Golf carts

Golf carts are a convenience, a luxury even, and should not be used to annoy or distract other players. The cart should be parked behind or beside the tee, but never in front of it. Carts should normally stay only on the paths, and are required to do so on many courses. When a golfer gets out to walk to the ball, he or she should take a few extra clubs along to save an extra trip should a different club be needed, thereby keeping the pace of play moving along.

Should carts be permitted off the paths, golfers should observe the "90 degree rule": make a 90 degree turn off the path towards the fairway to a given ball, and return straight back to the path, not along the path of greatest convenience. Carts inflict wear and tear on the course, and can be accidentally driven over another player's ball. Golfers should keep the noise of backing up to a minimum and must always set the brake when leaving the cart.
