Pro 1: Won’t Get Stranded
Gasoline is easily transportable, so as long as you have a gas can on your cart (which you always should) you’ll never be stuck without gas. For farmers or anyone who wants to have their cart to travel far distances on acres of land, gas is the only way to go. While electric cars are indeed more environmentally friendly, for long distances they’re simply not sensible.

Con 1: Hazards
There’s always the chance of a gas explosion during a collision in a golf cart. While collisions aren’t extremely common in this type of vehicle, if you’re buying the cart for off-course driving, you may want to look into the safety features.

Pro 2: Price
Gas Golf carts are often less expensive than electric golf carts. However, do not forget that you’ll still need to fill your golf cart with gasoline regularly, which we all know is not as cheap as it used to be.

Con 2: Pollution
A lot of people think because golf carts are so small and less fast, they don’t pollute like cars do. They do, however, contribute to pollution and you aren’t really doing the planet a favor by purchasing one.

Pro 3: Durability
Gas powered golf carts tend to last much longer than electric carts. They may not come in as many colors and varieties, but they are made of more durable materials and have longer-lasting engines and easily affordable parts. They also tend to handle hills and rough terrain more easily.

Con 3: Noise
Gas Golf Carts are, indeed, loud. The motors made for them make a noisy rumbling sound when they’re running, and they may even be a bit "bouncy" while idling. Carts may also get a bit messy when they drip gas or oil, so it’s recommended you keep a tarp underneath them in the garage.

I’ve been looking for a car lately to get to school that is only a few miles from my house. So i was thinking that a Golf Cart would be a quick and easy fix, but im not sure if there street legal.

no they are not street legal. They lack turn signals and other things that a car needs to have in order to be on the streets, they are totally open and have no doors so it’s not safe or legal to drive one on the public streets.

Tournament officials at the State Farm Classic disqualified Michelle Wie recently for failing to sign her scorecard. This wasn’t Wie’s first disqualification from an LPGA tournament. Tournament officials also disqualified her for taking a bad drop at the Samsung World Championship in 2005—her first event as a professional. Her drop landed the ball 12 to 15 inches closer to the hole. Neither of Wie’s violations was intentional. But they did violate the rules.

Some rules of golf may seem pretty harsh to the average weekend player. But they’re well thought out. They prevent players from gaining an unfair advantage on another golfer. Other “rules” of golf that players should follow are more courtesy than anything else. Golf’s rules of etiquette aren’t always covered in golf lessons and golf tips, but they make the game more enjoyable and should be adhered to as well. Below are some of the more common ones that all players should follow regardless of their golf handicaps.

Play Ready Golf
In tournament play the player whose ball is farthest from the hole generally plays first, followed by the player whose ball is second farthest from the hole, and so on, until everyone has holed out. In causal play, play ready golf instead. That means hit when ready, even if you aren’t away, until you reach the green. That speeds up play. Also, be prepared to hit when it’s your turn on the tee. And don’t spend more than 5 minutes looking for a ball. The idea is get around the course as quickly as possible without hurrying. Evaluate your play honestly and often. If you’re slow, speed up.

Repair Divots
This should really read, “Repair the ground you play on.” Many weekend golfers fail to repair the course out of laziness. Others simply don’t care. But making repairs only takes a minute or two and it helps keep the course in good shape. Carry a penknife or a divot tool to repair ball marks on the green. Replace divots when you can or use the seed mix packed on the side of your cart. And rake bunkers after hitting from them. Make the bunker as smooth as you can and don’t leave furrows after raking. Ask yourself if you would want to play from the bunker. If not, then go back to work.

Be Respectful On The Green
There’s nothing worse than someone talking or making a loud noise in the middle of your putt. Stand quiet and still from the moment a player sets herself until the ball has left the club. Then you can do all the talking and moving you want. If a player is putting, don’t stand in his field of vision practicing your swing. Never, and I mean never, walk in someone’s line of play on the green, even if you are wearing spikeless shoes. And never stand in a player’s line of play either behind the player or beyond the hole. Note where every ball is on the green, and then stay clear of everybody’s line.

