MY point...it was dark, it was night and these kids were definately horsing around coming out of a tunnel and we HAD NO idea (emphasis added, not shouting) that they were headed our way. The approach to the tunnel is a blind corner and they came around the corner out of the tunnel and nearly hit us head-on. It was frightening! They were whooping and hollering and it wasn't funny to us! I didn't have my phone otherwise would have called 911.
I realize that grown-ups, plenty times, screw up here---I get that! Folks, if your grandkids are down here by all means have fun and enjoy your time. BUT if you allow them to use your carts and they have an accident are you willing to also suffer the reprocussions?? A head-on golf-cart accident in the dark, going the speed that they were could have been fatal!!
