Taking A Swing At Golf Cart Rental

By Matthew McDonald


Most people have some sort of hobby, some way to unwind. Some like to knit. Other people paint. Some people take up sports. There are many kinds of sports to choose from, from basketball to martial arts to swimming, when it comes to keeping active, a person is spoiled for choice. Of course there are people who want be active without exerting themselves too much. Those people turn to bowling. For the exact same kind of person but with money, there is golf. Now, in golf, most people have to go from hole to hole over a large course. To navigate that course, there exist the option of 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.

Now, adding to this belief is that the game is favored by business tycoons. Deals are often negotiated on the course, sometimes hinging on who wins a game. It can be seen as the purest form of capitalism in that regard.

The sport is played on golf courses. The courses are vast seas of green grass, allowing for considerable distance between the holes. There are many obstacles on the grounds, like water features that may or may not contain alligators depending on the state and sand traps that make hard to tee off on a ball.

The cart is there to get players from the clubhouse to the teeing grounds. The vehicle is also there to carry the players from hole to hole. Because of the sheer size of a course, anyone not using a cart can easily rack up ten thousand steps just from a single game, not including the steps it will take to get back to a club house.

But the carts are not limited to the green. The carts can be used on the street, not a highway, but a residential street. They can also be driven by security personnel around large facilities like airports or private neighborhoods.

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 somewhat exclusive. Starting up can seem prohibitive. But while the activity itself is exclusive, at least the carts are not.
