Default Wanna be a Golf Cart Stunt Pilot ???

The Flying Golf Cart Stunt Pilot Team is looking for golf cart drivers.

The Stunt Pilots perform choreographed, visually exciting, street performances throughout the Villages, in parades both in and outside of the Villages as well as competitions (the Team has won two first place trophies).

Gas and electric carts / female and male drivers are all welcomed. There is a weekly practice session on Tuesday mornings. Our practice/performance season runs from September through early December and Mid-January through May.

PM me if you’re interested in joining.

You'd likely need a doctor's prescription for that.

Usually I just see a lot of golf cart stunt pilots doing solo routines. Some are really wild. And, not just on Tuesday morning, either.

Have never seen you perform. Do you ever perform here in The Villages or close by?

Can it be a 4 passenger? Does it need to be modified for over 20 mph?

Yes the Team is village based and does most of their performances in TV.

Folks who are hosting block parties, village parties, large birthday celebrations, special events or other events end up contacting us to be the entertainment. The Team does not charge a fee to perform.

We also do parades and competitions that are held outside TV.

The only way to see our magic is by being a participant in the event - or, you can follow the Flying Golf Cart Stunt Pilots on Facebook to see when/where we are performing.

As a side note - if anyone reading this is a neighborhood coordinator or participant on a social committee and you're looking for a 20-25 minute long exciting/unique entertainment facet to accompany your event - PM me.

If you mean 4 passenger defined as 2 facing forward and 2 facing backward - yes, we can accommodate that size cart.

No, not at all. Our stunts are choreographed to where we come within inches of our Team members - moving at a face pace - but no where near 20mph.

Good question, I was wondering how many golf cart they jump over.
