Golf Carts

There are caravans of golf carts going for numerous miles each day on golf courses around the country. As they carry golfers to the next hole, pro shop, or the clubhouse for some grub, they may run for miles and miles but they need special attention too. Golf carts are an integral part of operations at many golf courses. This is especially true on large golf courses or those that make their way through rugged terrains.

This is why golf card small engines need to be re-powered. In today’s world most golfers would find walking a course while toting the weight of a golf bag cumbersome and unappealing. Walking wouldn’t even be plausible at some golf courses. Most golfers would instead prefer to have a golf cart do the hard work of navigating over rugged terrain and up steep, mountainous elevations for them. Golf carts are the golf course carryall from drinks to umbrellas the golf cart can take it all.

A golf course wishes to allocate money each year towards either the purchasing of new golf carts, or the repairing, repowering of golf carts already in inventory. A brand new golf cart may run longer before any problems prop up compared to a golf cart that has been refurbished. But keep in mind that with the demands placed upon the average golf cart, even “new” ones will eventually need some repairs to keep them running smoothly. It might be wiser 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 rigorous daily workouts what with carrying various golfers and equipment to and from the fairways. These demands can be especially rough on the small engines of golf carts. But because golf carts are so important to the smooth operations of most golf courses: it’s 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.

Okay, certainly we can agree that keeping as many golf carts as possible motoring is essential to happy golfers and for the golf courses bottom financial line. But is it better to repair golf carts? Or is it a wiser investment to continually purchase “new” golf carts to meet ever-growing numbers of golfers?

You can reduce the costs of golf cart repairs by opting to “repower” 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 you need to keep your golf carts running. The manufacturers of these small engines 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. These engines also use a variety of sources such as gasoline, diesel, and electricity from batteries for their power: making them quite adaptable to the course-specific needs of every golf course.

Briggs Stratton is the largest manufacturer of air-cooled gas-powered engines. A Briggs Stratton small engine is durable even under the harshest of conditions and doesn’t require a lot of maintenance to stay in peak running condition.
