Grow the Game of Golf? Finn Cycles to the Rescue

It’s Ridiculously Fun
Some things take time to grow on you. The Finn Cycle isn’t one of them. As soon as you push the thumb-operated accelerator and the giddy-up jerks your head back you know it’s going to be an extraordinary experience.

In the grand scheme of grow the game initiatives, the vehicles players use on the course have gotten little attention, brain power or investment over the years. 

GolfBoard is a blast, but unless you’re comfy skating or surfing, it’s more than a little challenging and unnerving. 

Golf-based Segways require an entire starter course just to understand the basic movements and have been the cause or more than one parking lot injury or incident. 

However, most of us have an inherent ability to ride a bike, and a motor bike is simply an extension of that innate skill. As soon as you hop on the Finn and accelerate, instinct takes over.

And then there’s the camaraderie … the shared experience. If the choice is to Finn alone or not Finn at all, by all means, Finn. But if you can rustle up a playing partner or two, the fun up-levels exponentially.

Lauren and I channeled our inner “CHiPs” as we buzzed down one fairway after another in our newfound “Finn Formation.” A shared “thumbs-up” was our Finn signal, mixed with an occasional “hang loose.” 

Finns are Fiscally Sound

We interrupt this business to consumer blog post for a brief business to business message: golf course operators, growing the game = growing your revenue. If you charge a $20 cart fee for 18 holes at your golf course, you can charge $25 or $30 for a Finn Cycle. Trust me on this one; and there are fleet lease and purchase options available.

If a golf course owner-operator can shift even a small percentage of annual rounds to Finn Cycles, he or she could conceivably shave a few golf carts off the next lease agreement. E-Z-GO and Club Car representatives, please skip ahead to the next section.
