The game of golf is increasing in popularity day by day. Popular with all ages and sexes, golf it is a great game. Walking around a scenic golf course, pitting your skills against your fellow players is challenging and it is good exercise. Originally a game only for the wealthy, golf is now enjoyed by all. You will often see people using motorized carts on the green. Some people also have golf cart enclosures.
Although many people still carry their own bags, or have a caddy, golf carts are very popular. They can be very helpful in speeding play along so that players don’t wait too long at a tee. They can be rented at the golf course, or you can buy your own.
You can buy a brand new cart from $4,645 to a staggering $17,000! A luxury cart, modified to your own specs, includes ball cleaners, lift kits and upgraded speed controls. There are many second hand carts which are reasonably priced.
Once you buy your new cart, you should consider other accessories. The most important accessory is a golf cart enclosure. These are invaluable in the searing midday sun or windy and rainy conditions.
For between $90 and $300, you can buy a very good golf cart enclosure. An enclosure will protect you and fellow golf mates from bad weather during your game. It is ideal for a golfer that may have a problem walking for any length of time. Another advantage is that an enclosure will keep the cart in good condition.
The frame and seats of the cart are exposed to extreme heat and unfavorable weather conditions, as is your golf equipment. Using an enclosure prevents this damage. There are golf cart enclosures that you can easily fit yourself.
Most cart enclosures are either made of waterproof material such as nylon, and feature clear plastic windows. There are newer enclosures made of aluminum with sliding doors. They are not cheap, but are becoming more popular due to their functionality and durability.
Choosing an enclosure is really down to personal preferences. Weigh up want you can spend as well as how long you want it to last. Like most products, the more you spend the more quality you will get.
Also make sure the manufacturer is able to offer a warranty. Whichever golf cart enclosure you choose, it should fit well over your cart. If it’s too tight it could tear, and if it is too loose, it will lift up in the wind and rain.
