The Drawback
Sadly, I misplaced (or by no means obtained) an umbrella holder for my push cart. I wanted one thing that was simply hooked up to my cart so I might use a golf umbrella it doesn’t matter what the climate.
The Resolution:
Introducing a flexible Common Golf Cart Umbrella Holder designed for golf carts. This adjustable holder options an umbrella tightening screw and a multi-piece, two-screw clasp for straightforward attachment to any cart, permitting for optimum use in numerous positions.
How I Discovered It:
I stumbled upon this product on Temu however discovered the identical merchandise accessible on Amazon. Priced at a mere $7, there are different choices to select from at totally different value factors. Nevertheless, this appeared to have respectable opinions: 3.4 out of 5 stars on 372 opinions. The identical umbrella holder is bought from different firms and was sixth on Amazon’s “finest sellers” rating for golf umbrella holders. My expectations weren’t excessive. I merely wished a sensible resolution to make use of an umbrella on the golf course. Sadly, I would not have quite a lot of time for full rounds so after I get the possibility, I do, whatever the climate.
The way it works (or didn’t):
As for the Common Golf Cart Umbrella Holder’s efficiency, it does the job. It hooked up seamlessly to my Clicgear cart’s handlebar, due to an extra separator that accommodates totally different bar sizes. The broad umbrella slot and tightening screw ensured each my umbrellas match securely, whereas the angle adjustment allowed me to place the umbrella simply the best way I wished. The ultimate half I did like, once more, was the angle adjustment which allowed me to fold the umbrella holder over for placement into the automotive, permitting me to maintain it on the cart versus having to take away it after every spherical.
That leads me properly into what I didn’t like or just didn’t work for me with the golf umbrella holder. Whereas the holder can connect to most bars and cart elements, it requires extraordinarily tight screws to forestall wobbling or sliding which may be annoying if you wish to take away and reattach it steadily. Moreover, the plastic items the place it attaches to the cart have sharp edges that may be uncomfortable if positioned within the flawed spot.
Moreover, the general construct feels flimsy when utilizing the umbrella, even on flat programs. I discovered myself holding the umbrella stem to forestall extreme motion, fearing it’d break. Whereas it has not snapped off but, I doubt its long-term sturdiness.
Backside Line:
You’ll find this identical umbrella holder on numerous Amazon adverts with opinions starting from three to 4 stars. For my part, that’s fairly beneficiant. The umbrella holder serves its primary objective by accommodating totally different umbrellas and permitting changes but it surely feels low cost, reflecting its low value. Lengthy-term sturdiness is questionable and the presence of sharp edges makes cautious placement crucial.
In the long run, I’ll be trying to improve and buy a extra steady umbrella holder with a better on/off system for future rounds.
