For Maximum Convenience, Use a Golf Cart Instead of Walking
There are many advantages to using a golf cart rather than walking between holes on the course. But, properly using one without bothering other golfers can be a challenge. Let’s examine some of the many benefits of using a cart, and how to be considerate when using one.
The greatest advantage of using a cart, of course, is that it eliminates the need to walk. Golf courses are often quite large. Even if you’re in good shape, it’s easy to become fatigued if you have to carry your clubs and bags all over the course. A golf cart will help you conserve your energy for your golf game, and you can carry more equipment if you use a cart.
A cart will also shield you from bad weather. For example, if it’s sweltering hot, you’ll soon become fatigued and overheated if you walk the course. But if you take a cart along with plenty of water to beat the heat, you’ll be able to keep cool in the shade. Driving a golf cart can help protect you from overheating in the summer, and can keep you from getting drenched in spring and fall rains.
It’s important to remember that if you don’t use a cart regularly, you might not know when you need to move it, or how to drive it the right way. You might end up running back and forth, which is likely to be a nuisance to other golfers. If you don’t know what you’re doing, using a cart may cause more trouble than good.
Make sure you’re careful when using a cart on wet grass or when the ground is damp. If the area is muddy, you should avoid it. Many courses will ask you not to drive on the rough to minimize the impact. Remember that if your partner is in the driver’s seat and is old enough to drive the cart, you should assume he or she will be doing the driving.
Discuss ahead of time who will move the cart. This way, you won’t forget about it and have to walk back for it. Be sure to get back on the cart path as you approach the green, and always remember to bring the appropriate clubs with you. Be willing to bring your partner’s clubs if needed. When you see facilities nearby, make sure to ask your partner to take a rest stop if necessary.
Plan where you’re going to place the cart in advance, and make sure you park it where it can provide shade if no other source of shade is available. When you’re driving and your partner’s ball is next in play, pull up on the right side of the ball, with the ball placed midway down the length of the cart. That gives your partner a short distance to cover.
Never drive your cart while other players are hitting, and make sure not to move in front of them. When parking near the green, park the cart on the side where you’ll walk off the green. When the ball is on the side or top of a hill, park nearby, but don’t drive on the hill, as this can be dangerous.
Know how far it is to the green by reading the distances or paying attention to the location of bushes, and know how far your clubs are likely to send the ball. If you’re not sure which club you’ll need, bring more than one to avoid having to walk far to the cart again and again.
