cover/ story THE MEN BEHIND Golf Carts Modified  Meet the Owners of Golf Carts Modified, LLC, (www.golfcartsmodified.com) and the Ad- mins of Golf Carts Modified Facebook Group and Golf Carts Modified Build-Off 2019 Travis Andrews: Georgia Cory Shane Osteen: South Carolina Ryan O’Rear: Texas/ Louisiana Cory and I (Travis Andrews) have been building and customizing vehicles since high school. Cory worked at Mr. Scrape Customs in Sumter, SC for many years. One day Cory called me up and said “let’s build a golf cart on 30” rims”. From that moment we both started learning more about golf carts and how to make this lift kit work. During the re- search, Cory discovered Golf Carts Modified on Facebook and joined the group. That is where Cory first met Ryan. Ryan had a background in golf carts and has been building and customizing his personally owned carts for years. After a few months of posting pics of his projects and helping other users, Ryan invited Cory to become an admin on the Facebook page. A few months after that Ryan approached Cory about having a nationwide build off where the members of Golf Carts Modified could show off their work. Those guys then started working on turning that dream into a reality and that is where I come into play. With a background in engineering and computer tech, they contacted me to see if I wanted to assist with the technical side of the page and if I wanted to enter the build off myself. The three of us instantly recognized how well we work together and the passion that we all have for improving the quality of builds and parts in the modified golf cart industry. That is how the busi- ness was formed. Our goal every day is to help our members build the coolest stuff the modified golf cart industry has ever seen.
