This very question came up recently at the golf cart safe driving school a few weeks ago. The Sumter County Deputy Sheriff answered it this way: Obviously a car should not intentionally cut off a golf cart. But what is important is that the car make its intentions known so as not to make the driver of the golf cart wonder what is about to happen. The deputy sheriff recommended that prior to making a right turn the car should safely merge into the golf cart lane prior to turning right. In this way the car will prevent the golf cart from attempting to pass on the right or from entering its blind spot as the car slows to make its turn.
