Is this good advice?
That previous owner is not correct and hopefully did not hurt youir pack. It is not good for deep cycle batteries to stay in a discharged state. It is really not good for batteries to be too deeply discharged. You could make a case that using the cart to drive 2 minutes does not need to be charged, but anything more than 10 - 15 minutes of pedal time deserves a charge.
