• a housing configured to be mounted to a powered golf cart which is configured to seat at least two occupants;
• a rotatable fan received by the housing and configured to be electrically powered from electricity provided by the golf cart, the fan being at least partially received within the housing;
• a heat generator received by the housing downstream of the fan and at least partially within the housing, the fan being in fluid communication with the heat generator to drive air over the heat generator within the housing;
• at least two air outlets on the housing downstream of the heat generator and from which heated air is expelled from the housing;
• and
• at least two heated air conduits connected with respective of the at least two air outlets, the two heated air conduits being of sufficient length and configured to extend to respective portions of two golf bags received by the golf cart in addition to the housing when the housing is mounted to the golf cart.

• providing a golf grip heating apparatus on a powered golf cart which is configured to seat at least two occupants, the golf grip heating apparatus comprising a rotatable fan received by a housing and configured to be electrically powered from electricity provided by the golf cart;
• a heat generator received by the housing downstream of the fan, the fan being in fluid communication with the heat generator to drive air over the heat generator within the housing;
• at least one air outlet on the housing downstream of the heat generator and from which heated air is expelled from the housing;
• driving air with the fan over the heat generator effective to increase temperature of the air;
• and
• directing the air of increased temperature to an internal portion of at least one golf bag received by the golf cart in addition to the housing for a time period effective to heat grips of golf clubs received by the golf bag, the housing of the golf grip heating apparatus being separate from the golf bag.
