Bend, OR (PRUnderground) May 5th, 2020
As golf courses begin to reopen around the country with new COVID-19 safety measures and professional golf gets ready to return with a live televised two-on-two skins game on May 17 featuring Rory McIlroy, amateur golfers are chomping at the bit to play their favorite local courses.
In this new age of social distancing on the golf course, one golf equipment company is working to keep up with increased demand for their products. Cart Tek, a leading online retailer of electric golf trolleys and remote-control golf carts, has seen a 300-percent increase in sales of their individual electric golf caddies because riding golf carts do not allow for social distancing and many courses are not allowing riding cart rentals.
“Golfers are itching to get back on the course but want to do it in a way that keeps them and others safe,” explained Tyler Northrop, co-owner of Cart Tek. “As a result, we’re seeing sales of our remote-controlled golf caddies increase exponentially – they’re flying out the door. Electric caddies and trolleys are a much better way to play the game than having to carry your clubs through 18 holes.”
Cart Tek offers a line of high-quality, remote-control electric golf caddies and trollies. The caddies, such as the best-selling GRi-1500LiV2 retailing at $1,499, have strong, lightweight frames and programmable settings to tailor the cart to a golfer’s playing style. Cart Tek trollies, such as the GRi-1350Lh for $999, feature three modes to give players three carts in one. All of Cart Tek’s caddies and trollies are powered by lithium-ion batteries for better performance and a longer lifespan.
Cart Tek also sells a variety of non-remote-controlled electric golf caddies and battery powered push carts as a step up from the traditional three-wheel push cart. These electric trolleys are ideal for moderately hilly courses and feature variable speeds, cruise control, adjustable handle heights and automatic downhill braking.
All Cart Tek caddies and parts can be shipped within the U.S. and come with a one-year full warranty. The lithium-ion batteries come with a two-year warranty. Cart Tek also offers a 30-day return policy. For more information about Cart Tek products, visit www.carttek.com.
