The Benefits of Using a Golf Cart
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 most obvious advantage of using a cart is that you won't have to walk. Courses can be very large, and walkers who have to carry their golf bags will soon become tired, even if they're in good shape. A golf cart prevents this. In addition, you can carry more with you if you choose to 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.
However, if you don't often use a cart, you may have trouble remembering when to move it, or realizing how to drive it effectively. That could send you running back and forth and cause you to get in other golfers' way, making the cart more trouble than it's worth.
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.
Come to agreement with your partner about who will move the cart. This will prevent you from leaving it behind and having to walk back to get it. Be considerate, and return to the cart path once you approach the green. Remember to bring the clubs you need with you, and make sure to bring your partner's club if necessary. Remind your partner if you notice that facilities are nearby and you need to take a rest stop.
Decide ahead of time where you are going to put the cart, and park it where it can provide shade if there is no other source available. If you are driving and your partner's ball is next up, pull up along the right side of the ball. Make sure the ball is located midway down the length of the cart so that your partner will have less distance to walk.
You should never drive the cart while other golfers are hitting, and most importantly, don't move in front of them. When you park near the green, place the cart on the side where you'll be exiting the green. If the ball is on a steep hill, park as close as you safely can, but avoid driving on the hill; this can be hazardous.
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. - 21392
