In 1951 his Marketeer Company began production of an electric golf car in Redlands, California. Two additional companies began production of electric golf carts in 1954: LEKTRO and E-Z-GO. Cushman began production in 1955, Club Car in 1958, Taylor-Dunn in 1961, and Harley-Davidson in 1963.
Thanks for the information. 784caroline. Wonder if some golf pros have really fancy carts that you see when they are on tour. Taking one of those everywhere they tour would get expensive? Someone like Tiger Woods could afford it, but the less successful golf pros?
