Yah, I see it too...
Too much tongue weight.
Properly loaded trailer should target 10% of the load on the tongue, no more than 20% of trailer GVW.
This trailer has the axle too far back; likely 50% of trailer weight is on the tongue. This will affect steering, as it takes weight off of the front axle on the golf cart.
