I Want Pics of Your Rigs (Golf Carts)

[TooNA]

I have seen some creative Disc Golf carts out there. Disc Golfers have made carts out of baby carriages, ball golf carts, old file cabinets, etc. Will you send me a pic of your rig? I want to post them on my website.
Thanks,
TooNA

Sweet rig!!
Kinda reminds me of Scandinavian Furniture! Is this your design? One thing that I like is the fact that you can have a full size towel and it doesn't drag on the ground the way it would with a standard golf bag.
The other thing that stikes me as cool is the seat.
Simple. Effective. Awesome.

Good for a dry climate for sure. Would be frustrating in the rain. I too like the seat, simple and beautiful.

[TooNA]

In the rain everything is mushed. Those wheels look like they could handle alot. I suppose if it gets too bad you would just resort to a bag.
I am looking foward to checking out more rigs though!

The best options I have seen have a place to secure a bag in the cart. If the course is cart friendly, you take the cart, if it is too rough, you grab the bag.

You also need to consider bad weather when designing a cart. The discs and towels need to be protected from rain and mud.

Protomag .... that's gotta be a Chatelle designed rig! Nice to see that you finally got over the Igloo supply problem. Both of my original Diskarts are holding up just fine.

[TooNA]

I wonder if anyone has tried to secure an umbrella to this cart - or any other ones...

[TooNA]

What kind of Diskarts? Do they have coolers (igloos) on them?

[protomag]

I use my waterproof version (with umbrellaholder) in the rain.

That is what "The Great Timmy Gill" uses.

I have looked for the box before. Is it a tool box? What brand and where did you get it.

I know Timmy has a sweet set-up. I watched him putt from under his umbrella.

[protomag]

he bought the first one that I sold......after people saw him using it, people around here decided it was ok to use a cart. Before that people didnt want anything to do with them. I ended up building about 140 of them. Igloo quit making the container about 4 years ago

I'm still working the bugs out , but here is a look of my new rear seat deck lid.
Doubles as a cooler holder or 3rd / 4th seat.

I got tired of lugging a bag around during the really hot summer months, so I decided to do a little engineering of my own. This ended up being free since I had all of the components, but never the less it works.



Built using one of those folding golf carts, some nice water sealed wood and some hinges for the bag shelf and the cooler/milk crate shelf. Also nice having the scorecard holder, and it has to golfball holders that work well for holding towels as well. As you can see, I also added a nice mounting point for a cheap folding chair umbrella. It works to keep the bag and towels dry, and I usually have an empty milkcrate attached when I know the course needs a little litter picked up.

Igloo quit making the container about 4 years ago

That sucks! Have you found anything that is half as good? The cart that Timmy pulls is perfect.

[protomag]

no I havent, everything else I've seen is to flimsy and weak compared to those Igloo packmasters. As soon as a suitable replacement comes along, I'll start making them again.

How much??

[TooNA]

I tried making one like that! My woodworking skills sucked so bad it looked like it was used in a Mad Max film!

[quickdisc]

The trick is to make one that folds small enough so you can check it with your bags when you Fly around the World playing Disc Golf !!!!

[krupicka]

Here's my cart that I built. I wanted something where I could grab my bag if necessary to go out into the rough. The only thing that I don't like about it is that I have to take the box off the cart (it is mounted with wing nuts) when I want to throw it in the trunk between rounds.

TooNA you said you were collecting these for your website. What is the address of your site?

[ferretdance03]

This is my Dad's cart. He used the standard golf cart and cut the milkcrate to make a frame for his bag. Then he can pull the bag off if he needs to. Also, the umbrella is attached to about a 2' piece of pvc which slides inside the larger pvc tube on the cart, so it is secure, and can cover 3-4 people in the rain, plus his bag, with no handling or moving it. Of course there's a cooler for beverages, and a bungee net for extra coats, etc.

I am trying to make the website a nesletter type website. I thought that an article on the different types of carts would be a great idea. So far I am impressed with the response.

[TooNA]

If no one objects, I would like to post these on my website. Let me know if you DON'T want them posted.
Thanks,

Many of those old golf pull cart can be found at yard sales, especially around retired ,elderly areas. As for the milk cart, they are good and sturdy, but you can also use the hand baskets from the grocery store.
