My little man kept asking for a golf cart. And well you don’t live on a course and not have one. Sort of like you don’t live on the water and not have a boat. Had them spool the motor to 6k rpm so we have a top speed of 32mph. Having fun with this one.

Golf cart is awesome, go to the playground, friends' homes in the community, club house, tennis courts and swimming pool without having to pull out the car. Quick and easy, I have to say I'm a huge fan of the country club life. If I gave up my water view it had to be for something special.

I think Washington has 3 privately gated GCs? Just happen to buy a home in one of them. No regrets

I would imagine it's one of the more fun ways to learn how to drive a vehicle!....

I’m sure when they are 13 I’ll be coming home and the cart will be missing
