Cheers arcitech, the guys I play with pay in beers for the ride
so it is partly a financial commitment NOT to hire
BTW what does it cost to hire a cart for golf in the US? Here in Australia it can be up to $35x3 devided by 2 is $50 a week....the cart pays for itself in a year!
I often get asked how I keep my batteries so clean....so regular maintenance is already to the fore. Thanks for your comments.
