I run a decent sized golf league and am in a bit of a bickering match with the pro about having too many single riders in carts (versus having two paying riders).

I’m just trying to figure out how much it “costs” him.

Bigger picture – my golf league has accounted for over 3,500 paid rounds of golf played at this course since 1999 not to mention all of the incidental money spent by league members on food, beer, equipment, range balls, etc. The total economic impact including greens fees is conservatively over $50K – a lot of which has gone directly into the pocket of the pro who I am bickering with.

Excuse me?
Thanks to everyone who has thus far taken the time to offer sensible and professional answers/comments to my question.

Your input and feedback are very appreciated.
Let me clarify something that I just realized isn’t evident from my question:

We don’t have more than one cart with one rider per group. It’s not like each of our foursomes head out in four carts.

When I say ‘too many single rider carts’ I mean:

We have 20 people. Some people rent a cart. Most don’t. Carts are purchased but not picked up or even loaded until teams are drawn.

We draw teams by cards. Ace w/ Ace. 2 w/ 2. 3 w/ 3 and so on.

Foursomes are determined by Aces w/ 2s, 3’s with 4’s etc.

The very nature of that system may result in 3 riders in the first group (1 cart with 2 people, 2nd cart with just one person, plus a walker).

The same might be true of the third or fourth foursome.

Collectively you might wind up – across five groups – with 2 or 3 carts with just 1 rider.

The ONLY solution to that problem is to make everyone rent a cart.
