I agree with you ! I "got it" when the big G. Book record was done years ago as a charity event, but in general, just thousands of seniors (who can take pleasure drives in their carts most any day or evening) intentionally joining in such a long line of carts.... well, seems a lot of wasted electric power and gasoline for something that surely is not exceptionally pleasurable to most people. But then, the old "to each their own" applies. I know there is an equal number of individuals who can not understand wasting half a day or more tying to hit a tiny ball into a far off hole, or why people find it satisfying to just go and stand in a swimming pool ! To me the most concerning element of golf cart "parades" is the possible impact they could have on traffic, and or, could create emergencies and/or delay emergency vehicles when seconds often make a difference, but overall, "if that's what floats one's boat" as satisfying recreation, then go for it.
