VIDEO: Caterpillar Puts a Golf Course on Wheels

Watch two Japanese golf pros tackle a course made entirely of moving heavy equipment in the latest edition of the Cat #BuiltForIt Trials

June 17, 2015

Watch two Japanese golf pros tackle a course made entirely of moving heavy equipment in the latest edition of the Cat #BuiltForIt Trials. Twin sisters Erimo and Marimo Ikeuchi—members of the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) of Japan — take their best shots at this one-of-a-kind course. Five Cat machines—a 772G, 775G and 793F Off-Highway Truck, 982M Wheel Loader, and CT660 On-Highway Truck —make up the fairway, the hazards and the green. The result is a golf course unlike any these two pro golfers have ever attempted.
