About Golf Skate Caddy
Golf Skate Caddy is designed to increase the enjoyment of golf, provide better golfer body fitness and to lower golf scores. Golf Skate Caddy allows a golfer to go directly to their golf ball, allowing more time for a golfer to focus on their own shot. Golf Skate Caddy has an advantage over a sitting golf cart, when it comes to keeping core muscles warm for higher performance levels and lower scores. Sitting in a golf cart in-between golf shots is detrimental to the game of golf. Champions Tour Players are allowed to use sitting golf carts, but most of them walk to keep core muscles warm. Sitting in a golf cart between shots, would put them at a disadvantage over the competitors who are more supple and ready to perform. Keep the legs, back and body moving on a Golf Skate Caddy, and enjoy better fitness and a lower golf score. Golf Skate Caddy is good for the game of Golf, and great for the Golf Facility.
