All good information. I would add that carts leased by high end private courses generally tend to be treated relatively well. Carts leased by public courses that have large tournaments and men’s night leagues (which are basically drinking nights) can really get the crap beat out of them.

I agree with that, Ive purchased carts from a private course before and your right way better but I would buy direct from the manufacturer when they came off lease so i had the option to not buy the junk.

But we also know rebuilders look at cost factor and will buy the junk to save money and sometimes they dont have the option, they get what they can.
