Default Golf cart poll

In your golfing life, how many times had your golf cart straps come lose and your clubs fall off? I'm not talking about your "friends" playing a joke, actually just come lose and fall off while driving?

I will go first, 30 years of golfing and it never happened until yesterday and it happened three times!

several times on our golf cart, the strap lock / strap combination is slippery and not as tight as a the course carts. So we use some short bungee cords to keep the bags from falling out. .

I have a security cable and lock around my bag so never.

I bring the cable even if I play outside TV.

Once. It was after we retired and moved "north" (south Fl natives) to this part of Florida. Never lost clubs from loose strap on golf cart until after moving here, left old cart and bought new one when we came.... then it happened in the tunnel under 466 ! There was sufficient noise to let me know immediately what happened. Felt terrible for the cart BEHIND me in the tunnel ! Apologized profusely, but carts behind were able to stop (great lesson for NOT following too close !) and clubs did not have any damage other than scratched putter since I had not bothered to put the head cover on that club !

Once on our 2019 Yamaha. Wife's clubs fell off going through Brownwood. Scratched two clubs without covers. Plus, blocked traffic for a couple minutes. No Fireball was involved. Now I use a plastic carpenter's hand clamp on the end of the strap just behind the regular clamp as a backup. A couple friends had trouble and made a Velcro strap to hold the clamp lever closed. They were able to attach the Velcro to the frame with a rivet.

Mother never lost them off golf cart as far as I know. She would have used the strap to bind them.

No one else in the Villages Taltarzac725 family golfs.

Maybe the pull cart is to cheap. Maybe find a lot more expensive pull cart. I’ve had the same pull cart for maybe 18 yrs. & never had an issue with it, maybe they use to make pull carts better than now. Who knows!
