I wonder if 4 people in 4 carts really put that much more wear and tear on the grass than 4 people in 2 carts, when you consider all of the back and forth that happens when one player hits it left, and the cart partner hits it right, and the cart is going back and forth across the fairway, as opposed to using two different carts, and each player heading straight for his own ball, hopefully staying on the cart path and rough as long as possible.
You could actually do a scientific experiment using an exercise type app like “Map my ride” which when done with Golf and used in each golf cart, would track and show exactly your location movements through the whole round.
The next time you play, do it with two people in a cart and see the difference.
