A very cheap, easy solution to this problem is to buy a used smartphone (often can be found for $10-15), get a good speedometer app, and your speed will be dead accurate from the GPS system. The app I got also shows direction, odometer, trip meter, and time of day. There are cell phone mounts for golf carts on Amazon and Ebay that are cheap. I probably get 10 trips to a charge.
