Abstract/Contents:Describes the use of customized signs to individually regulate cart usage on each hole. Gives advice on sign placement, wording, and usage. States that "Customized posting is not overly confusing to players, but communicating to players the necessity of checking cart usage signs at each hole is vital. In reality, it is a simple concept and golfers will better accept the need to stay on paths or in the deep rough on certain holes if they know that random scattering may be allowed on others. Posting on each hole also will avoid the tendency of players to forget the policy, a limitation or excuse that is common when there are only one or two postings for the entire course. While riding carts have become an integral part of American golf, their usage must be monitored and controlled if turf quality and course playability are to be maintained at a high level. Cart usage flexibility, pace of play, and income must also be considered, and customized posting covers all of the above."
