Why is he even on the path if he can use the street? Worse are the cars who are behind a car turning left and the car behind them swerves over to the cart lane to pass them. People, slow down! I thought this was a retirement community, not a race track.
Maybe someone just got a call from their aging mother that she is sick or needs help. Maybe a friend has fallen down and needs some help. Maybe they got up late and don't want to be late. Maybe they would just rather be where they are going rather than be driving their golf cart.
What's the difference? Sometimes people are in a hurry. Sometimes for a good reason and sometimes for no good reason.
If you're in front of them, just let them pass you. Why is this such a big concern?
