His reasoning is you won't run down a golf cart that's going straight if you're in the diamond lane when you make your turn. My feeling is a car should never be in the diamond lane, and you should be stopped and looking to make sure no golf cart is coming before turning.
But I could be wrong.

Well, you must be talking me.... I believe it's much safer for a car to merge into the cart/bicycle lane to make a right turn. No different than a cart merging into the traffic lane to make a left turn. At least, this way, the cart knows your intentions. It also helps to use the turn signal once in a while.
