Default Visited Club Car

On the visit, the first thing out of their mouths was, whoever refers to these as a golf cart will buy everyone else a round of drinks for every time they say it.

These are golf cars, they are not pushed or pulled. The slang, golf cart is used Because the general public responds better to slang terms. You see it in all advertising.

So, Belly up to the bar, Brian buys the first round.

The only mainstream USA golf cart manufacturers that produce "golf carts" for personal use, are ClubCar, Yamaha & Star EV. Unless something has changed over the last few years, even ClubCar ships as a basic "GOLF cart", without the necessary options to make it viable for personal use. Yamaha has essentially been out of the "golf" business for years. I haven't seen a Yamaha golf cart at a golf course, in 10+ years. There may be some public courses around that still have them, but golf courses aren't buying them. I was told a few years ago by a reliable source, that 70+% of Yamaha gas powered golf carts were sold in The Villages.
