Episode 236. Garrett Fraser, FTR Golf's Breakthrough Solar Powered Golf Cart

In this episode the boys sit down with Garrett Fraser of FTR
Golf. A golf pro turned entrepreneur that went through the
Alberta PGM program and has since developed an innovative golf
cart that is produced in Canada and features a solar roof that
charges it's lithium ion batteries. 


Having grown up in Saskatchewan and Alberta, Garrett is very
familiar with the challenges of running a golf course and
maintaining the fleet of golf carts on hand. After having the
insight that there had to be a better solution, Garrett and his
partner Sean Mills set out to understand how to develop a solar
powered golf cart. Their journey lead to a partnership with The
University of Alberta to develop a state-of-the-art technology
that would allow solar panels to power their lithium ion golf
cart batteries. 


Not only are these the most efficient golf carts entering the
market, but they are specifically designed with today's golfer in
mind. 


We dive into how Garrett was introduced to the game of golf
(using cut down Nicklaus Blades to start his journey) and how his
father introduced him to the PGM program where he would go on to
become a golf professional before turning entrepreneur. 


The boys also dive into some wisdom and insights The Great Alan
Riley shared with him (especially the art of rocking the sweater
vest).
