Unfortunately, most times it becomes a game of “chicken”.
The intent of seeing the traffic allows the walkers to avoid the traffic by moving on the grass as a courtesy instead of forcing the golf carts onto the oncoming traffic.
It is especially frustrating and dangerous when traffic is on both sides of the path the walker remains on the pathway forcing the traffic to avoid the walker and onto the oncoming traffic.
If a walker refuses to yield to traffic, than walk on the side with the direction of the traffic.
Then the traffic is required to avoid the walker as the walker strolls merrily down the pathway.

A game of chicken is a childish thought. The thought should always be it is not your job to teach others a lesson. Your job is to see ALL do not get injured. Even the term accident is false. In a car, golf cart, well over 90% of accidents are avoidable. Thus, what we call an accident is a dumb action.
Should be. Walkers should use the sidewalk if there is one. If,there is no sidewalk walkers should walk against the flow of traffic so they can see golf carts and cars coming at them. IN A RUSH?
What do you save. The legal speed for a golf cart is 20 mph otherwise you need plates, insurance and a driver's license.
For too many, HURRY UP AND RELAX.
