A few years back I did a conversion on an EZ-Go golf cart for a paralyzed veteran to be able to play and hit balls. Did it back here in my shop. Someone at the VFW reached out to me and I was glad to help. Had to take the top off and build a brace and platform on the right side to the chassis for a swivel type seat. Also had to cut the bag mounts off the right side. We did have to add extra leaves to the rear springs to accommodate his weight being so far back from center. He would usually have another guy drive him and assist with handing him a club etc. He could not putt out of course but he and the guy enjoyed themselves with a big cooler of beer in the front passenger seat. The course had absolutely no problem with them in fact they did not charge him. They actually let him keep his cart in their cart barn free. If the cart needed repairs either me or the course mechanic handled it. That guy sadly passed a few years ago but at least he was getting out and happy in his final days. I played a few times with him and we would play for a couple of bucks. I would use only 3 or 4 clubs and hit from the back and he teed off at the ladies tees. Anything for him on the green was a automatic 2 putt except 10 feet in which for him was a automatic 1 putt. He would beat me sometimes out of like $2 and he would say go get me a beer.

One of his fellow vets from the VFW saw a video on U-Tube of the same guy. That got it rolling. One of the guys knew me and knew I could weld and fabricate and had the needed equipment. They were going to hold a fundraiser to purchase a cart. A fellow ended up donating a used stock cart because he had bought a fancy one. Someone knew someone and someone with a boat dealership donated the swivel boat seat like goes on a bass boat. Also had some scrap materials donated for fabrication. All in all this was a great experience where all the stars lined up and a deserving Veteran was helped 2 Quote Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex---- 3 wood TM V-Steel Aldila 65G R Flex 15*--- 7 Wood TM V-Steel UST Pro Force 65 R flex 21*---- 9 wood TM V-Steel stock MAS Stiff shaft 24*--- Irons 4 thru 9 Mac Muirfield TT black label --- PW Vokey SM-4 51* stock shaft--- SW Vokey SM 5 L grind 58* stock shaft--- Putter -- Rusty Scotty Santa Fe fluted Bulls Eye shaft---.

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy The video I saw that guy had an old school EZ-GO with the metal flat fenders.

Advstj Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I’m a dog person but I would have no issue with it. In fact, I would go turn my key to the cart back in and enjoy the walk with you. A simple conversation with playing partners would enough. Seeing how the dog is while on the course will hopefully show them things are going to be ok. Service animals serve a valid purpose and ideas in the world are ever changing. Hopefully your playing partners have open minds. 4 Quote WITB:Driver: Titleist 915D2, Diamana Whiteboard 72X 3 Wood: Callaway DR, Project X 6.5 Hybrid: Callaway X2Hot, Aldila Trinity X Irons: 4-PW, Mizuno MP68, Project X 6.5 Wedges: 52, Callaway X Tour, Project X 56, Cleveland 588, Project X 60, Callaway Mac Daddy, Project X Putter: Scotty Cameron Select Newport 2 Link to comment
braincramp Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Love dogs but don't have one. I just can't imagine anyone in their right mind having a problem with having your dog with you.

ZenGolfer Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 If its a service dog, I cant imagine anyone having issue with it. Just as long as people realize and respect that is a service dog, not a pet and they shouldnt try to pet or play with your dog. My dog isnt a service dog but Id love to take her to the course with me. It would be a disaster though. Shes such a people dog and shes such a cute dog that it would be a disaster. 3 Quote "I suppose its better to be a master of 7 than to be vaguely familiar with 14." - Chick Evans Whats in my Sun Mountain 2.5+ stand bag?
