March 2023 – The Beginning of Cart Season

March, in the southern states, is always a good month for “carters” because it signifies the beginning of “Cart Season”. Though as I write this, it’s still January. Because this is a print magazine (as well as digital), we are required to be print-ready two months in advance to provide enough time for delivery to our retail stores.

The PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando is a couple of weeks away. It is one of my favorite events of the year. As a golf cart enthusiast and degenerate golfer, there are few things that scintillate my senses more than the PGA Merchandise Show. The product exhibition space boasts over a million square feet of awesomeness. The show has everything you could possibly want and alerts you to things that you didn’t know you wanted. For me, it’s satisfying on multiple levels. It’s always rewarding to meet face-to-face with people that I do business with through email. It’s nice to meet with our advertisers and break bread with the people that make this magazine a reality. The show also highlights the latest electric vehicle models and newest technologies in the golf cart industry. I’m sure 2023 will not disappoint and I plan on spending a lot of quality time talking to OEMs and asking a lot of questions. Stay tuned…

In this March edition we are featuring a company we have been working with for a long time – Bintelli Electric Vehicles. Based in our very own hometown of Charleston, SC, Bintelli EVs have made dramatic inroads in becoming one of the most popular street-legal, electric vehicle brands in the country. They have a robust product line offering electric golf carts, shuttles, electric commercial vehicles, and an extensive array of parts and accessories. They are a loyal sponsor to this magazine and Kelly Madden has written a feature article about Bintelli Electric Vehicles in this edition that I hope you enjoy.

We hope you enjoy this March 2023 edition of Golf Carting Magazine.
