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.
I agree. I'd like to see a study as to how many miles a cart puts on with two players in it versus two carts with one player each. I'll bet the difference would be minimal, especially if the 90 degree rule was adhered to.
