Sgt. Pepper Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) In a different thread I mentioned that Golf Carts in SC in North Myrtle Beach is a big part of life here. Once it gets warm its my daily ritual to drive down to Ocean Blvd, it's about 10 mins away from the house, and look at girls walking The Strand in bikinis. Cause I like girls in bikinis. Well since its Memorial Day weekend the Golf Carts are out in full force. Well if your from out of town and you own your own, you need a way to get your Golf Cart to your rental property somehow. You can't see it from the photo, but it stars on it and I think they are Cowboys fans. Edited May 29, 2022 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) Here are a few parked. On the other side of the Golf Carts in the Atlantic Ocean. I'm a little confused, it says Public Walkway and Private Property. Edited May 29, 2022 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) The Street is Ocean Blvd. There are signs posted all over, the sign that is facing the other way in the median is probably one that says "No Golf Carts Permitted On Ocean Blvd". Well I'm a tourist, and that doesn't apply to me right? Saw the cops had a few pulled over the day before. I was behind this cart for about a mile, so they were not just coming form the beach and going across the street to where they were staying. Bisecting the Blvd is not against the law. Driving on it for a mile certainly is. Edited May 29, 2022 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 The street we are on is Main Street. If you look you can see the sign that say Ocean Blvd. Getting ready to make a left on to O B, once again another that thinks the laws don't apply to them.

Sgt. Pepper Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) Nothing special about this pic. Scooters usually mean you got a DUI and its your loophole to getting around that isn't a bike or walking. The scooter does not look like a rental, cause those are plastered with the company name on them. Oh, and there is about 10 bars that you could hit with a rock if you threw one from where the scooter is parked. Edited May 29, 2022 by Sgt.

Sgt. Pepper Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 So come on down. We can go out for all you can eat crab legs (I seriously need to do that soon), buy some Trump garbage, see girls fit themselves into bathing suits they shouldn't, drink some beers, and fire up the grill.

merciful-evans Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 An insight to a culture I didn't know existed. Golf carts without golfers. The nearest thing we have to that around here is mobility scooters. I have noticed that they are getting bigger and faster these last few years. There are even off road versions now. Weird. The golf cart looks like a step up nevertheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Are they taxed, registered, licenced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure SC taxes them and they probably need to be registered, but I’m sure it’s not as much as a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Here in the Heartland, it's all 4 wheelers, ATV's, UTV's and such. Knobby tires and some are pretty darned big. Never see golf carts around here except at a golf course. I have a few at the cabin, will probably ride today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I've seen videos of a few places where golf carts have evolved to a whole new level. I believe in retirement communities, I'd guess in Florida. The rich old farts trick out their golf carts out, spending as much as a new car would cost. Obviously, this is not the first First World Problem we've uncovered here: Maybe some customers are retired pimps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdecantoo Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I know about the golf carts and all but is there anyplace one could buy a T-shirt around there? Mobility scooter races! I love it! The Myrtle Beach 500mv😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 "Round here I see a lot of oldsters pedaling around on three wheeled bikes.(or trykes if you will) Some with those 15' poles with triangular bright orange flags at the end. Those golf carts seem interesting though.

Well you can easily change the panels to help disguise it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twang Gang Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 The new thing at the golf courses in Arizona is instead of a golf cart (for actually playing golf) they use what they call "Fat Tires", which is like a motorcycle with a small diameter but very wide set of tires. Most are two wheeled, and when you stop to hit a golf shot you generally need to put the kickstand down. They also make tricycle ones which will stand up on their own. Many stories of people losing control of them and driving into the pond etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing on the 2 wheeled ones it would not be a good idea, just in case you forget to put your kickstand down, there goes a $10 beer. Edited May 31, 2022 by Sgt.
