Legally the golf cart has the right of way in your described situation. Since the car slowed down they recognized your ROW and were waiting for you to cross the intersection before turning which means you held up traffic and complicated the situation by slowing down. I don’t blame you for being cautious because we have been cut-off by vehicles turning right in front of our cart. We try to watch the mirror when approaching an intersection and if a car drives up beside us we cover the brake and slow down just in case the car turns right. If the car slows to remain behind us we continue through the intersection without delay. Driving here is much different than most places because of the multi modal path interaction. Better safe than sorry.
