The only way I could drive a golf ball is with my car. However, I have two golf carts here on the farm. Replace the bag holders with a cargo bed and they make excellent utility vehicles around a largish place. Our 48V cart even has a receiver hitch and a John Deere trailer...

Those things are $8,000 new.   Either this ad isn't "right" somehow, or Rebecca is dumping her ex's stuff cheap .....

It only makes sense to modify a golf cart for a farm.. Since golf is nothing more then Barnyard pool.. :evil: Golfers take offense at that statement, but I think farmers should, because of the waste of all that good land.. :sad:

I was invited to shoot sporting clays by one of they vendors we use. When I got to the course there were folks unloading their $15,000 Yamaha Rhino or the equivalent from  $10,000 Alumlite trailer being pulled by a $75,000 4 Door diesel Caynonero super duty truck with a 4'-3" bed. Total walking distance of the course was about 1/4 mile done over 2-1/2 hours.

TOUCHE'!!!

I get a kick out of watching old movies, you can get a sense of just how much people suffered without today's modern conveniences. One of my favs was Robert Redford's Little Fauss and Big Halsy, and a scene where the racers' old Dodge truck broke down, and Robert Redford's character literally pulls the seat bottom out of the truck and lounges on it while the other slob fixes the truck. 2 racer's in US cycling's early heyday having fun and competing just as hard as anyone today, in a 2-door pickup with no A/C or PS, and crank-up windows.

How on earth did anyone survive back then.

And don't forget the $1,500 gun case out of which they pulled a $23,000 Perazzi (WG content!) shotgun in order to break $10 worth of clay targets for the day ..... !

I saw a guy on Marble Lake in Michigan (one of those lakes, anyway) a couple of years back with an XL-powered golf cart.  He and his boy had a big cooler on the back and were serving ice-cream to all the kids around the lake for the 4th of July.  Wish I had taken a picture as it sat there and idled.  It was very nicely done with the engine between the seats (not an armrest!) and a big ol' Ed Roth style, billet (lots of billet aluminum) skull head gear shift, but I could see someone very easily getting hurt on something like that.

Its also common knowledge that when you shoot a Perazzi that the shells must only contain solid gold shot. Lead is chumps.
