Golf Cart Acknowledgement: Golf carts are specifically used for the transportation of person, but are used for utility purposes as well.

Recognizing that golf carts are moving vehicles, the TOUR has established safety rules and procedures for the safe operation of these vehicles. Golf cart operation will be governed by rules specified by TOUR. Volunteers must be 18 years old to operate a golf cart transporting supplies and 25 years old to transport passengers. Volunteers using a golf cart will be required to sign a separate Golf Cart Safety Training Acknowledgement and Liability Release prior to operating a golf cart.
