During the Covid period using 4 carts on average spread up our round by 8 to 10 minutes which cut down the jack jawing of double occupied carts.

An accident did happen to a friend who had to ride w an elderly golfer when he rode up on a hill, turned & slid into sand trap. The cart was on its side. The elderly man was injured, & my friend’s ankle was severely bruised.
