Everyone knows the rules about drinking and driving on a roadway, it's the gray areas that cause confusion.

While at the square if you stand near your cart while drinking a beer = NO ticket.

While driving your golf cart on the golf course and drinking a beer = NO ticket.

Tickets like the OP was given are only given at SS and not at LSL, although the OP didn't mention what square was involved.

Selling liquor from the walk-up bars located on the the squares can add to the confusion. Signs could be attached to some of the poles at the squares stating "the consumption of alcohol while sitting in your parked cart will result in a fine".
