With the popularity of cell phones today, you’d be hard pressed to find a golfer who doesn’t have one. What used to be a luxury a few years ago has now become an everyday accessory as common as your key chain and purse or wallet.
Everybody has one, from young to old and everywhere you look, people are talking on their cell phones. We have become easily accessible by anyone no matter where we are and that’s why cell phone holders have become such a popular golf cart accessory.
Keep Your Calls to Yourself
Do cell phones belong on the golf course? Many say no because a cell phone ringing in someone’s back swing is the quickest way to find a ball in a hazard. Talking on your phone can also distract other golfers and could mean the difference between an eagle and a birdie.
Many golfers consider a ringing cell phone, as well as talking on the phone, rude and would rather you kept your phone at home. If cell phone use is considered rude, however, then why are cell phone holders sold as a golf cart accessory?
Set to Vibrate
Cell phone holders are sold as a golf cart accessory because the makers of such products understand that just because you’re golfing doesn’t mean you can’t be reached. Cell phones don’t have to ring as many cell phones have a vibrating option that can alert you without alerting everyone else.
In addition, many cell phones are text message ready. A text message can often be a great substitute for talking to someone. It doesn’t bother anyone else and it can be returned at the other person’s convenience.
Unlimited Text Messaging
Many cell phone plans include unlimited text messaging as part of their plan options. With unlimited text messaging, you won’t have to worry about going over your plan as you would if you were talking on it constantly. You will save money and you will prevent from disturbing other golfers who might not care to hear your conversation.
A cell phone holder is a great golf cart accessory provided you make the necessary changes so as not to disturb other golfers. Put your cell phone on vibrate or silent. If you’re afraid of missing a call, just check it every now and again. Most cell phones will tell you if you missed a call.
Also, use text messaging instead of talking whenever possible. These changes aren’t all that inconvenient and by making them, most fellow golfers won’t mind you having a cell phone holder as a golf cart accessory. They might even thank you for being so polite and for not distracting their game.
