subject: Golf Carts-a Brief Intro [print this page] Golf carts carry golfers to the next hole, pro shop, or the clubhouse for some grub, and run for miles and miles. They form an integral part of operations at many golf courses, particularly on large golf courses or rugged terrains.
Therefore, golf cart small engines need to be re-powered. Most golfers would find walking a course while toting the weighty golf bag unpleasant. Walking wouldn't even be possible at some golf courses. Most golfers would instead prefer to have a golf cart to do the hard work of navigating over rugged terrain and up steep, mountainous elevations for them.
A golf course wishes to allocate money each year towards either the purchasing of new golf carts, or the repairing, re-powering of golf carts already in inventory. A brand new golf cart may run longer compared to a refurbished golf cart. However, even "new" ones will need some repairs to keep them running smoothly. Try to implement a plan wherein "new" golf carts are added to your 'pool' of golf carts when possible and "older" carts repaired until their repair costs start to "outweigh" the amount of time the carts are available for use on the fairways.
Golf carts are subjected to severe daily workouts with carrying various golfers and equipment to and from the fairways. As golf carts are so important to the smooth operations of most golf courses, it is important to have as many as possible running and available to golfers each day. The last thing you want is to lose golfers and the revenue they generate because your pool of golf carts has more carts in the garage than on the greens.
You can reduce the cost of repairs by opting to "re-power" your golf carts with small engines such as those manufactured by Briggs Stratton, Cushman, Kohler, and Honda, who have the small engines with the power required to keep your golf carts running. These manufacturers have designed them to withstand heavy workloads, even the workload placed upon the average golf cart. These small engines come in a wide assortment of sizes, available horsepower, and different transmission set-ups, to meet all of your power needs. They also utilize a range of sources such as gasoline, diesel, and electricity from batteries for their power: making them quite adaptable to the course-particular requirements of each golf course.
