Putter holder that attaches to you sunbrella. That ball gripper on the end of your putter will last longer since your not stuffing it back into your golf bag all the time.

For the phone, you can buy a phone mount that fits in a cup holder for about $20.

Those are nice. I need to order one or two.

I found a cell phone holder that attaches to the steering wheel using the scorecard clip. It will tilt up so you can still get to your card to keep score...

A company called caddie buddy also makes a nice phone holder that clips to the score card holder on the steering wheel.

I use the ram quick grip with a double socket arm hanging from the aluminum plate that mounts the front shelf…

[Whatnext]

Neanderthal here.

I still like paper maps.:ohdear:

I use one of these and find it to be OK, but not great. It rattles around quite a bit and it’s a little awkward getting the card in and out.

[Radamo]

Not a fan of the steering wheel mounts. Using GPS when driving the phone goes in circles when making turns. Not helpful.

[jacRI]

I bought on Amazon a phone holder for a bicycle handlebar that I mounted on the crossbar near my rearview mirror.

Tint across the top 6-7" of the window. Don't know why more people haven't installed it.

Steering wheel mount for your phone is much better than the others.

I like this idea as the morning sun is brutal. Did you apply this yourself or have someone do it? If someone else, who did you use?

A large bag you can secure with golf bag straps to be used when going grocery shopping to hold your purchased items safely while in route back to your home.

Do you use the standard of the long one? By the way, love your username. I have very close friends who are from one of the two original families from Moloka'i. Now all on the west side of Maui.

I bought a roll (from Lowe's I think) and installed myself several years ago, works great, I still have film left over if you are interested. Very easy to install.

[hav7979]

I will add a new gadget. Tire pressure chages with the weather in a golf cart. I added this to both my carts

I also added backup cameras for my wife!!!!

I have one that fits in one of the cup holders.

[hav7979]

If you get one for the cup holder. Get one that still allows you to use the cup holder

Seatbelts, if it didn’t come with them.

HA! Found that one, yesterday! Looked like what I was envisioning and ordered it via Amazon. Delivery, albeit by USPS, soon!

[WiscoDogsDad]

I upgraded to as many safety related features as were offered!!!!!

How did you install the cameras, on your wife?

[WiscoDogsDad]

Tint across the top 6-7" of the window. Don't know why more people haven't installed it.
Please elaborate on the installation...was it DIY or is "there a guy" for this?

Would be a wast of money for me, windshield is almost always folded down, especially if it’s sunny. Money would be better spent on a good pair of sunglasses.

USB ports, auto cancel blinkers, Bluetooth speakers

[jimjamuser]

I like smaller diameter wheels and tires to LOWER the center of gravity, which increases acceleration and turning power. And I like an aftermarket muffler, which makes it run quieter.

[villagetinker]

In post #21 I mentioned I did a DIY, but I would be glad to help you, I still have film, and you can can see my cart before I do any work. Send a PM so we can discuss over the phone.

[UpNorth]

Gun rack. Keeps others from passing you. ;)

[dcianciolo]

I installed it myself. It is advisable to use tint materials specifically for plexiglass. You will find it online.

[ElDiabloJoe]

Here's a more direct link to the guy on Etsy that makes the awesome "birdie shot" cup holders for your golf cart. I ordered mine in multi-colors to match a favorite sports team. I like that they can be screwed in, zip-tied, or command-strip velcro'd anywhere I want to put it.

[JMintzer]

A company called caddie buddy also makes a nice phone holder that clips to the score card holder on the steering wheel.

I found mine on Temu, for about $8 each. I bought a half dozen and gave them out to my friends.

The ones on Amazon (or Caddy Buddy) are closer to $30 each.

[JMintzer]

Not a fan of the steering wheel mounts. Using GPS when driving the phone goes in circles when making turns. Not helpful.

You can lock your screen so it doesn't do that.

Or... Just wait the 5-10 seconds it takes to make a turn and it goes back to normal.

Personally, I don't like the cup holder phone holders. They constantly come loose and take up space I use for other things...

That's a generous offer, Tinker! I'll reach back, after I've run around in the new cart for awhile, if it seems like a solution I'd like to pursue!

Rhetorical question:

Didn't the above-quoted contributor say in the linked thread below that he does not own a golf cart and once rode in a friend's cart several years ago? One might suspect one of passing off one's preferences onto others in the guise of giving them good advice when one is actually just trying to get them to satisfy one's pet-peeves. But of course, I can't imagine someone doing something like that. I would be utterly shocked to find that happening here. Yeah, I'm sure that's not what is happening, I hold people in too high regard and esteem to think that.

This can come in handy, I can recall towing at least 6 dead electric carts over the years.

Also great to pull your gas cart up onto a flatbed when the clutch belt goes.

I have a drill winch that I use for such or similar issues. Handy as Heck!!

[tophcfa]

Always keep a spare clutch belt stored with the toe rope and binoculars. Never needed the clutch belt, but it’s there just in case. Use the binoculars frequently for bird identification.
