Howe Executive Secretary, American Golf Car Manufacturers Association Certainly no one wants accidents, neither the course management, nor the golf car manufacturers and not even the users themselves. With over 135,000 golf cars currently in use on golf courses in the United States and Canada, the first and most important facet of the safer operation of golf cars is "User Education." The golfer has his mind on his game and it is not easy to get through to him with a safety message. So the message must be brief— for almost instant comprehension. And it must be placed before him so he sees and absorbs the message almost without knowing it. The best places for such messages are: • On the golf car itself. • At significant points on the course. • In the pro shop. Above, Toro's electric golf car.
