Weather is one of the uncontrollable foes of a good game of golf. It can stop a game in its tracks, ruining that one chance to finally birdie a particularly tough hole or beat your personal best score. Now, although you cannot do anything about the weather, you can certainly do something to protect yourself and your cart. By purchasing golf cart enclosures, golfers can keep themselves out of the rain and wait out a storm. If you want to be able to play on even in bad weather then a golf cart enclosure might be a very wise buy.
For lack of a better way to describe it I would have to day that an enclosure is a portable cover for your golf cart. An enclosure tends to differ from a standard cover in a number of ways, with mobility being one of the main differences. Most enclosures are simply a three sided protection for your cart with clear windows allowing you to see out and to drive in the rain. On the whole they are also purely utilitarian in design with a limited range of colors being available. One tends to use an enclosure for utility's sake, not for any sense of customization. Sold in a variety of sizes to fit different makes and models of golf cart they are becoming increasingly popular with dedicated golfers and casual players alike.
When shopping for golf cart enclosures, try to keep your own interests in mind. Not every golfer actually needs an enclosure, after all. Only those who intend to drive their cart frequently in all weathers and those who object to getting wet should even consider the purchase. With that said, having such a product on-hand can be quite handy if you are stuck out at a far-off green when a rainstorm appears out of nowhere. Regardless of your intentions, the following criteria should be considered when making your first purchase of a cart enclosure.
How often you play is naturally a major consideration in any purchasing decision. However, even if you are not that frequent a player you may still decide that you do not want your game to be halted simply by a short burst of rain. It is a little bit like carrying an umbrella in the trunk of your car. It will probably rarely see the light of day but, when it is needed, you are very glad it is there.
There are not only different qualities of enclosure available but they also come in a range of designs. A heavier grade of enclosure will generally provide greater protection that a lighter grade, as well as last longer, but it takes more work to fit it to your cart and then to take it off again as required. Similarly, a model with flap doors which simply lift up to let you in and out may be easy to use, but a design with full-zip doors will be better at keeping the wind and rain out.
A final consideration before purchasing an enclosure is whether or not your cart has been altered in such a manner that its overall size and shape have been altered. If this is the case then your cart may no longer take a standard enclosure.
A golf cart enclosure is essential for anyone who spends any reasonable amount of time out playing golf. Just make sure when you are shopping for an enclosure that it fits your cart and that it is of a design and quality that suits your needs and pocketbook. Remember too that, although they may not be the most beautiful of accessories there are enclosures which really do not look at all bad if you are prepared to hunt around for them.
