Walking offers numerous compelling benefits, particularly when it comes to enhancing your health. Recent research indicates that traversing the course—whether you carry your bag or utilize a manual or electric cart—can burn between 650 and 750 calories
Moreover, walking on the grass rather than cruising along cart paths can heighten your awareness and appreciation of the environment as well as your golfing abilities. The tranquility, the invigorating atmosphere, and the connection with nature all contribute to the idea that walking can indeed improve your performance on the course.
Yet despite these advantages, many golfers still opt for riding in carts.
Here’s an additional, often overlooked benefit of walking that resonates with the increasing number of new golfers taking up the sport: it can be a more enjoyable experience.
The hassle of lugging your bag, repeatedly lifting it onto your shoulders, and trudging back and forth to your ball can diminish the joy of playing. For those seeking a more enjoyable round, utilizing an electric cart can be a game-changer.
One innovative option on the market is the lightweight, three-wheeled Cybercart from Alphard Golf. Featuring motors located in the rear wheels, this electric cart can be easily folded down into a compact size for effortless storage and transport—something many other motorized carts struggle with.
The Cybercart boasts a 36-hole plug-and-play battery with a USB-C charging port, allowing you to power accessories like your smartphone. It comes equipped with a full directional remote control with an LCD display, gyroscopic straight tracking technology, downhill brake control, and an electronic parking brake.
Additionally, the CyberCart is Bluetooth enabled for use with Alphard’s app and is compatible with accessories such as the Sidekick and TFS (Tether Follow Sensor), which enables your cart to follow you autonomously on the course.
After testing the CyberCart over several rounds, we believe it stands out as the leading electric cart on the market. Three noteworthy features include:
- Its remarkable quiet operation.
- Highly responsive remote control functionality.
- Its compact design, allowing it to easily fold into a cube for storage.
Packed with features, the Cybercart also includes an umbrella holder, cup and bottle holders, a phone holder, a storage net, a lockable swivel wheel, a parking brake, and even a magnetic holder for your rangefinder or golf towel.
While it’s difficult to determine the exact number of golfers in the U.S. who walk the course, our experience suggests that using the Alphard Cybercart significantly enhances the walking experience, making your golfing rounds far more enjoyable.
