Golf cart catches fire and explodes
Next time you are trying to decide if you walk a golf course or get a cart, consider this story.
An Arkansas golfer noticed his golf cart not working properly as he played the 7th hole last week. When he was checking out the problem, the battery operated golf cart caught fire, and exploded. The golfer burnt his hand attempting to rescue his golf clubs from the fire.
The fire incinerated the golf cart leaving all but the frame behind. The fire spread to the surrounding grass and burnt half an acre of fairway before local firefighters put out the blaze.
