ABSTRACT:
A golf cart system which can be installed on the fairway of a golf course. The cart system has improved power economy and anti-rolling and anti-pitching motions of the cart. The golf cart system includes a track embedded in the ground and a cart adapted to run on the track. According to the golf cart system, since the track exposed at the ground is very narrow, there is less chance of a golf ball hitting against the track. Even if a golf ball should happen to accidentally hit the exposed track portion, the ball will bounce similarly as when striking on natural grass if the exposed track portion is covered by elastic members such as artificial turf. This makes it possible to install the golf cart system on the fairway of a golf course. In addition, the rolling motion of the cart is effectively prevented by the first and second anti-rolling rollers. Especially, the provision of the second anti-rolling rollers enables to effectively prevent the rolling motion of the cart, since they are positioned most away from the center of gravity of the cart and can generate a large anti-rolling moment. The pitching motion of the cart is also effectively prevented by the anti-pitching rollers. Thus the provision of the anti-pitching rollers makes it possible to install the golf cart system in a golf course abundant in.
