Can you imagine this as a golf cart? It would be pulled by a horse, of course, or a jackass. The players would sit in the front of the cart with their legs hanging down. The golf clubs, encased in old canvas bags, would lay on the floor in the back of the cart.
There are a couple of problems, though. Coming up a steep hill, the golfers and bags might slide right out the back of the cart into the muck and mire, while the horse goes galloping off into the distance.
Or, when going down a steep hill, the golfers and bags might go flying off the front of the cart, bumping into the rear end of the horse, and the poor animal, not knowing what was going on, would be jolted into escape mode and drag the poor golfers and their clubs into the nearest pond.
Maybe this is why, up until relatively recently, most golfers walked the course?

Good story.
An interesting thought no doubt. Warm greetings to you.
and That is why I don't Golf!!! lol!
Not very comfy!
Very nice Story 😊
Loved your narrative! Beautiful image too!
Nope. I can't see it. I suspect that golfers in the days of yore were made of sterner stuff and managed to haul themselves and their clubs about on foot. (BTW: Edits made on your comment per your request.)
Looks intetesting but i prefer golf carts now
Even real golf carts can give you a real jolt when you go over a bump. Much prefer to walk.
LOVE this photo because of the composition and all the different textures: the wood of the cart, the brick wall and the beautiful gate. So many woeful geometric forms. The cart also reminds me of those in village churches in New Mexico, harkening back to the days of the Penitentes. They are still around, so I have been told!!
Haha! Come on Lowell, no self respecting horse would be seen anywhere near a golf course 😀😀
You have a good imagination Lowell. I think I'd rather walk!
Wouldn't it be easier in general just to walk the course, even with motorized scooters?
From my point of view, I wouldn't be on the course in the first place, mind you...
I echo Lois' comment, Lowell. Great capture and narrative.
Oh Lowell, are you sure this is a golf cart? :)
Nice one, in any case !
Fun, the horse has run away.. :)
