I pass so many carts daily it's impossible for me to look at the person passing, make eye contact and wave. It's far more important to pay attention to the road and traffic. For me it has nothing to do with being friendly and everything to do with vigilance. Too many people are distracted in carts and don't realize how many distracted people have died in cart accidents.

I experience friendliness every time I pull off the golf cart path to do something (cell phone call) and I'm repeatedly asked if I need help; I'm grateful for their kindness in asking and it's one of the many things that make me happy to be living in TV.
