Description
While driving toward the mountains we passed what looked like a large farm, complete with barns. We were amazed to discover the pastures were not filled with farm animals, but with golf carts. All sizes and ages of golf carts occupying the fields. We had to stop and were amazed at the conveniences some of them contain like windsheilds, ball cleaners and cooler trays. This image was taken in one of the fields filled with different kinds. I used some painting techniques and textures on this image.
A golf cart is a small vehicle designed originally to carry two golfers and their golf clubs around a golf course or on desert trails with less effort than walking. Golf carts come in a wide range of formats and are more generally used to convey small numbers of passengers short distances at speeds less than 15 mph.
Originally golf carts were electrically powered, but in time gasoline-powered variants started to occur. The electric variety is now used in many communities where their lack of pollutants, lack of noise, and safety for pedestrians and other carts (due to slow speeds) are beneficial. When purpose-built for general transportation these are called Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs), but with various operating limitations such as top speed and heavy regulation on which type of streets these types of carts are permitted to be used. These may resemble the golf carts shown above, although some are now being made with all-weather car-like bodies.
The minimum age to drive a golf cart is 13 in Georgia, Alabama, California, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Rhode Island, and Vermont. In Florida, the minimum age is 14. In all the other states, the minimum age is 15.

I too am a golfer and this one immediately caught my eye. If I can give a little suggestion though, next time you might want to get a close up of the cart name E.Z.GO as someone might want the equivalent of the staples, easy button... LOL. Seriously though, nice image Sandi!

The golfers at clubs on the greens hitting the balls and this photo is of a company that sells and services golf carts for their clubs and individuals all over the country and world that use them. I see many driving them when we go to the beach on the islands. Thanks much for your comment, Dagmar, hope I helped explain this to you! :)
