You are right. There is no need for seatbelts while on the golf course (well, assuming the driver knows how to deal with hills). But most cart use here is NOT on the golf course, and it is done at relatively high speeds, given the vehicle, and there are a lot of 90° turns. If a cart tips over or there is a collision, seatbelts can be lifesavers. In an accident, one frequent disaster is passengers being thrown from the cart to the ground. Passengers also sometimes fall out when the cart makes a left turn. INSIST on seatbelts, and use them. If you use them in your car, you need them on your cart. They don’t cost much.
