How to Customize Golf Carts

How to Customize Golf Carts
There may come a time in your life when you can devote at least three or four days a week to golf. Instead of taking whatever golf cart the starter feels like giving you, you may decide you want your own cart. You won't have to pay a rental fee every time you use it and you can customize it to suit your personality.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate
Step 1
Try adding a small refrigerator to your custom golf cart. You can keep it stocked with cold beverages and bring two or three sandwiches for yourself and your playing partners. To fit into a golf cart the mini-fridge should be 19 1/2 inches high, 18 1/2 inches wide and 17 3/4 inches deep. It can go in the rear of your cart and be powered by the cart's electrical system. Your custom cart has to be large enough so the refrigerator will fit in the back seat.
Step 2
Add a rear seat to your golf cart. When you're not on the course, kids will love riding in the back. Rear seat kits cost $408 and include rear top supports that attach to the rear of your cart. The seat has an aluminum frame that will not rust and seats are available in white or beige. See References below.
Step 3
Install a radio in your golf cart. You can listen to music with earphones while you are going from one spot on the course to the next. Just remember to keep the volume down so as to not disturb other golfers.
Step 4
Put rubber floor mats in your golf cart. You will be stepping on them during every round and mats can extend the life of your cart.
Step 5
Put a cellphone holder on the front of your dashboard. A cellphone holder lets you see calls and messages that come in during your round. You can answer them or let them go into voice mail.
