Golf Cart Sharing

[dewilson58]

The new policy appears to be more restrictive than before COVID.

The exceptions (as I have heard):
=> Different reservation
=> Smoker
=> Sick
=> Only two golfers in group.

Some starters are very open and communicative, others jus point to the sign.

What have you heard??

[UpNorth]

So, if I walk up to the starter shack with a big cigar, I get to ride alone in my cart?

[dewilson58]

Not exactly..................My understanding, another golfer can object riding with you and your big cigar.

[DonH57]

I guess if you really want to take up smoking them that's the way to go or just eat deviled eggs, beans and beer for dinner the night before!:faint:

Can I refuse to share a ride in a golf cart with a political sticker attached ?

[justjim]

I assume the policy is for both Championship and Executive courses. How about an executive course that is all par 3’s? What about handicap carts can they still park 30’ from the green? Since we maintain as property owners the executive courses and it’s still a “free America” don’t we have a say in this policy. Guess not…

[dewilson58]

Can I refuse to share a ride in a golf cart with a political sticker attached ?

Hoping there is a starter/ambass on this site and can fill us all in on the exceptions.

Can I refuse to share a ride in a golf cart with a political sticker attached ? if your sticker is BLUE I’m sure you could ride alone ,there are not many of us here .

So, instead of booking a foursome our group can book a threesome and then have the fourth add their name to the open spot with a different reservation number.

The above list needs to include an exception for electric carts. I’ll never get in one of those things again after the guy who insisted on driving golf cart died in the middle of the back 9.

Who determines which of the solo riders in one of the golf carts can’t drive on the fairway. Is is the person smoking, or the person who doesn’t want to ride with the smoker?

Who determines is a golfer is sick, if sick why are they golfing, what constitutes sick?

This could prove interesting.

[dewilson58]

.

Usually, the two singles jus ham 'n egg who is on the fairway.

I guess if the two singles are not cooperating......it would the the one who refused to share.

[Topspinmo]

Funny how golf has all these rules which are ignored by majority.

:gc:

Both singles offer to drive and neither accepts, which one is refusing to share?

Someone is smoking and coughing up a lung and the other doesn’t want to ride with them, does that constitute refusing to share?

Agree about the ham and eggs thing, whoever is farthest from the cart path at any given time should get fairway access.

Wondering which is worse for the course, three carts using fairway or one golfer not having access to sand bottle (assuming they would use it)?

And then there is the whole pace of play thing when someone has to keep walking back and forth for a different club and/or sand bottle.

[dewilson58]

(1)Both singles offer to drive and neither accepts, which one is refusing to share?

(2) Someone is smoking and coughing up a lung and the other doesn’t want to ride with them, does that constitute refusing to share?


There's probably 50 random examples, have not seen them all, the Ambass probably have.

(1) If one does not offer or If they don't ham 'n egg, play can be refused.

(2) Same as #1..............the children need to decide or the children need to go home.

...........right next to fixing divits/repairing ball marks and raking bunkers.

People seem to have forgotten that this rule of 2 carts per 4 players was the way of life BEFORE Covid. We all grew up playing golf before 2020 with this practice not being a problem, but all of a sudden it is now a problem????? I guess it's true, as you age you tend to have selective memory loss.

Actually it's not selective memory.................before COVID the "rule" might have been 2 per 4, but if you wanted a third cart in a foursome, no big deal.....it was okay.

That's way I say, "The new policy appears to be more restrictive than before COVID".
Three, even four, carts per foursome was allowed pre COVID......just not many did it.

[charmed59]

If you are on the same reservation then isn’t it assumed you know who you are playing with? Why wouldn’t you share a cart unless they are sick or smoking?

[Papa_lecki]

If you are on the same reservation then isn’t it assumed you know who you are playing with? Why wouldn’t you share a cart unless they are sick or smoking?

Personally, I have all my golf stuff in my cart, range finder, repair tool, extra balls, etc.
I’ve moved into another cart, and always seem to forget something.

[alwann]

Here's another quirk. Four players. One plays blue tees, two play white and one plays green tees. Two carts. Tee off, move forward. Tee off, move forward. Tee off, move forward. Then the ambassador says your group is running slow. Well, yeah. Why duh ya think that is? Three carts can play at a quicker pace.

Can I pile on????..................We had this happen, but I will use your example.
The blue tee golfer's cart was the first in line.
After blue teed off, the white tee golfer drove around the blue cart, part way on the grass.
The Ambass informed us, all carts must stay on the path at tee boxes.
So the Ambass wanted us to all stay in line and only move up as a group.

Or I choose not to return to the actual rules, and act like a child throwing a fit. :1rotfl:Last year the change back to 2 carts was to return, but too many tantrums, so they are trying again this year.

