I swing wide to give a wide berth to those walkers. That is what some people call being courteous. It's not dangerous if there is no on-coming traffic. If there is traffic, I slow down to let the other carts go by so that the walkers are safe. A MMP path means just that, walkers have every right to be walking on the PATH.
Tell the judge after you hit someone that you did not want to yield to the pedestrian and see where that gets you. You are giving the term "self-entitlement" a whole new meaning.
Very well said!
And as a runner and golf cart owner, I agree 100% and do the same as you.
