I initially thought they would be useful for tracking a stolen golf cart. However, Apple is apparently so worried about people being tracked/stalked without their knowledge that they have killed that usefulness. (If a tag is traveling with/near an iPhone OTHER THAN the owner's for some period of time it beeps or something to notify that person there is a tag nearby. If your cart is stolen by an iPhone user this would let him or her know that the cart is being tracked and I doubt it would take them long to find the tag and toss it in a pond or something.)

That's a shame because I am more worried about my cart (or my purse/wallet/etc.) being stolen than being lost, as I believe the former is more likely to occur than the latter.
