I am always a single, so I have run into this a couple of times. The first time, I was teamed up with three players. When I was told to leave my cart and put my clubs on the stranger's cart I refused. We played 19 holes (Hacienda) with three carts and no complaints. The second time I played Hacienda, the starter insisted I ride with the single in a threesome I was joined with. The guy was a cigar smoker and had a terrible cough. Sure enough, I caught a cold and was sick for a week. Not good. The optics of four carts at the tee or green is not good, but does that really hurt the fairways? A cart has to drive up to each ball eventually. The 90-degree rule is a good way of preventing everyone driving onto the fairway at the same spot, leaving a worn path....