We'll all see soon pace of play will only slow down and the conditions of the courses won't get better. But that's ok.

[Bogie Shooter]

If you are on the same reservation then isn’t it assumed you know who you are playing with? Why wouldn’t you share a cart unless they are sick or smoking?

Consider….
I make a reservation for myself and two others….a threesome. Open tee time that a stranger grabs and shows up to join the foursome. You wouldn’t know a thing about the newcomer.
Are you a golfer?

[MSchad]

Seriously, we all shared carts before. So what is the big problem now? How many of you golf anywhere other than in the bubble that allow each golfer their own cart? These changes are to save wear and tear on the courses. You gripe about conditions but don’t want to do what you can the prevent damage.

[MSchad]

Personally I put that all in my bag so I don’t forget any of it. I also check the cart after a transfer back. No problem.

[kcrazorbackfan]

I have to take work related calls (and no, I don’t hinder the group I’m playing with) that have to be taken in private so I always tell the starter why I have to take a single cart and that I will always stay on the path or rough; never been an issue with any starter or ambassador.

Phones on golf course are the biggest etiquette violation

a) We were not required to share prior to COVID. As long as no more than 2 carts in the fairway, three carts were fine.

b) Outside the bubble, if you are willing to pay for the extra single cart.....most places don't care.

c) "Save W&T" is BS. Significantly less turning.......which damages the grass. Drivers damage fairways, not carts.

[dewilson58]

Appreciate all the OPINIONS,

But

Was hoping to hear facts of the new policy and exceptions.

:gc:

[MrChip72]

As a lefty golfer, this is a nightmare policy for me. It ends up slowing down the game badly when you have a righty and lefty in the same cart unless they're really good golfers, which most of us are not.

[Federspiel]

Thank God I know longer golf!

[Topgun 1776]

Phones on golf course are the biggest etiquette violation
Do you even play golf? Where did you get that from? Do you own a cell phone? So, you communicate by pager? Yours is a ridiculous statement. I have never seen anyone holding up play because of cell phone use. Of all the things that slow up play or create etiquette issues...cell phone use has to be near or on the bottom.

[guitarguy]

I can only speak for championship courses but golf carts damage the grass. Our grasses grow very little, if at all, in the winter. The greens and fairways are painted to look green because Bermuda turns brown when dormant.
Will the same people who complain about this attempt to maintain course quality also later complain about course conditions?
Please do some research about this at courses not just here, but everywhere.

[Mrmean58]

Hoping there is a starter/ambass on this site and can fill us all in on the exceptions.
Executive courses with a continuous cart path will be allow to have up to 4 carts. All carts must remain on the cart path with exception of those using a SOLO rider or with an approved reasonable accommodations passes.
Champ courses, only exception will be those using a SOLO rider, those that are dependent on medical equipment such as an oxygen tank. When a third cart exception is granted for one of those reasons, one cart must remain on the cart path or in the rough for the entire round. A fourth cart will not be permitted just like pre COVID.
Bottom line is if you want to drive to your ball where permitted, pair up with someone in you reservation.

[drcar]

The new policy appears to be more restrictive than before COVID.

The exceptions (as I have heard):
=> Different reservation
=> Smoker
=> Sick

What have you heard??

Fact: If you are the same reservation, two carts!
Fact: smoker, see fact one
Fact: Sick, see fact one

Doesn't APPLY 2 carts

Three, even four, carts per foursome was allowed pre COVID......just not many did it.
Sorry to correct but a fourth cart was ONLY permitted when COVID hit, never before and the policy for a third cart was they had to remain on the path or in the rough when there was no path.

[drcar]

in this case 3 carts NOT the same reservation

[drcar]

I am waiting for the standard answer, we will just play outside the villages, WELL guess what 2 CARTS

[Mrmean58]

Personally, I have all my golf stuff in my cart, range finder, repair tool, extra balls, etc.
I’ve moved into another cart, and always seem to forget something.
And here ladies and gents is the main reason for all the concerns, way too much crap in our carts and not in the golf bags. What do people do when they play golf off campus, they gather their crap out of their carts and put it in their bags where it should be.

[Mrmean58]

Or I choose not to return to the actual rules, and act like a child throwing a fit. :1rotfl:Last year the change back to 2 carts was to return, but too many tantrums, so they are trying again this year.

Or those throwing a tantrum will be politely given a rain check and be told to have a nice day not playing golf.

[Bill14564]

Why would that slow down the game? (Not a golfer but can't see why right/left handedness would matter in a cart)

[Steve]

This could prove interesting.

