Pimped Out Golf Cart
|
Electric golf cars have been used since at least 1951. Merle Williams of Long Beach, California was an early innovator of the electric golf car. He started with knowledge gained from production of electric cars due to World War II gasoline rationing. In 1951 his Marketeer Company began production of an electric golf car in Redlands, California. Cushman began production in 1955, Club Car in 1958, Taylor-Dunn in 1961, Harley-Davidson in 1963 and CT&T in 2002.
Peachtree City, Georgia has many miles of golf cart paths that link the city together. Golf cart travel is used by a great majority of the community, especially among high school students. McIntosh High School even has a student golf cart parking lot on campus.
On islands (such as Santa Catalina Island, California, Bald Head Island, North Carolina, and Hamilton Island), motor vehicles are sometimes restricted and residents use golf carts instead.
