That's very possible; at $15 grand a pop (and a golf bag holder is a $245 option--yowza!), I can't see a golf course, even a fancy resort, shelling out for a fleet of these.

Guess great minds think alike. :keetaC:
I had e-mailed luxurycarts and asked about golf courses that carry their carts. They e-mailed me back and said that all their sales are to individuals around the world. I found these 2 places in Vegas also carried the Lucerne but they didn't e-mail me back.

So the question becomes: Who made the pitch? Who suggested the placement? Did PartyBike and LuxuryCarts approach WRP, or was it the other way around? I'm not an expert in the business, but I'm guessing the answer is somewhere in the middle; in other words, there are staffers at CBS that go out and collect these deals and then "suggest" to producers that they include placements. Here's a quote from Les Moonves, mid-race, about how enthusiastic he is on placements:
--- Quote ---“We’re making more and more of those deals: The kind of cars they drive in CSI; the kind of orange juice they drink in Two and a Half Men.”

This is strange, but if the pattern holds as it has in the past, then the pitstop at Billings, Montana will be ANOTHER NONELIMINATION LEG!!!! This is based on the fact that there was no mention of another TAR castoff family appearance on The Early Show this week. The weekly plug was for George Cluney (again) and the latest Survivor castoff.
But this could make sense and explain why we had reports of four teams flying on Air Canada on July 30 from Toronto to Montreal. Montreal or Toronto could be the pit stop for leg 11 with the elimination of the fourth team in the first hour on Dec. 13. That would leave the traditional three teams to continue during the second hour to Niagara Falls and the Final Mat in Davis State Park in New York.

I noticed that too Gman but we have this article ~
The $1-million prize for "The Amazing Race" contestants is two weeks away. CBS will reveal the winner in a two-hour broadcast Dec. 13 says Lori DelliColli, the publicist for the show.
One team will be eliminated Tuesday, with three advancing to the finale the following week, DelliColli says.
