Golfer uses umbrella as a sail for wind-powered golf buggy: video

As golf courses strive to become greener, this golfer has found an ingenious way of propelling his golf buggy with wind power.

The guys at Chatswood Golf Club in Sydney aren’t afraid to get a little goofy on their Instagram account. So it’s not surprising that as wind speeds got up to 90kph last Friday they decided to show off their new range of renewable energy golf buggies.

We’ve featured some of the stuff from Chatswood Golf Club Instagram before, such as this fine coffee golf trick shot, a fox taking off with a golf ball and the answer to how your golf ball ends up in the pro shop. Entertaining stuff and well worth a follow.

Tired of walking around our hilly layout but don’t want to fork out for an electric drive cart? Well here at Chatswood Golf Club for just $5.00 you can hire one of our Renewable Energy Buggies and set sail! Save your legs and feel good about doing your bit to save the planet! 🌎 👣 🏌️💨 👍 #chatswoodgolf #renewableenergy #carbonfootprint #marypoppinsgolf #downwindgolf #thirdwheel
