seeming to want us to proceed through the intersection before it. We slow thinking, we not knowing the correct procedure and not wanting to encounter a large object, let the car pass. The driver of the car following the car we let turn in front of us, is upset. Did we error in our thinking? My thought is, "Defensive driving, especially in a golf cart". What's the right thing to do?

My view-the term accident is at best incorrect. Most accidents can be avoided so in many cases the proper term is a stupid act. As to the proper rules. Assuming that the other person knows the rules and will follow them is a reach. In a golf cart, an unlicensed vehicle in almost all cases the car has the right of way.
As far as some driver being annoyed. "The driver following the car we let turn in front of us, is upset." I am not sure of your whole story and I don't know you or the upset driver but I expect the upset driver is of the type who will shortly find something else to be upset about
