Transport around the course

[Bermuda]

I have had a few operations on my right foot from a motorcycle accident which means walking more than 9 is not possible, I want to buy something that is not a converted mobility scooter and thought I had found it in the Golf Board but it is £6.5k, any other suggestions would be most welcome

My mate did a mobobilty scooter conversion himself, it looks funny but he did all 18 on it yesterday. Cost him about 350

I saw a guy a few weeks back with a motorised scooter that you stick your clubs on the front. I don't know who makes it or how much it costs but it was amazing. We all wanted one. Similar sort of thing to this but it had just two bigger wheels rather than four smaller ones.

First you must think about storage.
Does your club have storage and charging facilities for it.?
If not you need a trailer and tow bar.
I have used the three wheel ones and they are great.
But a four wheeled one is more stable
Ask the lads at your club ,can you have a go of theirs ( if there are any)
the G3 rider is brilliant three wheels
The Bug-ease is a great four wheeled option.

The are 3 guys at the Kings who jokingly get called the hells Angels, all have diff type of veh, one looks like just a chair with wheels and a bar to steer, one looks like a mobility scooter.... but the 3rd is quite impressive, 3 wheeled motorbike, with the 2 wheels and the clubs on the front, cost him 2K i thing he said, he also has a pick up truck and it goes on the back

I wonder if they could be road legal so you could drive to the course on it .
No need for a trailer.
Depends on range of course. There ,18 holes then home again.
Have seen people on the roads in the US but never here.

the mobility scooter type must already be, you see plenty trundling along the roads up here. the 3 wheeler i suppose could no different to a Quad Bike really, just a prov and insurance

I saw a fella on one of those at Dunstanbrough a couple of years ago, it was a proper wtf moment ?

We were walking through the woods opposite Bearwood Lakes one day in the summer, and I guy came through on a Segway with a bag on the front In the direction of the course
@PNWokingham - is he one of yours?

There are these

and

Never fancied having the clubs in front of me I sometimes get thrown forward after going down a rabbit hole or hitting something in the long grass and a driver in the eye would compound my problems.

At one time there was the I motion 3 wheeler which looked more like a motorbike.

Golf boards are great. Tried one out for a round at the Grove a few years back, best fun on a golf course ever. But, as you have already found out, stupidly expensive.

These babies are about half the price and look like a lot more fun, certainly on my list if I ever come into some money.

Those are a pretty decent price. Not quite as "sic" as the phat scooter, think the phat scooter has a better set of fixings for the bag and cooler box etc. but the e-caddy is significantly cheaper, and sold in the UK so easier to get maintained.

What about hiring a buggy from your course? Saves a whole lot of expense and hassle/ faff?

That very depends on how much you are going to need one. I have needed a buggy since my mid 40s and have probably saved a fortune compared to hiring.

there used to be a couple of guys with Segways but not seen them for a few years

I know the OP has a medical condition with his damaged foot but he needs to bear in mind its coming to winter time and courses often put a ban on buggies when it gets really wet. Need to bear that in mind and seeing if the club will still allow any sort of vehicle on the course
