| Question: | ""We have several private carts at our course and allow one golfer per cart. Our golf course superintendent says this adds significant additional traffic and thus compaction to the course. He wants to do extra aeration. There may be more carts, but there is less weight in each cart. Can one golfer per cart really be detrimental?"" |

| Answer/Response: | ""Absolutely! The compaction factor is tremendously increased when individual carts are allowed. The weight per cart may be less, but compaction is greater with an increased number of carts. Concentrated traffic patterns and off-path "parking" tendencies at tees and greens are worse for three or four carts versus only two. Two golfers per cart should be the policy for all courses."" |
