Every so often, we sense that a person on the MMP thinks they have the right-of-way, so we honk at them and keep honking until we are well past them. We have never hit a golf cart, at least so far.

I generally agree. We have a newer cart that we use from time to time, but not daily. Unless we just want to go for a ride on a nice day or evening or have some other good reason, it is a waste of time (in my view) for any distant drives. I value my time, and do not wish to spend it driving a golf cart. Also, I do not think the MM paths are necessarily safer than the streets. With competing traffic on foot, bike, electric bike, other carts that are often oblivious to speed limits, and drivers who are often as bad as any on the streets, the MM paths can be treacherous to drive on.
