Using Golf Cart Accessories to Personalize your Golf Cart

Before you go shopping for golf cart accessories, it is important to know exactly what you will use the cart for. Primarily we see golf carts on a golf course, but they have many more uses.

Beachfront and retirement communities use them to transport residents. Businesses and farms use them as utility carts to haul heavy loads. Large sports complexes and concert halls use them to assist patrons and to set up for large events. People with huge yards even use them to move from one part of their property to another.

So, choosing golf cart accessories must begin with deciding if you will simply be hauling extra passengers, if you will have to deal with inclement weather, if you will have to sit on the cart for long periods of time or if you are using the cart a lot to off-road.

Some basic golf cart accessories include: a beverage tray to keep snacks and drinks, a drink cooler, an electric heater to keep warm while you wait, rear view mirrors, brake lights and turn signals for traffic safety and CD players and speakers.

If the cart is used primarily for playing golf, it is convenient to have a ball-washer to keep your golf balls clean.

Larger golf cart accessories include: roofs and Velcro enclosures to protect you during inclement weather, roof racks for extra storage, cargo beds and trailers for more extensive hauling, snow blade attachments, a lift kit and knobby tires to give the cart elevation for off-road traveling, and a winch upgrade for a more powerful engine.

To protect against the dangers of getting hit with golf balls, there are even fully covered steel cages. One-color, two-color and black graphics are available as accessories to change the entire look of the golf cart or to promote a business.

Of course, the significance of being able to add golf cart accessories is that you get to make your golf cart stand out from any other golf cart. Additionally, if it is not used for golf, you may want to add your personal flair so that it does not look like it belongs on a golf course. To get start, just make sure you have the make and model of your golf cart and start shopping for your accessories.
