I guess you don't have to worry about departure angles with one of these.

Is that a Land Rover oval on the side? That's pretty cool!

damn. must be a bitch of a golf course if you need that to fetch your ball. i use to have a cushman and an ez golf cart as a youngster and did my share of mods on them, but this just kicks ass. the thing even has a spare on the back. rodney would have loved that in caddyshack.

the only mod you need on the cushman is aborting the speed limiter and jacking up the throttle :)

i worked on golf courses for years during summer breaks in high school & college...proud founding father of "The Summer Slugs" in the Cleveland Metroparks...

same here blue. i use to live on and work at Westborough CC in St. Louis for years. had an amazing arsenal of toys. golf carts and go carts. those paved cart trails were my very own race track as a youngster. not sure how many clutchs i blew on suicide hill, but that is where it all began for me. the cushman was a beast.......took the slicks off and put on some nice turf tires with some nice hella 500's up front along with the steel brushgard. i was serious about that stuff. we even had our own Westborough 500 golf cart race. we managed to flip a few on there sides over the years.
those were some fun years. then the CC planted rows of shrubs along the edge of the 15th hole bodering my parents house to try and keep me front driving on the course. (when i was not working there) we moved to PA around then anyhow.

soupin up the cushman...LOL

At Big Met golf course in the metroparks we got a brand spankin new cushman back in like 1988 and I promptly got it stuck whilst off-roading in the creek. Needed a one-ton chevy 4X4 to recover it. The boss slowly explained to me how many summers I'd have to work to afford a new cushman. The hardest part was keeping from laughing while getting reprimanded...then he sent me off to walk the 18 for the week with a weedwacker & 5 gallon gas can. Ahhh...those were the days - stoned in the morning, drunk in the afternoon (reminds me of a Charlie Daniels song), then go out and party with friends from the course until bars closed at 2:30am, then swing by the course to hide a cooler with the leftover beer on the back 9, sleep for 2 hours, and do it all over again.

p.s. mere shrubs couldn't stop a cushman with a determined driver :)

yeah those things were pricey. but i found a place near Times Beach, MO (where cancer causing dioxins were found and the town vanished) that sold older ez go's, yamaha gas, cushmans, club cars and so on. got my red ez go for $500 back in '82 and my cushman....i have no idea what i spent on that. taking them out in the winters down hills was great. the cushmans could fly though. they were certainly the powerhouse of the clubhouse. still remember the smell of the 'shed' where the 2 cushmans were kept at the CC. the cushman was bought from an old man about 6 miles away and instead of having it hauled on a flatbed my dad decided to drive it home. that was one of the funniest things he has done.
yep......could not kill a cushman. not sure how many ez go's i pulled out with my mean green cushman, but they should really consider seat belts on those things.

Blue,

You too? I used to work at Rio Hondo Country Club in high school when I was a golf nut. The other employees and I occasionally played demolition derby with the carts until one of us (not me) accidentally drove onto a green. Never needed a winch on the golf carts I was driving.

Yep, me too. I knew there was something wrong with you, John...(and of course, we all know there's something wrong with Garrett). What do all the greens bosses expect when they get a bunch of kids together, pay them minimum wage, and hand over the keys to cushmans, carts, heavy machinery, etc? Minimum wage buys minimum work, I always say...:)

When I packed up the jeep and moved out here in '96 I went to work for Paradise Valley CC. Me and 30 non-english speakers. Great way to brush up on the spanish. I was a "serious" employee there, though...just rode the fairway mowers back & forth with a slight buzz, staring alternatively at Camelback Mtn. & Squaw Peak with my binocs tracing climbing routes up the cracks into my fieldbook...

i'm actually pretty normal. it's that rob d. that scares me. the quiet type at first then they get drunk and start killing at random.
next time rob is up here in my town and you don't hear from me on dweb.......some start digging around in his back yard or fireplace. :)

working at that CC was traumatic for me. i started helping the older guys out when i was like 12. wasn't working there, but just wanted to hang out with the older guys and drive the carts around. they were a really fucked up bunch of people. did some crazy shit that with those cushmans. no wonder i wrecked so many cars in high school.

wait a minute, if Rob D scares you, then maybe you are actually pretty normal :)

i actually think you said it afterwards here on the site. but i could see it in your eyes. you were walking around that bar (the Big Easy) with crazed looked in your eye.....looking for the perfect co-ed victim. not sure what happened to you later that night, but i can only imagine. lucky me i guess.
see i am normal. i only like putting kittens in jars and watching them grow. kinda like a terrarium kitten!!!!

Never raced golf carts, but we did race the fork lifts around the local Coca Cola bottling plant I worked at during summers off from College.. That practice was outlawed by management when one forklift lost its brakes on the loading dock part of the course, went over the edge and buried the forks right into the ground. There were no injuries, but they needed one of the biggest cranes in the area to pull the sucker out of the ground. Ahh, the good old days....
