These are not special golf carts, and they're filled with clubs. The tags have a wheelchair on them not golf clubs. The handicap spots have a space to accommodate a wheelchair and no curbs.

Again, you have no idea what their handicap may be.
Many times, it's quite visible (your wife, for example). Other times, it's not...
Having golf clubs on a cart and being able to walk into a restaurant means nothing as far as a handicap goes...
Someone with severe COPD or heart disease may be able to make that short walk, but not the longer walk from two blocks away...
Now, are there people who abuse the system? Most certainly. But if you think you can identify them in the 20 seconds you see them, you're sadly mistaken...
