Here's the thing: golf carts can't be registered. Handicap tags issued by the motor vehicle department are supposed to be used on registered vehicles. An LSV can be registered, so if your golf cart is street legal, then you can use the tag on it and park there. I don't know of anyone who actually honors this law, and I don't know of anyone issued a citation for violating it.

Possibly, if someone had a handicap tag hanging from their unregistered non-street legal golf cart, and was parked in a handicap parking space, and they got into an accident while in the parking space, they'd probably be issued a citation for parking where they weren't supposed to be, and the insurance companies would consider them at fault for the accident. That's a stretch, but I'm sure it's possible.
