. Brown allegedly stole the cart after a concert and took a couple of women for a ride around the venue, speeding recklessly on a foot path past police officers.

Golf Cart
Reportedly, the first use of a motorized cart on a golf course was by JK Wadley of Texarkana, Texas/Arkansas, who saw a three-wheeled electric cart being used in Los Angeles to transport senior citizens to the grocery store. Later, he purchased a cart and found that it worked poorly on a golf course. The first electric golf cart was custom made in 1932, but did not gain widespread acceptance. In the 1930s until the 1950s the most widespread use of Golf Carts were for those with disabilities who could not walk far. By the mid 1950s the Golf Cart had gained wide acceptance with golfers, with several manufactures (e.g. including Victor Adding Machines and Sears and Roebuck) producing various models. Most were electric.

Merle Williams of Long Beach,California was an early innovator of the electric golf car. He started with knowledge gained from production of electric cars due to World War II gasoline rationing. In 1951 his Marketeer Company began production of an electric golf car in Redlands, California.Cushman began production in 1955, Club Car  in 1958, Taylor-Dunn in 1961, Harley-Davidson in 1963, Yamaha Golf in 1979 and CT&T in 2002.

Max Walker created the first gasoline powered golf car "The Walker Executive" in 1957. Trike shaped with a vespa style front end carried two passengers and bags.
