They only listed two injuries – “head injuries” (undefined), and bone fractures. What constitutes an “injury” ? Breaking a nail pulling a tee out of the holder ? Does banging your head on the roof count as a “head injury” ? (guilty) Paper cut from the score card ? Sprained ankle getting out ?

Ok – you really have to either be dumb or unlucky to break a bone in a golf cart. I admit to driving with the left foot swinging off the side and have almost banged into a tree – so it can happen, but I would have fallen into the “dumb” catagory if I hadn’t pulled my leg back.

This is the same nonsense that drives up our car insurance costs. A lot of courses make you sign a waiver before giving you a cart key – but how many towns require licenses and insurance to take a golf cart out on the streets ?

I throw my sticks on my back and walk whenever I can. Of course my scores will deteriorate as a result of doing so, but who cares? At least I won’t be involved in a cart accident. 8-)

ruin the curve !! Did you mess up the grade curve back in school, too ? :-)

my scores are usually better when I walk – I lose track of the shape of the course riding in a cart along the cart path.

And they made a point of mentioning that one of the studies indicated that nearly half of these golf cart related injuries occur somewhere other than a golf course.

Which is to say, some of this could be idiots sitting around the house getting loaded and deciding to take the ol’ cart up to the corner Texaco for another sixer under the assumption that “it’s not really a DUI, right?”.
