I’m cruising down the first fairway at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa’s Champions Course at 20 miles per hour. The Southern California breeze is blowing in my face as I’m sitting aboard one of the resort’s new fat tire single-rider electric scooters. It’s exhilarating, to say the least.
Essentially, this is a pedal-less, throttle-powered, 150-pound electric bicycle. It’s incredibly easy and intuitive to operate. Plus, it’s whisper-quiet and gives you a cushioned, smooth ride. And its oversized tires offer a sense of stability, to say the least. At La Costa, you can ride the scooter on fairways even where the “cart path only” signs are up. And you can drive them right up to the green. They don’t leave tire marks. And best of all, they can speed up play. With no one ahead to slow us down, our group played 18 holes in less than three-and-a-half hours. That’s an hour ahead of pace. And we took our time. That’s because after you shoot, you can drive directly to your ball without needing to drop off a playing partner at his or her ball -- as you might need to do while driving a traditional cart. It can be a significant time-saver. Plus with the speed of the scooter, you can make it to your next shot in a matter of seconds.
Speaking of speed, there are three modes that top off at 8, 12 and 20 miles per hour, respectively. Mind you, I’m used to riding electric bikes. So I acclimated to the top mode in no time. One of my playing partners had never been on an electric bike. So he kept it in low mode the whole day -- and said he felt comfortable on it from moment one. Turning tight corners was never an issue. Nor was going over bumps.
What I liked best about Phat Golf Scooter: It helped me focus more on my own game. Driving only to my ball, I had extra time to figure out which club I needed to hit next and where I wanted the ball to land. Believe me, I’m slow to adapt to things. But I will take the scooter out again for a golf round, at the next opportunity.
