Golf Cart as Think Tank
Dan Morse writes in The Washington Post about golf carts used for various NON-golf purposes.

For residents on the outskirts of Washington, using a golf cart doesn’t necessarily mean playing golf. Marty Scanlon, for one, appreciates his cart foremost as a piece of furniture.
Ron Altman and Paul Curtis are neighbors in the Asbury Retirement Community on the Patuxent River in Solomons, Md. They are two examples of the growing number of people buying golf carts for anything but golfing.
“When we’re together,” the 45-year-old says, sitting on his cart next to his buddies, “this garage exudes knowledge.”
Parked next to him is a neighbor who recently pulled into Scanlon’s garage on his own cart. They face a TV, watching football highlights, smoking cigars and drinking beer. Conversation veers from politics to pontoon boats to cheese dip.
“It’s a think tank,” said Rick Rickson, 44, lifting a cup of Bud Light out of his drink holder.
