They're quieter so as not to disturb other golfers and environmentally friendly.

Fully charged overnight and I've driven 15.5 miles each way to Lopez, and played 18 holes with side stop at Sumter on the way home. That was a 45-mile day.

I don't bad-mouth gas carts. It's just an individual choice of household.

Why people get so passionate about it is perplexing.

And these courses are not in good enough shape to worry about 1-4 carts on the course. Two carts doesn't speed up play.

"Ready golf" speeds up play and picking up "in the leather" speeds up play.
I agree. As much as I personally would never by an electric golf cart I don't bad mouth those that choose to. Most of the courses here are not in that great of shape anyway and it has nothing to do with the number of carts. Two carts versus four carts definately does not speed up play. If the cart operators observed the rules of fairway traffic there wouldn't have to be an argument as with divot and ball mark repairs and raking of the bunkers.
