12/14/21 • 58 min
Sloan Whitaker is one of the owners of BA Carts in Van Wert, Ohio. He wouldn't call himself the king of custom golf carts, but I've seen his work and it would be hard to top. We discuss:
- How Sloan got into the golf cart business
- Lessons learned
- Early marketing attempts
- Where his business sources their used golf carts
- The golf cart restoration process
- Sloan's favorite custom builds
- Sloan's golf simulator
This episode features our second installment of Caddie Corner, a segment featuring Big G of the Real Life Caddie Podcast.
