I had the same problem. While I have a compressor, I find it easier to use my bicycle hand pump. The chuck, since it is designed to lock onto the stem and most not only fit the Schrader valves, used on cars and golf carts but the presta valves used on some bikes. The bigger chuck is hard to use on fancy wheels on some, most golf carts.
The solution is simple and inexpensive. Buy valve stem extenders. Like $6.00 for four.
You thread it onto the typical short stems on golf carts and it is easy to fill the tire or check the pressure. I remove them as I do not want people stealing them.
A gauge that doesn't seal, first of all will not give you a proper reading and besides the air that leaks out will drop the pressure in the tire. You will need to pump it up.
