Great question and thanks for asking it! I am not aware of any such classes (sounds like an opportunity there, but insurance costs might scare people away), but if there is such a class, hopefully someone else can provide that information. Do you have a neighbor that you know who might be able to assist you? I would imagine that they would be glad to help so that you don't inadvertently play "bumper cars" with them.

Here's some good reading on golf cart safety that might be of some help:

Hubby and I went to the Golf Cart Safety Clinic last year. It was very informative. Driving a golf cart is easy but I am a bit timid about driving the golf cart and the clinic helped explain the rules of the road so to speak. Go, it's free.