Turn Off Cell Phones
Many people carry cell phones on a course for good reasons. But if you have to carry a cell phone, turn it off when playing. No one wants to hear one ring in the middle of one’s backswing, especially on the tee or the green. If you’re waiting for an important call, you can always check the phone between shots. If you have to return a call, keep your voice down and step off to one side. Also, make the conversation as brief as possible.

Observe Cart Etiquette
Carts are an integral part of today’s game. But they can damage a course. So observe good “cart etiquette” when playing. Ideally, your goal is to leave no trace of having driven a cart over the course. Avoid wet areas, areas under repair, and areas that have been beaten up. Follow the directional signs club’s put out and the pathways lining the course. Instead of following each other single file before branching off, scatter—everyone taking a different course—so cart traffic is spread out. Scattering minimizes the damage done to courses by carts.

Other rules of etiquette include laying the flagstick down carefully, tamping down spike marks when walking off a green, and letting faster groups play through. Also, always check the green before leaving to make sure you or another player hasn’t left a club behind that might interfere with another player’s shot.

These are just a few of the game’s rules of etiquette. Many aren’t covered in golf instruction sessions. But you can learn them by staying alert and noticing what others do. The idea is to make the game as enjoyable as possible. Following the rules of etiquette is something every golfer can and should do, regardless of his or her golf handicap. It’s just common courtesy.

Finding Arizona golf carts really isn’t hard today. In fact, all you really have to do is go to Craigslist, eBay, or look in your local classifieds, and you will find many for sale in the state.

Carts are no longer just used on the golf course-nowadays they are used by businesses and individuals alike, for all kinds of things.

The typical golf cart is able to hold between two and four people, is 6 feet high, and eight feet long. Therefore, they are very mobile, can fit into tall spaces, and are still quick enough to get around the area you need to cover much quicker than walking.

In fact, most Arizona golf carts that will not be used for the golf course are much faster than the carts you are used to riding in on the course, because most of the carts on the course are electronically limited so that they can’t go above a certain speed.

You can either have this removed when buying a golf cart for other purposes, or simply buy one without it altogether, and when you do so, you might be surprised how fast Golf Carts can really move.

Of course, this doesn’t answer the most important question-how do you find the best Arizona golf cart? After all, there are many for sale, and you want to find the best deal possible, right?

It used to be a difficult choice as to which kind of cart to get-gas or electric. Nowadays, however, that choice is very easy, since electric have many advantages over gas. They are much easier on the environment, always a plus.

They also help you save money on gas, without the typical drawbacks associated with electric golf carts. Most people still think you need to recharge them every time out, and that will take a long time to do so.

The reality is that there are many long lasting batteries you can buy that will dramatically increase the life of your Arizona golf cart, and so you don’t have to worry about constantly recharging it.

Where can you find the best golf carts Arizona has? Doing searches on eBay and Amazon is a smart way to start, as you can do location specific searches on these sites, and you can generally find some low priced deals here, much more so than if you were to go to a dealership.

Of course, a general internet search will bring up sites devoted solely to golf carts, which will give you more options to choose from. Also check your local papers and see what’s available. Finally, don’t forget to go down to the course and see what’s available, as courses get rid of their old carts and get a fleet of new ones from time to time, and if you’re timing is right, you can find some real bargains.

Since they are selling so many carts at once, and just want to get rid of them to make way for the new fleet, they will accept cheaper prices than you’d find online or anywhere else, so definitely take advantage of this. Regardless of where you look for Arizona golf carts, remember that electric is the way to go.

I am getting married and it is going to be a pretty big event. The venue is going to be a clearing out on some property in the woods. It would be nice to have a golf cart to transport older folks from the parking area to the ceremony and reception. Basically my question is: 1. Would a golf course rent you a golf cart for a day if it isnt going to be used on their course? 2. How much do you think this would cost?

no a golf course is not likely to be willing to rent you a golf cart, however, Golf Carts are readily available in most cities and towns for rent through rental equipment companies or even through companies which sell golf carts. many people use them for event transportation so you should be able to do a little google searching in your area to find a place where you can rent them. they are available in both electric and gas opertated one. the electric ones will run all day long if they have been fully charged so you don’t have to worry about fuel costs or smells.

as for the cost, that depends on where you live and what type of cart you rent, but here in virginia where i live, the run about 85 dollars per day.
