Getting Into The Swing Of Golf Cart Rental

By Matthew McDonald


Athletic completion can divide people. It puts people into teams and then pits those two teams into a simulated conflict against each other. But watching athletic competition brings people together, because millionaires playing games is fun. A lot of people will try their hands at sports for various reasons. Many admire the skill and agility gained in basketball. Many try American football because they just loathe not having a concussion so much. But even those who do not have athletic ability need a sport and that sport is bowling. For people who can substitute athleticism with money, there is golf. For those that do, there is golf cart rental Tybee.

Golf is a pastime where a player swings a stick at a ball and hopes it goes into a hole some distance away. Wherever the ball lands, the player follows and swing their stick again to get the ball into the hole. So on and so forth until a set number of holes, usually about 18, has been played. Scores are tabulated by how many strokes it takes to get to the last one. The person with the lowest score wins.

Now, the sport does have a certain socioeconomic reputation in society. It takes a lot of leisure time needed to play a whole game, and a lower income person working multiple jobs is not going to have the time to spare. The courses themselves can be prohibitive, as several of the most well known courses are privately owned membership clubs and club dues can be expensive. The equipment also comes at great financial cost. The iron clubs can cost thousand. Vintage, wooden clubs can cost tens of thousands. This not factor in the cost of renting a vehicle or tipping a caddy.

Because the game is so often played by the wealthy, business dealing are often negotiated on a course while carting in between holes. It is often said that any prospective executive must have some level of skill in order to keep making deals. It is essentially the most capitalist sport ever conceived.

Golf courses are invariably large. They have to be in order to accommodate the distances between the holes. They will also all be composed primarily of green grass and have some obstacles to present challenges to players, like water features and sand traps.

The golf cart is used to ferry players from the clubhouse to the teeing off grounds and then around the course proper. Not using one can lead to a significant amount of walking, with some courses totaling about five miles in total distance traveled just to play a game if a vehicle is not used. Once the game is done, the cart can be used to return to the clubhouse.

But country clubs are far from the only place that uses such vehicles. Private security personnel often use similar vehicles to get around quickly, especially in large area such as college campuses, certain government facilities, and airports.

Renting a vehicle is an easy task. Many clubs offer them up for rent and even require the use of them. Getting a private one requires going to a dealer.

The game is exclusive, no doubt about that. But the vehicles used therein are not. They can be obtained and operated by basically anyone.