What's ridiculous about the '2 carts on the fairway, one on the cart trail policy' is that as soon as one of the two carts leaves the fairway it's OK for the third cart to go onto the fairway. So nothing has been gained and the game has been slowed down.

Sorry you are NOT correct, the one cart will be required to stay off fairway for that hole!

[kendi]

Can I refuse to share a ride in a golf cart with a political sticker attached ?

A political opinion does not define a person. In spite of the differences there’s a good chance you’ll have a nice outing together. There are plenty of non political things you may have in common. Even if not there are a multitude of other things to talk about.

and you know its coming.... an increase in Trail Fees for the privilege of not using your own cart.

[Mrmean58]

I respectfully disagree. We see phone users holding up play every day. Most of the time is texting rather as opposed to talking on the phone. Or King of all delays using cell phones is FaceTime. Talking to the grand kids while on the course @ 125db. This should be punishable by capital punishment.

[tfish47@comcast.net]

Thought I was getting away from that micromanaging BS by moving here. Looks like somebody has too few real issues on the schedule.

A foursome will have maximum of four golf carts, with only two allowed on the fairways of par fours and fives, and none on the par threes, at the same time. Simple enough.

The people responsible for this stuff just need to get out of the way and let us enjoy playing golf without having to worry about who we have to ride with.

[DonH57]

That's not a problem. Don't forget. No more spectators after November first unless they're walking. After returning to golf after my second knee replacement I will be walking the courses again so no more trail fees for riding in other peoples carts.

If a lefty and righty both hit a mediocre shot, they usually end up in the rough on exactly opposite sides of fairway.

You obviously never belonged to a Private Club, most of which prohibit cell phone use on the course and clubhouse.

It's a serious breach of etiquette. Do you really play golf or are you just a TV Hacker?

If the two cart rule persists, I would like to see a reduction in the trail fee.
I also think that with two golfers in a cart there would be a lot of going left and right and not just straight to the ball.

[guitarguy]

This on the USGA website. It’s only a small portion of a large section regarding minimizing golf cart damage:
Less cart traffic means better playing conditions.

Walking or sharing a cart goes a long way toward reducing cart traffic and improving turf health. This helps courses conserve resources and provide better playing conditions for everyone.


Reducing cart traffic makes it easier to maintain healthy turf and good playing conditions. When possible, walking instead of riding is a big help. (USGA/Darren Carroll)

Golf facilities use ropes, stakes, signs and many other traffic control measures to minimize the negative impacts of cart use; but ultimately, they depend on golfers to be mindful of where and how they drive. Respecting course rules, being understanding of cart restrictions and doing our best to reduce cart traffic can have a very positive impact on the courses we play. Visit the Course Care section of USGA.org to learn more.

[dewilson58]

Torrey Pines currently instructs those riding carts to drive in the fairways and keep the carts off the rough as much as possible. They said to enter the fairway as soon as possible. So, for the most part you are not on the cart paths either.

[Marsha11]

You were spot on. It was always right and now is again. I'm pretty sure there is a group that don't give a damn.the want to go alone. Especially on exec courses. Never on champioship never

[BrianL99]

for months before the Honda and the Valspar at PGA National and Copperhead, they told us to do the same thing----they want the rough to grow out to be more challenging for the pros.

That's true of many golf courses. Rough is maintained differently. Compaction from cart use and constantly driving on grass that's allowed to grow longer, can be more damaging in the rough, than on fairways.


For that hole and all subsequent hole. The third cart must remain on the cart path or rough for the entire round.

I don't know about that, but last January or February, Mark Verkey at Palmer Legends, instituted a different take on the cart rule. I was told by at least 4 different Starters, the "new rule" was: If there were 3 carts, on each hole, (1) cart had to be designated as "cart path only" for that entire hole. The simple way to implement that in my opinion, was to decide on the 1st Tee, to designate 2 carts and divy it up as "front 9/back 9" or "odd-even".

That said, in 300 rounds of Championship golf in TV, I can't count on one hand, the number of times I've seen an Ambassador make an issue out of where carts were.

Speculation:
- If they get three then we should get three too
- If three are okay then four should be allowed too
- We only have two in the fairway....at any one time

Pretty soon four carts with no restrictions becomes the expectation.

There must be some reason, likely wear and tear on the grounds, that make four carts costly for the course.

It's tough to put the genie back in the bottle but when a reasonable accommodation for the few needing it becomes the expectation for all who want it and an expense for everyone then changes need to be considered. This is not at all unique to golf carts on courses, this is just the latest example.

The golfers who fail to recognize respect for the golf course and those that abuse the "reasonable accomodation" allowance are part of the problem. Management is partly to blame. In the 12 years I've been here in the villages whether it's the golf courses or in the squares rules are never enforced and villagers have to be treated like feral children.
