There seems to be more and more of this bad behavior which I believe falls directly on the irresponsibility of adults.
A golf cart is an attraction and you can expect it to draw the attention of youngsters in mischevious ways. Unsupervised use of a golf cart is a tragedy waiting to happen

Ambassadors were clocking out, I would guess. This was past the time of play on the course, it appears. It doesn't matter whether a child is a renters offspring or an owners and there are plenty of young people who drive responsibly and cause no difficulty ever.
However, over the years there has been much VERY EXPENSIVE damage inflicted on golf courses that we have lived on by kids who "borrow" a golf cart from the club and ride it around after hours...... and since we "belonged" to the club, it inevitably fell on all members to pay for the repairs. Tearing up greens amount to thousands of dollars of damage and of course means more to those of us who have been golfers all of our lives and causes our blood pressures to rise.
There are kids who truly are trustworthy and wonderful and reflect their upbringing and others who are just a little too...adventurous to be trusted unwatched with a four wheel vehicle that can harm them, others and cause property damage.
Being a card carrying grandparent, I have always erred on the side of caution.
It is spring break time. Things will calm down soon.
I just hope nobody...and no property gets damaged, the emphasis first on people, kids and us.
AND...Great post Redwitch. Have I told you yet today that you are one smart cookie.
