Do we have to be able to golf?

Maybe this isn't such a bad idea, it just needs to be phrased better: A self-propelled device capable of hauling all four team members and four bags of golf clubs (plus their drinks) around a windy three mile (18 hole) course- All without damaging the pressure-sensitive (expensive) turf. The challenge is to build an environmentally low-impact vehicle capable of hauling some serious tonnage over a respectable distance without leaving great big deep tracks in its wake. Now that's a worthy challenge!

Did it, it was human powered, all- terrain, amphibous and did not leave any tracks on the greens with ATV tires. Not only did we play 18 holes with it but we peddled it through a 7 mile sand trap, 2 miles of Humboldt Bay, a river and a huge mud bog. It weighed 400 lbs.

I am beyond coherent response after that, Ken. Art Attack are as gods to me. Just one question: Will (has) Art Attack produce a book cataloging your wonderful inventions?
