The First PRACTICAL Four-Wheel Golf Car PRICE: far below the published list price of other 4-wheel cars and comparable with price on 3-wheel golf cars. WEIGHT: 300-500 lbs. lighter than other 4-wheel cars and 70-200 lbs. lighter than other 3-wheel golf cars. This assures double the distance on a battery charge and lengthens the life of batteries by 100%. BRAKES: CAROCHE is the first golf car to employ both auto-type hydraulic brakes and a separate mechanical braking system on both rear wheels. WHY FOUR WHEELS? A noted golf writer has predicted in his Cleveland newspaper column that by 1975 we will see the 3-wheel golf car die and only 4-wheel golf cars will be used. John Ross recently wrote in Professional Golfer magazine, "Insurance Companies quietly pleased by increased number of 4-wheel cars being used on golf courses. Claim 4-wheel golf cars have better stability." P.S.

While serving in the marines Gustin was in President Eisenhower’s Color Guard at the White House.

  • All-Time Great Golfers * HISTORY MAKER GOLF

    All-Time Great Golfers H HISTORY MAKER GOLF By Gideon Eames (& symbol indicates that the golfer is a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame.) TOMMY AARON (USA) 1937 - Aaron is best known for winning the 1973 Masters. He is also known for an error in the 1968 Masters, when he entered a 4 instead of a 3 on Roberto De Vicenzo’s scorecard, which kept De Vicenzo out of a playoff for the championship. GEORGE ARCHER (USA) 1939 – 2005 Archer won 13 events on the PGA Tour, including the 1969 Masters, and at 6 ft. 5½ in. he is the tallest ever golfer to win a major. After his death, it was revealed that Archer was barely able to read or write, and a Foundation set up in his name has since raised more than $1m to help those afflicted with learning disabilities. PAUL AZINGER (USA) 1960 - Azinger won 12 times on the PGA Tour, including the 1993 PGA Championship. He spent almost 300 weeks in the top 10 of the Official World Golf Rankings between 1988 and 1994. In the mid-90s, Azinger successfully battled non-Hodgkin lymphoma in his right shoulder, and he is now a respected TV analyst. SEVERIANO (“SEVE”) BALLESTEROS & (Spain) 1957 – 2011 Widely regarded as one of the most gifted and entertaining players ever to play the game, Ballesteros won a record 50 European Tour titles and 90 professional tournaments around the world in total, including five majors, and spent 61 weeks at the top of the Official World Golf Rankings between 1986 and 1989.
