Keeping in mind my recent rant about golf carts.. name some ideal ways to pimp a golf-cart! Hudraulics and nitro are my first bet on how to make it properly cool, but I KNOW there's more that can be done!

My dad was reading an autobiography of a professional motocross racer (maybe Travis Pastrana? I don't remember). Anyway, apparantly at one point, the guy relates a story from when he and a few friends went golfing. The golf carts were gas-powered, and were governed to only about 5 miles per hour. They lifted the seats to get to the engine, and figured out that if they stuck a golf tee in the governor, they could essentially deactivate it. As a result, they were bashing around the course in golf carts they were getting up to around 40-50 mph or so (maybe more, I don't remember exactly. Maybe some hyperbole on the author's part). Hitting hills and getting a little air. Bottoming out. Generally trashing the carts. Apparantly, within short order, the golf course switched to electric carts.

What a golf cart really needs is a flux capacitor. That way, you can go back in time and retry that shot that just landed in the water hazard.

I suppose the avoiding yourself could be achieved by wearing a groucho marx getup....  |

Well, sure. Unless you happen to look like Groucho Marx. In that case, would Chico, Harpo, or Zeppo be more appropriate?

Dan Driver: Hello sports fans. Thank you for tuning into the first annual Amateurs Open here at Finkbine Golf Course in Iowa City. I am Dan Driver and I am here with Carl Clubber to provide badly needed commentary on this event.
Carl Clubber: That’s right Dan. And look at what a beautiful day we have here. Which is a good thing. I saw our contestants at the driving range, and they need all the help they can get.
Dan Driver: Yep. But let’s get the game. Up first is a local player, Sir Prillo.
Carl: Dan, that is an unusual grip he is using. Have you ever seen anything like it?
Dan: I believe that it’s called ‘holding the wrong end of the club’.
Carl: Wow. You would think somebody would point out the mistake to him.
(Sounds of screeching tires in the background)
Dan: HOLY MOLY!! Folks, a golf cart just blazed onto the course and stopped right next to Prillo! Carl, how fast do you think that thing was going?
Carl: I would guess 80 mph.
Dan: Look Dan, the driver just got out. Folks, he is somebody wearing a Groucho Marx getup. Now he is yelling at Prillo, trying to get him to hold the club properly.
Carl: Ouch! Prillo just took a swing at the stranger and connected with his noggin.
Dan: And Prillo’s assault has knocked of the strangers mask. My God, the stranger looks exactly like Prillo! Carl, does Prillo have a twin brother?
Carl: No. I bet this is a future version of Prillo who has time traveled back to prevent a bad tee-off.
Dan: Oh look. Now they are wrestling on the ground. Couldn’t this be dangerous?
Carl: Yes, Dan. If there is only one thing Jean-Claude Van Damme has taught us, it’s that the same matter can’t occupy the same space. It turns people into balls of silver goo that explode.
(A dull pop is heard in the background)
Carl and Dan: Ewwwwwwwww.
Dan: Well that was exciting. But here comes out next player, Paul Pathetic. Carl, do you know why he is wearing a Vegas Elvis outfit?
Carl: No, but it can’t be good. Let’s just hope he can hit the ball without killing himself.

You did your research. There is a Finkbine Golf Course in Iowa City. I used to drive past it almost every day.
