Golf cars today come in a wide range of formats and are more generally used to convey small numbers of passengers short distances at relatively medium speeds.They are generally 4' x 8' x 6' high and weigh 900-1,000 pounds.

Most golf courses are about 7,000 yards in length, which equates to about four miles. That measurement is normally measured in an almost straight line from the tee box to the center of the cup on each hole.

However, most golfers do not hit the ball in a straight line down the course from hole to hole.In fact, for many of us, it seems we spend our entire round zigzagging the course.

Until the 1960's, most golf courses were played exclusively on foot. Golfers would carry their own bags, or pull them behind them on a pull cart.

For those who were fortunate enough to play golf at country clubs, caddies were provided to carry the players clubs, but most were still looking at a five-mile walk.

Additionally, because walking is such a slow pace, many courses would have to schedule tee times at intervals that would accommodate walking.

This changed in 1962 when Merlin L.Halvorson invented the first self-propelled golf car. A golf cart is something that is pulled and a golf car is something that propels itself.

Somehow, this terminology has become confused and intertwined over the years but when someone says golf cart, the normally think of the vehicle that one rides in on a golf course.

In the 1960's, the game and technology evolved with the development of the modern day golf car. These cars were built with gasoline motors to transport two golfers, and their golf clubs, around the course.The major manufacturers at the time were E-Z-GO, Pargo, Harley Davidson and Cushman.

The body frames, the undercarriage and suspensions closely resemble those of modern automobiles. The rubber tires are similar to those on cars, but the treads are designed in a way that the cart may be driving on grass and not damage the turf on a golf course.

Controls include a modern steering wheel, accelerator and brake, where the brake also has a lock, to ensure that the car does not roll freely on inclines.

Accessories on the modern golf cart include straps to secure the golf bags, a basket (for towels, balls, coolers, etc), cup holders, ball compartments and holes that golfers can slide a few extra golf tees into.

To be more environmentally friendly, many golf carts are now manufactured with electric, battery powered motors. These batteries are rechargeable, and a charge can normally last through several days and rounds of golf. However, there is still demand for the gas powered golf cars, especially on golf courses where the rolling terrain may require extra horsepower for the car to climb hills.

There are 3 main manufacturers of golf cars: Club Car, E-Z-GO, and Yamaha. Each have their own lines of after market parts to enhance off road capabilities (such as lift kits, larger tires with aggressive tread patterns, etc.).

There are also parts made to help in towing, such as hitch mounts, cargo boxes, radios, high-performance mufflers and air filters, high speed or torque gear sets, and custom paint/decal sets. There is even a "Hummer" golf car available from many dealers for around $25,000.00 US dollars.

A wedding is a union of two individuals promising to live through all happiness and sorrows. Every year thousands of couples decide to get married. Most of them are obsessed with making their wedding a unique but very personal affair and end up being in a tight spot. The very initial glimpse of a wedding is conveyed to all through the wedding invitation. Designing a wedding invitation is one of the most vital works in a wedding plan. Here are a few ideas to help.

As regards to designing wedding invitations, one can go wild to any extent. While planning a wedding invitation, one should be thoughtful about the outline and style of the invitation as it reflects the couples personal style. Now, more than anything, the couple is concerned with the small detailing throughout their wedding.

To design a wedding invitation, one has to consider color, texture, form, themes, and appearance. These days, a range of alternatives are available in the market. Traditional cards are totally given away and modern couples prefer options reflecting current seasons, personal hobbies, and specific color combinations.

Invitations can be contemporary in approach or might even be further personalized by adding photographs of tender moments with thoughtful quotations. Then, on detailing for the invitation, one has to choose complimenting font, style, and color. It must be kept in mind that it should be legible to the entire guest list. Choices for both are available in the market easily.

Many times, the company who is making your invitation gives you an enormous range of verse, quotations, printing style, and fonts. The bride should always look for the best and most personal invitation.

While addressing your guests, one must always prefer being very personal as all the invitees are loved ones and one should always be careful not to miss anyone. If the wedding invitation is to be sent to people with a family, it should be made clear by either mentioning individual names or adding "with family" to the label.

If children are not invited, then a sorry note or something similar to it should be mentioned to inform that children are not invited. In most circumstances, children are most welcome and by their youthful spirit add charm and excitement to the wedding ceremony and reception. In the case where one has to invite a person who is single, it is normal to add that guests are welcomed.

Specific wedding invitations are made for everyone. When one just wants to invite an individual to the reception alone and not the ceremony, like a distant relative or business colleague, one should graciously and respectfully mention this somewhere in the invitation.

Finally, one should be forewarned that few invitees, even after accepting the invitation, do not make it to the wedding. So, for deciding the menu and budget for the wedding, one should always keep this in mind.

The most important thing is to double or triple check the invitations before sending them to print. Thus, get them done as quickly as possible because they are the initial act to start the celebration!
