Well, let me tell ya somethin’ ’bout this here… what do you call it? Golf motorcycle? Sounds fancy, but I reckon it’s just a newfangled way to get around them golf courses. Now, I ain’t never played golf myself. Too busy workin’ the fields and raisin’ chickens, ya know? But I seen them fellas ridin’ around in them little carts. Always seemed kinda slow to me.
So, this golf motorcycle thing, I guess it’s supposed to be faster, huh? Faster than them old carts, I mean. They say it goes somethin’ like 15 miles per hour. That’s faster than my old mule, I’ll tell ya that! But still, seems like a lot of fuss just to hit a little white ball around.
Now, they say it’s got a battery, this motorcycle thing. A lithium battery, whatever that is. Sounds powerful, I guess. They say it can go for 36 holes on one charge. That’s a whole lotta holes, ain’t it? More holes than in my grandma’s old sieve, I betcha. And it’s got these fat tires, too. I reckon that’s so it don’t get stuck in the mud or somethin’. Good for them fellas who like to play golf even when it’s rainin’, I suppose.
They call it “ready golf,” this new way of playin’ with these motorcycles. Each fella gets his own little motorcycle and drives straight to his ball. No more waitin’ around for the other fellas, I guess. Sounds efficient, but I dunno if it’s more fun. Sometimes, it’s nice to just slow down and enjoy the sunshine, ya know? Even if you’re just chasin’ after a little white ball.
- They say it’s built just for playin’ golf. Not for ridin’ to the store or nothin’. Just for golf.
- And it costs money, too. Lots of money, probably. I heard them golf courses ain’t cheap, and I bet this motorcycle ain’t cheap neither. They say an 18-hole round costs somethin’ like $43! That’s a whole lotta chicken feed, I tell ya. I could buy a whole flock of chickens for that much.
- And they got different kinds, too. Some are called “Koppla Swift,” some are called “Smart Off-Road Electric Golf Scooters.” Sounds like a bunch of hogwash to me, but I guess them city folks like fancy names.
But I tell ya what, this whole thing seems a little bit silly. Ridin’ around on a motorcycle just to play golf? Seems like a waste of good gasoline, or electricity, or whatever it runs on. Back in my day, we walked everywhere, and we were just as happy. But I guess times change, and folks got different ideas about what’s fun and what’s not.
So, if you got the money and you like to play golf, I guess this golf motorcycle might be somethin’ you’d enjoy. But me? I’ll stick to my old mule and my garden. That’s plenty of excitement for one old lady. And it don’t cost me $43 a day, neither.
Anyways, they talk about this “durable construction.” Now, I don’t know much about these fancy words, but I reckon it means it’s built tough. Gotta be, I guess, if you’re gonna be ridin’ it all over them hills and valleys on the golf course. And that “powerful battery,” well, I already told ya ’bout that. Seems like it’ll keep you goin’ for a good long while.
I seen some pictures of these things, and they look kinda like a scooter, but bigger. And they got these big ol’ tires, like I said. Kinda reminds me of them tractors the young fellas drive around these days. Only smaller, and I guess, quieter. Wouldn’t wanna be scarin’ the golfers with a loud engine, now would ya? And that “Smart Off-Road” part, well, I guess that means it can handle the rough stuff. Not just the smooth paths, but the bumpy bits too. Gotta be handy if you hit your ball into the weeds, I reckon.
So, there you have it. My two cents on this golf motorcycle thing. Take it or leave it. It ain’t gonna change my life none, but maybe it’ll change yours. Who knows? Maybe one day I’ll even try it out myself. But don’t hold your breath. I’m pretty happy with my old mule, and I ain’t plannin’ on tradin’ her in for no fancy motorcycle anytime soon.
