This is OSM, and (like Humpty Dumpty) words can mean whatever we want them to mean, but that tends to lead to things getting mistagged when people interpret words with their normal meaning rather than the OSM meaning. I am still unsure that golf cart paths on golf courses actually exist: my (very) limited understanding is that there are large areas of the course where carts can travel with limited exclusion zones (such as the greens). I don't think there are (on most courses) delineated paths (there may be minor cases on any given course, but for the most part it's an area with holes in). I may be very wrong on this, but for the most part it seems that it can be inferred (assuming an access tag on the course itself does not prohibit golf carts): you can drive a golf cart anywhere but the greens, bunkers and water hazards (greens are a "legal" prohibition; bunkers and water hazards a physical limitation). If you've mapped those then you've also defined where the golf carts can go. Hmmm, some areas of woodland and maybe even the rough could physically exclude golf carts, but it can probably be inferred. Now for an expert golfer to chip in (hah!) and tell me how I have it completely wrong. -- Paul
