As always, time and again one of the biggest complaints about the game of golf is the pace of play. People are always looking for a way to speed the game up…and quite frankly, many players out on the course could certainly use a kick in the pants. So whenever a new idea or innovation to speed up the game comes along, attention should be paid. Even if it’s just a publicity stunt. Enter Plum Quick Motors.
Already the holder of the world record for a 1/4-mile run by a golf cart at 103.65 miles per hour, Plum Quick set out on October 31st to break that record. And break it they did by recording a 12.24 second run at 118.76 mile per hour. That’s quick by regular street-car standards. A golf cart? Outrageous….obviously, or it wouldn’t be a world record.
So again, maybe if some speedier golf carts hit the links, all of our rounds could be moved through at a quicker pace. OK, OK….so maybe 118 miles per hour isn’t exactly realistic. But if we dialed it down a notch to say, I don’t know, 40 miles per hour? Maybe then we could…..wait a minute. What am I saying? The accidents this would lead to would only slow the game down further. Oh well, it sounded like a good idea…
Swing ’til you’re happy!
