Celebrates 60th anniversary with special edition Carryall 500 Woody Wagon
SAN ANTONIO (Feb. 6, 2018) – Club Car®, a global leader in golf and utility vehicles and a brand of Ingersoll Rand®, is launching Tempo ConnectTM, a stylish new golf car with enhanced technology including Visage Fleet Management at Club Car’s Booth # 19076 at the 2018 GIS Show Feb. 7-8. And in celebration of its 60th anniversary, Club Car will auction off a one-of-a-kind, Special Edition Carryall 500 Woody Wagon to benefit the Environmental Institute for Golf.
Tempo Connect’s enhanced ride is designed with automotive styling and connected technology. Club Car’s proven engineering, industry-leading durability and reliable comfort are evident with a new sleek front cowl, rust-proof aluminum frame, new alloy wheels, premium comfort seats and a spacious dashboard.
“This is a milestone year for Club Car as we celebrate 60 years in the industry. We are pushing the limits of our offerings beyond the car by integrating new technology, content connectivity, and customization to help course operators improve their operations, add value and manage their business,” said Mark Wagner, president of Club Car. “Tempo Connect and the Carryall 500 represent our team’s ability to design vehicles that increase productivity and reduce carbon footprint, all with a lower cost of operation than traditional work vehicles.”
The new Tempo Connect is the first golf car that includes both Visage, an industry-leading connectivity platform for golf operators, and Shark Experience. Visage simplifies operations, controls costs and maximizes course efficiencies while the Shark Experience, in partnership with Greg Norman Company and Verizon, allows Club Car to deliver a premier in-car course entertainment system exclusive to Club Car.
To celebrate its 60th anniversary Club Car has also built a versatile Special Edition Woody Carryall 500, a maneuverable, nostalgic workhorse. The Woody Carryall 500 features classic 50’s styling with custom green paint, retro wheels and a natural wood stake side kit, while its versatility allows for easy and convenient tool attachments.

About Tempo Connect
Tempo Connect also includes a standard built-in, high-definition touchscreen display and built-in speakers with Bluetooth connectivity that includes an electronic scorecard, 3D flyovers, hole overviews and a rangefinder, as well as GPS Zone messaging system and much more.
Tempo Connect features Visage Fleet Management with integrated car and course controls for golf course operators and their staff to monitor fleet performance from anywhere. Golf course operators can track their entire fleet and even spot slow groups before they affect pace of play. Plus, Visage Fleet Management can prevent golf cars from driving on tees and greens to reduce maintenance cost and time, and increase productivity of maintenance staff.
The Shark Experience allows Club Car to deliver the premier in-car course entertainment system, exclusive to the new Tempo Connect golf car. Shark Experience engages golfers in a modern, fun and social way so they can enjoy live sports, music, Greg Norman golf tips, dynamic yardage information and more for an all-in-one entertainment experience.
