We would like to remind all members that standing or riding on the back of golf carts is strictly prohibited at Eastlake Golf Club. While it may seem harmless, this practice poses a significant risk of injury, not only to the individual but also to others nearby. Golf carts are designed to carry seated passengers only, and any misuse can lead to falls, collisions, or tipping incidents.
In addition to safety concerns, it is important to understand the insurance implications under Australian law. If an injury occurs as a result of improper cart usage, the individual involved may face limited or no coverage under personal insurance policies, especially if the activity is deemed negligent. Similarly, the Club's public liability insurance may be impacted, potentially leaving both the injured party and the Club exposed to legal and financial risks.
For the safety of all members and guests, we ask that everyone adheres to proper golf cart usage at all times. Your cooperation helps us maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for all players.
