ABSTRACT:
A golf cart includes a seat that can be adjusted in several planes whereby an ambulatory disadvantaged golfer can safely operate the golf cart by himself and can be supported in a position to execute a golf shot. The golf cart positions the golfer so that his or her golf swing will not be inhibited by the golf cart and the golfer can adjust his stance to accommodate various terrains and golf club lengths. The golf cart has the steering wheel on the right hand side and the seat swings 90.degree. from a forward facing driving orientation into a sideways facing playing orientation, then adjusts up or down, moves forward, and tilts to keep the golfer's legs and feet out of the way of the golf swing. Safety systems prevent movement of the seat when the cart is in motion and prevent movement of the cart when the seat is not in the driving orientation, and the cart braking and accelerator systems are operated using a single hand lever.
