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!
