June 19, 1910, marks the very first Father's Day, which was celebrated in Spokane, Washington. It took until 1966 for President Lyndon B. Johnson to make it official with a signed presidential proclamation. The third Sunday of June is Father's Day.

I think in order to make it remote control it will need some more gear on it. I would sugguest finding two matching wheelchair motors, a full function radio control car and a 6volt lead-acid battery. Fasten a long metal tube with a swivel wheel on the end of it to the side of the caddy so that the caddy will be stable with all 3 wheels touching the ground. Now you'll need to install the two motors in the bottom of the caddy so that they drive the two wheels. Now make yourself a 3 way switch by gutting the steering mechanism of the car and fasten a wire to the driven componant (the bit that moves) then set it up so that when you push left on the controller the wire touches the negative terminal on the right motor and vice versa. Also have one in the middle that touches the negative terminals of two diodes. solder wires from the outer terminals to the positive end of the diodes. Great... now just attach the motors and 3way switch in place of the car's existing motor using big H-bridges or similar isolating transistors... don't forget to put a load in series with whatever you use or you'll blow the circuitry in the car.
Great! Now it's a Remote Control Caddy
