Yes, I live on a golf course. No, I don't play golf anymore. Problems with my back persist and I am unable to play at this time. However, that does not preclude me from owning a golf cart. I have had a battery powered golf cart since right after we moved here. As my back got worse, we used to golf cart less for golf and more for neighborhood rides. When our grandson comes to visit he loves to go for a golf cart ride with me. Happy to oblige my little buddy.
Well, recently the cart has been having an issue holding a charge. We knew that the possibility existed that we were going to have to spend $800 on four new batteries. We also wanted to add a back seat so we could take family and friends on a ride with us. I was driving the cart in the neighborhood when one of the batteries developed a short. It literally blew the caps off the battery. It sounded like a gun going off, under the seat. I towed the cart back to the house and parked it in the garage. A neighbor just traded his battery powered cart in for a gas powered cart. He had already replaced four sets of batteries over the years. ( Remember the $800 per set to replace). I talked to him and we decided to go visit the same dealer to see what a gas powered golf cart was going to cost us. They had a 2015 E-Z-GO Bad Boy Buggy that was leftover in inventory. With a trade-in for my cart I was able to get this $8,000 cart, plus tax, for less than $5,500. It carries a 3-year warranty on the Kawasaki engine and a lifetime warranty on the frame. This is the cart below. I will be adding some UT Vols stickers at some point in time.
