Default I know why they might be cursing at you

Let me first say that I totally agree with you and I see the potential problem with inconsistently following of this law.

That being said, might I suggest that you shake your head "no thanks" when they wave you on? If you wave it is a commonly accepted gesture of thank you and the car is then expecting you to proceed in your cart. You don't proceed (for good reason) and then the car driver thinks you are being a jerk or playing a game....hence the cursing.

Second I think that they should give each renter/visitor/new resident a short mandatory course in golf cart rules and automobile roundabouts to help set the tone from the beginning. It could be on video and not cost a penny. We have videos at work that you must watch to completion and cannot fast forward, to ensure it is watched.
