Where Was The First Golf Course To Use Golf Carts?

Golf is a great game, and over the years the number of players playing the game is increasing more and more. The golf courses are usually very large and it becomes quite tedious for the golf players to move across the courses on foot. Carrying the golf cart across the golf courses also tends to become a very weary task, and this is why many golf clubs provided the golf players with caddies. The caddies used to carry the golf bags for the players, but still the players had to walk across the length of the golf course. To make matters better, clubs started providing golf carts to their members, when they wanted to play a round of golf. This made moving around the golf courses much easier for the players.

Since their introduction to the international market, golf carts have become very popular with golf players around the world. The first golf carts were manufactured to help those golf players who had some kind of disabilities. They were introduced some where in the 1940’s. Though the initial golf carts were much tougher as they needed to be pulled along, several innovations were made to it, and later on golf carts were available, that could be driven along just like cars. The first golf cart which could be driven along ran on gasoline and was manufactured by Merlin. L. Harvolson. The very first golf course that used golf carts was located at the town called The Villages in Florida.

Since the introduction of the gasoline powered golf carts, many companies tried to make innovations to them, and thus led to the introduction of the electric golf carts. The electric powered golf carts became more popular than their gasoline powered counterparts and are much in vogue nowadays. However using electric golf carts has its share of disadvantages too, as users need to ensure that their carts have enough charge in them to cover the whole distance, otherwise you have to search for a power source when the charge is down. Thus electric golf carts should be limited to use closer to your homes, so that you can charge them when required. With gasoline powered golf carts you would not face the problem, as you will be able to carry some gasoline with you all the time.

Although golf carts were primarily manufactured to help people in golf course, people have found to use them for various purposes. Nowadays people use golf carts to travel short distances, even though they are not granted by the government to be used on normal roads. Manufacturers allow you to make all the additions you want to make to golf carts to make them more suitable for your use. They are still considered to be a great part of the wonderful game of golf and makes life far easier for the golfers.
