Well, golfing just got a lot cooler…pun intended. When I saw this story, I did a little research and found that air conditioned golf carts have been around for a few years. However, since this is the first I’ve heard of it, and because I have golfed countless times in ridiculous heat, I’m running with this like it’s hot news.
Palmetto Dunes in Hilton Head, SC has added Coolwell G2 equipped golf carts. The Coolwell G2 is actually really cool. It pulls heat and moisture from the air, through a big block of ice, blowing cold air onto the golfers. In 110 degree heat, it uses about 13 pounds of ice for a round of golf. It also automatically shuts off when you get out of the cart. And for us golfers in places with four seasons, the G2 also has a switch that turns it into a heater! (Files this under really simple inventions I can’t believe I never thought of)
As for the other half of the cheesy photo above, Palmetto Dunes is also offering Segway Golf Transporters. I attempted to get some better pictures of the G2 from Coolwell’s website, but they’re either out of business or don’t pay their bills on time – all that comes up is a GoDaddy landing page. Regardless, these are two really cool ideas for improving transportation around the golf course…but I can only imagine what this will do to already high greens fees!
HA! I’ll say those are air-conditioned! I’ve actually played Palmetto Dunes but have not seen those babies careening down the fairways! Great article!
