According to google AI:
Yes, a valid disability placard can be used to park a golf cart in a handicap space in Florida. Golf carts are treated the same as other vehicles for handicap parking. The placard should be displayed on the golf cart, either on the rear-view mirror or secured to the cart. Parking without a placard could result in a ticket.
I used to think that way until I got to the point where going out or even getting around the house without my cane is out of the question. I still try to keep spaces open when I can for the people with conditions worse than mine. There are many that abuse it, that's for sure. But the wheelchair requirement is a bit extreme, I hope (assuming) you stay healthy and can be mobile without assistance.
