Thanks all, for your responses. Consensus appears to be that 5-10% of the golf carts in TV are souped up (super customized).
I would loved to have seen the 4,000+ golf carts in the TV event last year during the Guiness (sp?) record-setting longest parade of golf carts. I remember reading here that one woman -- who didn't own a golf cart -- rented one so she could be part of the fun event. Talk about spirit!
In essence, that's what TV is all about -- spirit. That's what made viewing the CBS special on May 22, 2011 so fun to watch and....re-watch.
