I look at this from a "reality" perspective. If you stop, and they DON'T move over, then they'll have to climb over your golf cart in order to get past you. If you don't stop, and they DON'T move over, you'll run them over.
So it's really up to them to move over. There's no reason pedestrians NEED to walk three abreast on a two-lane MMP.
In my neighborhood we have neighbors who congregate in the middle of the road to chit-chat. It's a small road that doesn't get much traffic since it doesn't lead anywhere other than - into the neighborhood, and back out again. It's not a "thru-way."
When that happens, if I want to get past them with a vehicle I beep my horn and yell at them "get a job!" and we all laugh and they move out of the way. After I pass them they move right back into the middle of the road. I love my neighborhood!
