Saddleback Cart Path Patrol: Golf Cart Safety

By Robbie Wallace

How NOT to Drive at Saddleback




As Spring nears more and more golfers are flocking to Saddleback to enjoy playing golf with the Rocky Mountains in the background. We want to take this opportunity to educate our readers about golf cart safety before they head to the links themselves. The most amazing piece of golf cart safety evidence that I bring to you today is a statistic from the TheStupidGolfer Stats Co. : 99.1420% of videos uploaded to YouTube featuring golf cart accidents contain the “idiot” or “drunk” in the title. Another vital “Internet” statistic is that 82.785% of golf cart accident victims were either looking at the beverage cart girl. 71.059% had consumed three or more alcoholic beverages, and 53.194% scored triple bogey or higher on the previous hole. Keeping these statistics in mind watch the following examples of what not to do with the golf carts at Saddleback. However, if you do encounter a problem, Outside Services Manager, Jeff Schust has oiled and lubed countless golf carts.

There are two safety rules we would like you to keep in mind when golfing at Saddleback.

1. When nearing your golf ball do NOT break abruptly!




2. When approaching water hazards, hit the brakes not the gas!
