Disc Golf Cart Pictures and ideas

[Mr. Butlertron]

Here is my build. 10in PVC water pipe. Bottom is an insulated cooler with a drain plug on bottom. Gets lots of looks and I've never seen another like it. I've built 2 now for family and working on a 3rd now.

Great build! What are you using to divide the compartments?

Ball golf cart w small mod

Got a golf cart for $25 on craigslist. Had an old milk crate lying around so I cut in half, then cut and bent side on top to hold a bag. Used u bolts to attach to cart w/o drilling holes. Works good so far

I got a bag boy cart with the biggest wheels I could find at play it again sports. my grip eq bag is pretty solid with it mounted on there. Goes over rocks, stumps, curbs no problem. a couple of bungees to help with the stability and i'm set.

Reworked my cart, took the ideas given months ago on here. I used pipe clamps too attach 2 peg hooks, from which I hung the bag. Used some scrap hard board, 1x2 and angle brackets to make a shelf and zip tied it, which the bag rests on.
It may seem redundant having it like that, but the majority of the weight is on the straps, the shelf is more to support the bottom and the back of the bag.

My spring loaded stool and whatever I'm doing for a carry all/cooler on the bottom. I have the stool, it works great, haven't made my mind up on the cooler. I still need to get a couple of eye hooks to hang a towel or 2 from the pvc piece.

Messing around with older golf pull carts. Modded one to cary my Lat 64 bag.

Took an old golf bag and gutted it, but the weight distribution is too bottom heavy, needs to go on a 3 wheeled cart. Not my disc lineup in the golf bag, just showing how many it holds with the side pockets still available for clothes etc.

There are sooooo many older or unused golf bags out there that can be BOMBed their new life form, lots of storage too on the sides or back.

I love this, if I always used a cart, I would build one of these.

Is anyone using this brand/style ball golf cart?
Getting one that is almost new for $75.oo for my next project.
All of my previous carts have been worn out, or broken, but super cheap or free.

I have seen several guys using that Caddytek. It looks like it works pretty well. I think most have had to do some small mods or use bungees to hold the bag in place

I use my Clic Gear 3.0 when I have tournaments. Same design elements as the Caddytek. I use those heavy duty, reusable twist-ties that you can get at Walmart and Home Depot to anchor my bag's straps down to the rear wheel support bars. That's the best way I've found to keep the bag from moving side to side.

I will say that the Clic Gear is costly because it's built like a tank. I can't vouch for the Caddytek but with ball golf, a lot of times you get what you pay for. I hope it works out for you in the long run. Having a cart makes it so much easier to play all day.

I am pretty familiar with the cart life now.
The hardest part will be switching over my heater from the old cart.

Here it is.
The previous owner was a disc golfer, and he used a golfmahal on it.
So it came with a giant folding aluminum shelf.
I am going to cut it down some, to better fit my Octothorpe.

 

[mattc]

I used it for the first time last night.
Nice cart, but the original owner 's big aluminum shelf needs completely redone to make me happy.
It's too big, too low, and needs to sit up straighter.
I will also try and lighten it up some with some holes or slots

Has anyone tried using an oxygen cart? They aren't too hard to find.

They are not wide enough and the wheel sets are crap. Pushing at a quick walk on linoleum is wanky. Poles are low.

I think it would not be a bad design model start for working out a welded up tube project.

The Wheels are 11.5" Wide on standard size carts, there are also double cylinder models. The Delta cart is only 19.5", If only your only holding 15 discs low to the ground doesn't seem unreasonable.

Also, not sure how those wheels are mounted, but might be reasonable to put in a wider axle rod and fit it with small bike tires or what have you.

 

[mattc]

The bigger the tires/wheels, the better.
Tiny ones don't like to get up over stairs, logs, rocks, etc.

So you can get a suitable threaded rod at hardware store for very cheap:

Where could you get suitable wheels though?

Spacers and wing nuts shouldn't be hard to get to fasten the wheels on either.

 

[mattc]

Rear lawn mower wheels?

 

[ferretdance03]

I used these wheels on my DIY cart quite successfully. I actually have them on my Zuca All Terrain now so that I don't have to worry about flats.

 

[SpiderWaffle]

I don't notice many thorns here in San Diego, but well see.

I found there's lots of little kids bicycles on Craigslist for cheap. I'll try this first.

Just going to be a bit of a trick to get the right size threaded rod, hopefully home depot as one. Pretty sure the metal pipe on the bottom of these carts can fit at least a 10mm. cross my fingers this all works out.

Cheap, niche option

I traditionally only carry 10-12 discs, so I've never needed anything but a small bag. But I moved to a place that is much warmer and more humid than I'm used to. And I have 2 small boys that like to tag along. So it was always a challenge to carry all the drinks and snacks we all need for a warm round.

I found this at Walmart for $20 on clearance. They sell for $30 normally. I didn't have to do any modifications to the bag or cart itself, which makes it easy to still use it for its intended purpose of packing for a long day at the park, beach, or zoo.

The wheels are some kind of rubber. Not very heavy duty, but a decent size. The frame isn't exactly space-shuttle grade, either. But it's light and as long as the course isn't on a mountainside, it suffices.

I did build a simple box frame from PVC for two reasons. The first is to raise the discs up, since the bag is just one deep opening. (But not as deep as it looks in the pictures. Angles.) The second is to create a sort-of cooler compartment I can access just by moving a few discs. The inside is insulated.

I can fit 18 in the main compartment (mix of drivers, mids, and putters) and 3 putters in the front pouch. The one side can hold an umbrella or stool, and I put my retriever in there. The other side is just a basic mesh pouch you can throw a couple extra bottles, or a birdie bag, mini, whatever.

There are two other zipper pouches. One in the top flap that I just rest against the back of the inside. And one on the back panel.

To make it work as a disc golf cart, I just clip on a bunch of accessories I have lying around. Nalgene coozy, towch, extra towel, maxpedition pouch for my pencils/scorecard/etc.

It's definitely not for hardcore golfers. But for a dad on a budget, it more than handles my needs.
