Golf Etiquette: Things you should never do with a golf cart

Find below a couple reminders of things you should never do in a golf cart:

Never drive the cart within hazard boundary lines, or within about 10 yards of water hazards or bunkers, or within about 50 yards of greens (unless you're on a designated cart path, of course). These areas are especially susceptible to damage by the wheels of golf carts. Never drive onto or close to tee boxes, either, unless on the cart path.

Never drive the cart through mud, on or off the fairway.

Never drive through casual water on any part of the golf course (unless it's a little bit of water over a paved cart path). The wheels of the cart can do serious damage to the turf, including leaving ruts, in wet areas.

Never go joyriding in the golf cart. In other words, don't act stupid! People do get injured in cart accidents.

There is also some other rules related to golf carts:
  • Cart Path Only
  • 90-Degree Rule In Effect (see my previous article)
  • Cart Path Only on Holes X and X
  • No Carts Beyond This Point

Keep Golfing!
