Default Lightning and Golf Carts

I read the article this morning about golf course safety when lightning approaches during the sudden storms we get during the summer. Many times we see a storm approaching (and you dont have to be on a golf course) and we try and make it home before the storm hits. My question is if you get caught in a lightning storm are you safe in a golf cart since you have rubber (tires) on the ground?? I know as the news article stated, you should immediately take cover stay away from trees and all metal but is a Golf Cart grounded like a car?
