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....

No, each cart
DOES NOT get to drive up to their ball "eventually". The third cart gets to
WALK up to his ball, the cart stays in the rough or on the cart path. That 3rd cart has to stay off the fairway for
THE ENTIRE HOLE, not switch off. That's what save wear and tear on the fairways.
