Unless it's designed and manufactured for operation on a golf course, it's not compliant.

There is no "or" between the words "golf course" and "for sporting". The phrase ".... for sporting or recreational purposes ..." is a qualifying prepositional phrase.

“For” is the preposition; “sporting or recreational purposes” is its object and associated modifiers.

The relevant point is that “for sporting or recreational purposes” qualifies the golf-course operation requirement; it doesn't replace it. In other words, a motor vehicle designed and manufactured to maintain a golf course, would not qualify as a "golf cart" ... it has to be designed for sporting or recreational use on a golf course.

They have golf course approved tires and TV allows them access to golf courses.

Hence, they are "designed and manufactured for operation on a golf course'.

The fact that they can also carry 4 people for other uses is irrelevant.

My 2 person Yamaha is also used for "other purposes". Does that mean it's not a golf cart?

Regardless, It's not allowed. You cannot put 4 bags on a 4 seater cart.

Based on your comment and the fact that you're a new member of TOTV, I'll assume you're new to the TV world & golf in TV?

No one who plays 4-5 times a week on the Championship courses, needs to worry about Tee Times & Penalty Points. Non issue.

You assume incorrectly. If you want to be a jerk and bail on a reserved t-time (thus removing that time from someone else who wanted to play), sure, be a jerk.

I've played as a solo with many, many villagers (last minute decisions). I've never met one with whom I would not want to play with again.

Obviously, I've never played with you.

Agree. I have a 2016 Yamaha electric golf cart which has never been on a golf course. Neither have I.

Why would you refuse to play golf with someone because they drive a golf cart you don't approve of? Is that elitist or just inconsiderate?
